Linear Wood Ceilings

LINEAR

Linear Metal Ceilings are a functional, yet elegant way to address a ceiling surface. This incorporation of lighting and air-handling make this design a truly complete ceiling system.

Now, add to this already proven popular choice for ceilings the possibility of new finishes.

WOOD VENEER

We now offer this great system with natural wood veneer. This can be custom stained or finished with clear lacquer. The mechanics of this popular metal ceiling system, with real wood veneer, provides a proven structural system made to look even more beautiful.

BELBIEN

Belbien, a wood-grained, architectural grade finish, laminated to the paraline pan, is a beautiful alternative to natural wood. This decorative film created through the latest technology, is made of fire rated P.U.C. and is adaptable to any environment both interior and exterior. The wood grain and color is so perfect that even when used in elevators, you cannot tell it from natural wood.

Finish Options

SOLID WOOD VENEER
Our real solid-wood veneer options shown are our standard finishes. These typically have a clear lacquer finish. If you have another species or finish in mind, give us a call.
NOTE:
The actual color and grain of the final product may vary slightly from the printed color and grain shown.

BELBIEN
We have listed 10 wood-look finishes as our standards. This is truly just the beginning of what is available. There is no way that we could show you all of what Belbien offers. If you take a look at their web site, we can apply all of their finishes to our linear system.

This Linear System has an aluminum base. When you use this with our special Belbien finish, it can be used in high humidity situations.


Paraline Pan Styles


We offer three styles of Linear Pans. The carrier systems are universal for all three designs.

Style One and Three provide an open reveal for acoustical control. The second is absorbed by an acoustical material in the plenum.

Style Two is constructed with integral flanges that overlap to form a reveal closure that is appropriate for exterior soffit applications.


Paraline Carrier Styles

Four carrier designs cover every type of suspension requirement, indoor/outdoor, flat/curved, new/renovation.



SYMMETRICAL CARRIER
Exterior installations and unusual load conditions required the use of our Symmetrical Carrier. The carriers connect with 6" splice for extra strength.

 

RENOVATION CARRIER
The Renovation Carrier rotates onto an existing grid. This carrier provides the necessary attachment for all three of the Pan styles. Old acoustical ceiling tile can be easily covered without removal and still provide acoustical value.

MAIN TEE & CROSS TEE
The Linear System is installed using special Main Tee and Cross Tees. These are also available fire rated. This is the most common method of installation. A standard 4' x 4' pattern is created with these two components, onto which the pans snap.


 

 

FLAT CHANNEL CARRIER
The flat channel carrier can be mounted directly to structure and is flexible enough to be bent to a radius.


Layout

The Linear Wood Pan is 144' long and consideration should be taken when planning your seam layout. Typically the seams are installed in a random pattern.

Splice Plates

Splice plates are formed for snap fit in butt-cut pan ends.


Curved Suspension System

The Linear System when used with the Curved Suspension System create dramatic vaults, arches and waves. This system can be used with Paraline Pan Styles I and II.

H.V.A.C.

Air distribution components for the Linear Ceiling System are designed to interface with the suspension systems and pans to meet design requirements.


End Plugs

When the field condition does not provide a ledge or wall for the Linear System to meet, we provide end plugs. The end plugs are finished to match the pan. These plugs simply snap into place to provide a clean look on an exposed end.
