| In commercial architecture, bringing natural warmth into an interior space shouldn’t mean sacrificing technical rigor. Specifying high-end architectural wood ceilings and wall assemblies usually comes down to solving real-world execution details: tight dimensional tolerances, proven fire performance, predictable acoustic absorption, and clean MEP integration. That is why we are excited to showcase Linea Ceiling & Wall Systems.
Unlike legacy millwork or field-adapted wood ceilings, Linea manufactures complete, clip-integrated systems engineered specifically for rapid, fail-safe installation on standard heavy-duty suspension grids. By replacing field modification friction with factory precision, Linea gives design teams total freedom without constructability compromises.
The Linea Advantage What makes Linea stand apart in the market is an absolute focus on performance engineering: · Concealed Clip-Up Attachment: Heavy-duty grid clips and torsion springs snap directly onto standard 15/16″ or 9/16″ T-bar grids—eliminating exposed face-fasteners while preserving full plenum access and field adjustability. · Core-Deep Fire Protection: Rather than relying on superficial surface coatings that can discolor timber or lose integrity when cut on site, Linea solid wood undergoes factory fire-retardant impregnation through the core to guarantee ASTM E-84 Class A compliance. · Integrated Acoustic Tuning: Factory-bonded acoustic backers (SoundTex or high-density PET) achieve NRC ratings from 0.55 to 0.95 without altering slat spacing or adding assembly depth. · Dimensional Stability: Engineered core options and conditioning protocols eliminate warping, cupping, and gap variations across long continuous runs.
Complete System Versatility Whether a project calls for dramatic linear rhythm or subtle acoustic control, Linea provides engineered platforms built for purpose: · Linear Planks: Continuous solid wood or real-wood veneer planks featuring integrated reveal strips to cleanly conceal suspension hardware. · Wood Grilles & Baffles: Pre-assembled modules with consistent blade spacing and rigid structural dowel reinforcement. · Acoustic Slat & Micro-Perforated Panels: Precision-tuned timber panels designed for maximum sound absorption with zero visual compromise.
