Unveiling the latest innovations and trends reshaping the walls and ceilings industry by LAURIE JONES T he rapidly advancing technology landscape has revolutionized the walls and ceilings industry, offering a plethora of stunning options. Precision laser-cut designs are now delivering award- winning results, while the use of feather-light materials is transforming interiors into jaw-dropping spaces that exceed the benchmarks set by previous installations. From acoustic fabric panels and acoustic wood panels to blinds and other architectural décor items, Wallworks Acoustic Architectural Products Inc. offers state-of-the-art, head-turning products that create wow factors and acoustic solutions suitable for any type of business or facility. Procédés Chénel International is one of the many unique specialties car- ried by Wallworks. Chénel paper creates light and clever applications for both temporary and long-term installations. Some of the more whimsical creations are undeniably avant-garde. Whether employed for banners, dropped lighting features, partition walls, or instant ceilings, Chénel paper exudes a sense of professionalism and sophistication. In its essence, paper proves exceptional for printable concepts, making it suitable for use in schools, museums, or public displays. Portable and sustainable, these products can be used in simple or highly complex and enduring installations. One of the most unique aspects of the Chénel line is that, despite being made up of paper, the finished product is remarkably stable, as explained by Lyle Fuller, general manager. "It is CAN ULC tested, and suitable for a wide range of draped commercial applications. It consists of different types and weights of anti-static fire tested kraft layer or honeycomb paper and comes in a significant range of standard colours, as well as an expansive custom pallet. In addition, Chénel's ingenious systems can be set up in minutes to create consulting areas, offices, or private workspaces. Soil resistant and fireproof, whether used whole or in strips, Chénel can be attached to both wall and ceiling designs and plays well with lighting elements," says Fuller. Another equally unique product offered by Wallworks is Braug. Crafted with Swiss-made precision using the latest in digital technology, these custom-cut graphic panels yield high-quality finished results. These panels can be used for artistic interiors or spectacular exterior applications, or even integrated as part of an acoustic or lighting system. "Their use of laser technology allows for maximum flexibility in the cutting, providing a level of detail and colour range capable of matching the exact vision of the designer," says Fuller. "The shape of the panel can also replicate historic patterns and recreate complex and accurate detail." They can be used against exterior windows or to form entry cladding or railings. When combined with natural lighting, they cast their custom patterns on ceilings and on walls. At PC350, the company has added a new choice to its Elite Glass Wall Solutions that features designs for enhancing the potential of natural light, acoustic per- formance, and individual well-being. The collection offers a range of options, including single glass, double glass, and now, curved glass wall solutions. "Our interchangeable product lines offer customizable applications that can radically transform space management, providing endless possibilities," says Katie Lind, VP of sales and marketing. Lind explains that the Single Glazed Walls are compatible with any door or standalone and are customizable and transformative. Both the Single and Double Glazed Walls can be integrated seamlessly with most configurations, including finished and unfinished walls. "All our walls have a panel height capability of up to 12 feet, with a diverse range of profile options available in various heights and thicknesses for base, vertical, and ceiling conditions. Both the Curved Single and Double Glazed Walls offer a radius range from 20 inches to an unlimited maximum, providing the flexibility to achieve elegant and precise curved configurations." Whether opting for Single or Double walls, both seamlessly integrate with swing and sliding door options, offering flexible access to working areas. The Double Glazed Walls have the added benefit of speech privacy and excep- tional acoustical performance.
