Stunning BCL Timber Ceilings at Nova East in London

 

Nova East in London is a stunning example of how BCL timber slat ceilings can elevate the aesthetic appeal of any space while also providing high-performance acoustic benefits. The use of BCL wooden slatted panels creates a warm and inviting atmosphere to the entrance area, that is both visually striking and functional. Our timber slat panels are highly flexible in terms of panel size, which allows architects to realise their design goals while minimising waste.

One of the major benefits of using BCL's solid wood slatted panels is their high level of acoustic performance. Our panels are perfect for environments where noise reduction is a priority, such as in offices, schools, or healthcare facilities. The slatted design of the BCL wood ceilings helps to absorb sound waves, minimising echoes and creating a comfortable environment for people to work or study in.

Another significant advantage of using BCL wooden slat panelling is their sustainability credentials. These panels are fully FSC and PEFC certified, which means they come from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, the use of timber in construction has a low embedded carbon footprint, which helps to minimise the environmental impact of the building.

Overall, BCL timber slatted panels and wooden slat ceilings offer numerous benefits, including high acoustic performance, reduced waste, flexibility in panel sizes, and a commitment to sustainability. These attributes make them a smart choice for any construction project, including the Nova East project in London.

Charred Timber Cladding Panels at Oxford L&M 

 

BCL have recently completed installation of the beautiful charred wood cladding panels at The Oxford Life & Mind Building for Wates Construction. The external timber cladding panels have undergone the traditional Japanese 'Shou-sugi-ban' process, whereby the timber's surface is charred to offer greater durability and fire performance (essentially making the top layer of wood inert). 

BCL wooden cladding panels have been prefabricated off-site using secret fixings, removing any weaknesses to the timbers surface, allowing superior durability and ageing of the timber slats.

BCL's timber slatted panels were chosen due to the combination of secret fixings, full design service and direct installation offered for an end-to-end delivery for Wates construction. We are also fully FSC certified and offer full systems fire testing to EN13501-1 of our wood panels
