It is a new registered design that combines functionality, aesthetics, comfort, and safety. After months of testing and trials, Grupo GUBIA incorporates this new version of its bamboo slat ceiling into its catalogue — a system featuring deep fire-retardant treatment. The new model achieves the Bs1d0 fire classification, complying with the highest requirements of the Technical Building Code DB-SI.
The system is available in several formats: with a distinctive fixed edge of 19 or 38 mm, both the height of the slat and the spacing between slats can be customized.
Ceiling installation system
A profile framework, similar to that used in a removable ceiling, is sufficient for the installation: primary and secondary profiles suspended from the structural support by rods, allowing the surface to be leveled. The modules that form the slats — of various sizes depending on the model — are hung from the structure by means of clips. Only eight clips are needed to suspend each module.
This system makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the ceiling, providing quick access for maintenance and technical inspections.
Safety and fire performance
The main innovation of this version lies in its deep fire-retardant treatment and subsequent coating with a Bs1d0 fire-resistant varnish, designed for projects requiring the highest safety standards. It is also available in other classifications such as Cs2d0/Bs2d0, depending on project needs.
An ecological system with outstanding acoustic performance
The morphology of the GUBI-SLATS system, featuring slats of varying widths and spacing, contributes to improving the acoustic quality of the spaces where it is installed. This performance can be enhanced with a perforated upper panel and sound-absorbing material, such as rock wool in different thicknesses. The result is a warm, elegant surface, where the natural texture of bamboo contrasts against a black background, providing visual richness and acoustic comfort.
The slat modules, made entirely of bamboo, offer all the sustainable advantages inherent to the material, in addition to its stability, durability, flexibility, and acoustic insulation properties.
Benefits of the new bamboo slat ceiling version in architectural projects
- The new Bs1d0 fire-rated version provides multiple advantages for architects and specifiers:
- Enhanced safety: compliance with the highest fire reaction standards, ideal for public and corporate spaces.
- Design flexibility: possibility to customize heights, spacing, and materials, including other wood species.
- Installation efficiency: modular system with a patented clip mechanism that speeds up installation and facilitates maintenance.
- Acoustic comfort: combination of slats of different sizes with additional acoustic insulation improves sound absorption in any project.
- Sustainability: use of bamboo, a renewable, strong, and stable material contributing to LEED and BREEAM environmental certifications.
- Contemporary aesthetics: the warmth of bamboo and its distinctive edge bring visual distinction and value to any architectural space.
With the GUBI-SLATS bamboo slat ceiling, an integrated system is offered that combines advanced safety, contemporary aesthetics, acoustic comfort, and sustainability in a single product. Thanks to its Bs1d0 fire rating, customizable modules, and easy installation, it is the perfect solution for demanding architectural projects seeking distinction, functionality, and environmental responsibility.
