Decorative Floating Timber Beam Ceiling from Supawood

3D floating beamed ceiling effect completes shopping centre's food precinct

SUPAWOOD'S Supaslat MAXI BEAM forms a decorative floating timber beam effect which flows along the mall ceilings of the food precinct at the Campbelltown Mall in Sydney NSW.

Originally for the refurbishment of the mall ceilings the designers, Edge ID, incorporated the lighter timber slats of SUPASLAT in their design. However it was decided that slats would not achieve the impact they visualised and wanted the look of a chunkier decorative timber beam instead.

This alteration to the design presented potential installation obstacles and a cost blowout so Supawood recommended they use the heavier, more pronounced lineal look of the Supaslat MAXI BEAM as a light weight economical beam alternative to heavy solid timber.

MAXI BEAM is supplied pre-finished and can be ordered to the exact lengths the design configuration requires. This and the fact the beams are so light and easy to work with meant there was minimal disruption to trade in the centre. The light weight nature of MAXI BEAM also provided a cost saving to the client by overcoming the issue of weight restriction on the existing overhead structure, and the associated additional costs, if solid timber had been used.
