The Challenge

The architect required a solution that mirrored a plaster pattern but did not want to use plaster. The goal was to achieve the aesthetic of a plaster ceiling using an alternative material.

The Solution

We designed a system that replicated the look of a plaster ceiling but used melamine wood grain. This solution was implemented in several boardrooms, offering both angled and straight options. The design featured a concealed fixing system, making the installation quick and easy.

The Outcome

The final product successfully mimicked the desired plaster pattern while providing the durability and aesthetic appeal of melamine wood grain. The concealed fixing system facilitated a smooth installation process, meeting the architect’s requirements and enhancing the boardrooms’ visual appeal.
