BTW Wall Cladding
Wooden walls create warmth and ambience in any space, from retail outlets to recreational facilities. However, budget constraints and complex installations often make this impractical.
Adapt Architectural has developed BTW Wall Cladding…named BTW because it’s Better Than Wood! BTW Wall Cladding is a faux wood wall panelling that is lightweight, durable, easy to install and has acoustic properties.
BTW benefits
Why is the BTW Wall Cladding better than wood?
Easy to install
The planks can easily be installed and repositioned without mess or damage, using our T-Bar Snap Clip and rail system.
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 wall cladding accessories
The T-bar clips fit to the side of the plank where there is a slit (which is a created on both sides of the plank during the manufacturing process).
They snap onto the T-Bar grid or the hanging channel and support the weight of the plank.
These are flat pieces of steel which fit between the planks to hold them together and keep them aligned and in place.
If the installation is happening in a location where there is no T-Bar grid then the hanging channel can be used. The hanging channel has the same dimensions as the T-Bar so the clip can be used to support the weight of the wall planks.
Create a rounded edge to your wall with a cornice finish.
