Wood Specialty Ceilings and Walls

This course delves into the integration of wood specialty ceilings in commercial buildings, exploring pre-engineered systems and a range of finishes. Participants will assess how aesthetic choices impact overall performance, safety, and durability in various designs. Key performance attributes, including acoustics, fire resistance, plenum accessibility, seismic resilience, sustainability, and installation ease, will be examined. The course also addresses the distinctions between solid and veneer wood panels, considering their visual impact, performance characteristics, lead times, and financial considerations, providing participants with a thorough understanding of wood specialty ceiling systems for designs that excel in both form and function.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the role of wood specialty ceilings in commercial buildings, including pre-engineered systems that integrate with familiar suspension components in an array of solid and veneered finishes.
• Evaluate how aesthetic choices interact with performance, safety and durability, in a broad range of standard, custom and one-of-a-kind design options.
• Examine key performance attributes: acoustics, fire performance, accessibility to the plenum, seismic performance, sustainability including contribution to USGBC LEED rating system, and ease of installation.
• Recognize the difference between solid and veneer wood panels, their appearance, performance, lead time, and cost.
