BTW Acoustic Ceiling Planks
A wood plank ceiling adds a beautiful accent to any space. However, budget constraints and complex installation often makes this option impossible.
What’s more, wood struggles to cope with moisture in the air and needs to be varnished or painted for protection. Over time, this can flake or crack as wood expands or contracts.
That’s why Adapt Architectural has developed the BTW Ceiling System… named BTW because it’s Better Than Wood! It’s easy to fit, low maintenance and has acoustic properties that can’t be found in traditional wooden ceilings.
BTW benefits
Why is the BTW Ceiling System better than wood?
Easy to install
You can add ceiling planks directly to a standard ceiling grid without any additional structural support, using our simple to use T-Bar Snap Clip.
Simple to customise
The planks can be cut on-site, so you can integrate lights, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, sprinklers etc. with ease.
Acoustic benefits
The unique, micro-perforated finish offers a superior acoustic performance.
Superior safety
The planks are made from PET fibreboard which is highly fire retardant.
Increased stability
It’s lightweight and long-lasting. Unlike wooden alternatives, the planks don’t shrink and expand with heat and moisture, offering more stability.
Environmentally friendly
BTW is mostly made from minimum 50% recycled material and can be reused again in the future.
Greater choice
Choose from six standard colour finishes with the option to customise to your environment.
More affordable
Save money on material and installation costs, compared with traditional wooden alternatives.
Long-lasting
BTW panels come with a 10-year guarantee.
BTW ceiling plank accessories
There are two conditions that work with the BTW ceiling system, one is for when the ceiling planks are engaging on a T-bar grid and when the planks are engaging on a non-T-Bar grid. Each has its own perimeter trim design. All trims are black anodised and come in 2200mm lengths.
Installation
BTW ceiling planks are simple to install. Watch the video to find out more.
