Siberian larch ceiling makes an impression A
solid wood linear ceiling is providing a visual centrepiece at a new £40m hospital in London. Hunter Douglas Architectural
specified 278sq m of wood panels to help create a warm welcome for staff, patients and visitors at the renovated Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) in Stanmore. The upgrade replaces buildings
dating back to the Second World and marks the first stage of an ambitious redevelopment which will provide more than 8,500sq m of accommodation over five floors. Hunter Douglas Architectural was
specified by architect, BDP, to provide Siberian larch for the ceiling in the atrium, which tops a five-storey
open and fully-glazed entrance. It supplied panels in random
lengths from 900mm-2500mm in 111mm module width. The Class O treated larch has UV-
resistant varnish and is pre-fitted with an acoustic fleece to the open joint. MPG Contracts installed the panels,
which are designed with a pre-fixed clip system to ensure faster installation, onto a Hunter Douglas Architectural metal suspension rail. The clips for the linear system allow
for the panels to be provided as 50% demountable. Juliette Halliday, national sales
manager at Hunter Douglas Architectural, said its solid wood linear ceiling and wall systems are
developed to maximise efficiency as well as to bring a more-natural aesthetic to the building. “The Hunter Douglas Architectural
solid wood linear ceiling is an extremely-popular choice for specifiers and architects because of the unique manufacture and fitting system,” she added. “The addition of the solid wood
ceiling is a lovely contrast to glass, the clean white stairwells, and grey metal panels, because it creates a sense of warmth as well as providing acoustic comfort.”
