Product Comparison - BCL Vs. Gustafs Panel System®
| It is worth taking a moment to compare BCL's Acoustic Timber Panel Systems with some of the bigger brands on the market. Here we compare BCL panels to a leading manufacturer of 'off-the-shelf' acoustic timber panels, Gustafs. Below is a table comparing some of the key features and attributes between BCL and Gustafs. Design Flexibility What sets BCL timber panel systems apart is the increased design flexibility and choice offered to architects, to allow their desgins to be acheived exactly how they see them. A BCL system allows many bespoke features such as Neon & LED strip lighting, feature trims and bespoke colourings & coatings to easily be integrated to create an acoustic wall or ceiling that is unique to each project and tailored to the architects specific design and performance requirements. Delivering unique & complex surfaces Furthermore BCL offer a full and comprehensive design service, allowing us to undertake highly complex geometrical surfaces, inspecting lines of symmetry and creating rational and efficient panel layouts which are sized to align with the grids and bays of your wall or ceiling. Combine this with our installation service carried out by experienced fixers and it means BCL provide the depth, experience and security to deliver beautiful and often complex surfaces in timber efficiently and to the highest quality. |
