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.
