Hunter Douglas has completed work at a London university’s refurbished refectory area, undertaken as part of a multi-million pound refurbishment.
The leading architectural products company was specified by Burwell Deakins Architects to manufacture and supply 250m2 of solid timber Linear Open 89 module in white oak for part of the ceiling and vertical bulkheads of the Lower Refectory and adjacent areas at Wilkins Terrace, which is part of University College London (UCL).
The solid wood linear systems enable contractors and architects to take advantage of a fully made-to-measure solution, creating any number of innovative designs because the panel and gap size is customisable. In addition, no cutting or adjustments are required at site, which significantly reduces installation time and cost.
Hunter Douglas’s open linear wood ceilings are an all-natural and sustainable option that comes with FSC/PEFC certification.
It has fire classification B-s2,d0 according to EN 13501-1, and achieves acoustic performance up to alpha w 0.70 without optional rock wool.
