VENEERED WOOD GRILL
The Veneered Wooden Grill system consists of wooden slats that are secured to each other with an aluminum dowel. These assembled slats form the grill panel, which can be produced in various lengths and widths. A wide range of wood veneers is available, all with their own characteristics. The system is easy to install and allows the ceiling to be demountable and provides easy access to the plenum. Due to the freedom of choosing your own grill dimensions, a unique ceiling or wall can be created.
Overview
General Information
Why Veneered Wood Grill?
Veneered Wood Grills are an environmental friendly building product with endless possibilities. The wood is used efficiently in the production of veneer, as modern production methods ensure that around 800-1000 m2 of veneer can be produced from 1 m3 of wood. The advantage of the system is that it is a made-to-measure solution, meaning no cutting adjustments are required at site, significantly reducing the installation time and cost.

- Possibility to use large grills up to 150mm height, other sizes upon request

Application
The Veneered Wood Grills are suitable for all building sectors: Corporate, Transport (airports, metro-, bus -, train stations), Retail, Leisure, Public spaces, Hospitality, Healthcare, Education or Residential.
Natural Flexibility
Veneered Wood Grills give you the freedom to make a natural looking wall or ceiling design. The look of the wood grills is created by a careful selection of the species type, colour and structure. The natural growth patterns of each tree can be clearly seen in the veneer, including natural characteristics such as knots and outgrowth. Once the veneer is chosen, the panels will be produced according to the lay out plan to ensure a perfect fit.

Veneer matching
The veneer sheets, with a width of 10-25 cm, are mis-matched and glued to form panels. Upon request it is also possible to slip-match or book-match sheets. Depending on how the veneers are matched, a significant design is created

Product Details
Wall fixation
The Veneered Wood Grills allow the designers to decide the grill dimension. The height of the grill slats is between 40 - 150mm, and the width between 17 - 32mm. The gap can be any size, but a common rule of thumb is that the gap between the slats does not exceed the slat height. The maximum length of the slat is 2780mm. Of course, other dimensions are available upon request.
Optionally, the metal dowel can be replaced with a wooden backer, or a flexible dowel to created curved grills.
Wall Solution
The installation of the Veneered Wood Grill wall panels is easily done, by clicking the dowel into the wall clips, which are mounted on a substructure or wall. The grills can be installed horizontally or vertically.
- Quick installation with the dowel that snaps onto the wall clips
- Installation in horizontal and vertical direction possible
- Slat size is fully customizable
Performance
Acoustic performance
Acoustical comfort in an office space, school or public building contributes to our well-being as good acoustic comfort can positively affect health, communication, safety, productivity and learning.
Playing with the panel width and gap will, can provide the necessary acoustic performance for different atmospheres.
Reaction to fire
By impregnating wood, a reaction to fire classification (EN13501-1) of B-s1,d0 can be achieved.

Sustainability
Health and wellbeing
Hunter Douglas contributes to sustainable buildings through aesthetic solutions that enhance comfort and save energy. Promoting health and wellbeing of their occupants is arguably the most important function of buildings. Buildings are not constructed just to be energy efficient. Our shading solutions promote the use of healthy daylight without the hindrances of glare and thermal discomfort. Our acoustic ceilings are a key element in the provision of acoustic comfort.
Sound materials
Environmentally sound materials are key to sustainable buildings. Our strategy is to pick materials that have good environmental properties to start with. Many of our products are made of aluminum produced in our own smelters. We’ve optimized our processes to use up to 99% of recycled content to produce the right alloy for our products. Our wood is FSC certified and we embrace the Cradle to Cradle principle in our product development.
Energy savings
Reducing the energy use of the total building stock is key to the prevention of global warming. Most modern office buildings use more energy for cooling than heating. Effectively managing the solar energy that passes through the transparent part of the façade is a key strategy in the prevention of overheating in both old and new buildings. Our high performance shading solutions bring substantial energy savings, while at the same time promoting health and wellbeing.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Keen on Green is an important company-wide initiative to reduce energy consumption, water usage and our overall carbon-footprint. We embrace the ISO 14001 framework to actively manage our Keen on Green objectives. Hunter Douglas and its employees actively support the communities in which we live and work, as well as those on a more global scale. Business is people. We pride ourselves on our worldwide network of experienced, intelligent, passionate and creative people that have consciously chosen Hunter Douglas as their employer.
