BCL timber slat ceiling systems offer more design flexibility and top of the range, Class A acoustic performance for internal spaces. Our unique modular approach offers thousands of design options, whilst harnessing the efficiency benefits of prefabrication for delivering beautiful wood ceiling areas with the very best fire performance and full systems testing available.

 

Benefits Of BCL Wooden Slatted Ceilings

  • Full systems Fire TESTING to EN 13501-1
  • BIM level 4 Full system design (in Revit or similar)
  • ASIAD & SIDOS Compliant ‘Bomb-blast’ grids available
  • Flexible panel sizes to suit layouts --> no cutting = < 1% waste
  • Secret-fixings --> timber slats age better + Coatings last longer
  • Solid wood slats -  natural variation & beauty
  • FSC® & PEFC certified timber --> Full BREEAM Mat03 credits
  • High recycled content (typically 20%)
  • High natural / organic content (typically 65%)
  • Bespoke fire retardant colour coatings

Fixing Options for Wooden Ceilings

We have several different suspension grids for INTERNAL WOOD SLAT CEILINGS, depending on your layout and design preferences.

CD-1 Concealed Demountable

BCL timber slatted ceiling panels 'lay-in' to a concealed Aluminium sub-grid, which uses solid wood slat fascias to hide suspension points for each BCL timber ceiling panel. This fully demountable wood ceiling grid is ideal for low level flat areas that may require regular access to service void above panels.

CS-1 Concealed Semi-Fixed

BCL wooden slat ceiling panels are screwed up to the underside of a fully concealed Aluminium sub-grid, offering increased security. This system is ideal for high level, banked or wooden ceiling areas that are exposed to wind-loading. All timber panels can still be mechnically unscrewed and demounted by maintenance staff.

CF-1 Concealed Fixed

BCL wooden slat ceiling panels are hung onto a tubular Aluminium sub-grid using proprietary BCL 'panel clips'. This systems is usually reserved for curved timber slat ceiling areas, allowing for the easy creation of complex geometry and double curves in the grid surface for BCL ceiling panels to then clip and fasten to.

Timber Species For Wooden Ceilings

Internal wood ceilings that are fully enclosed typically do not have any durability requirements and can use any species of any rating. 

More information can be found by downloading our Timber Species PDF below or simply contact us directly.

Timber Slat Sizes For Wood Slat Ceilings

Choose the slat size for your timber ceiling from any of our standard dimensions 19, 25, 44, 69, 94, 119 & 144mm in any combination (Note max limits exist for each species)

We have a standard range of acoustic timber profiles to choose from, or you have the flexibility to even create your own to bring a unique look for your BCL acoustic wood ceiling.

Fire Performance of Wood Ceilings

BCL perform full systems fire testing to EN13501-1 on our timber slatted ceilings, in line with Approved Document B regulation for composite lining systems. 

Our solid timber slat ceiling panels are typically pressure treated with non-hazardous (zero biocide) fire retardent to acheive either Euroclass B or C wooden ceilings.

Non-combustible ceilings and fire resistant faux wood can be provided to acheive Reaciton to Fire classes (A1 and A2) using our Aluminium 'Timber Effect' range

For more information please contact us directly.

Wooden Ceilings Acoustic Performance

BCL Acoustic Timber Ceiling panels achieve the very highest acoustic performance, right up to top of Class A acoustic performance band (αw = 1.00)

The larger the open area (gap between slats) the greater the acoustic performance. You can decide your gap based on performance or simply what you would like to see.

Please contact us now to discuss your acoustic requirements further;
