When you look up in the hall of a hotel, in an office or in the auditorium of a university or conference centre, you find false wood ceiling tiles. Why are they so widely used? What benefits do they bring? And why choose a material as old as wood?
- Sound absorption: Architectural sounds is one of the main reasons for using wood tiles in ceilings. Wood is a porous material with good sound absorption in itself but, when perforations or slots are added to the wood panels, sound absorption is increased. The level of absorption varies according to the type of perforation and makes it possible to balance and correct some annoying sound imbalances such as reverberation
- The elegance of wood: There are other materials that can be used for acoustic conditioning but none is as elegant, warm and distinguished as wood.
- Sustainability: Wood is a natural, renewable and recyclable material. In addition, it is possible to assure it is sourced in sustainably managed forests by choosing wood with the PEFC or FSC seals.
- Variety of finishes: the variety of finishes available in the most complete catalogues of false wood ceiling tiles, such as Spigotec's, is enormous. Natural varnished wood, melamine, lacquered or high density veneers can be chosen.
- Versatility. The options in dimensions and assembly systems, as well as the possibility of applying fire-retardant or water-repellent treatments, make them materials capable of meeting the needs of any project.
