SOLID TIMBER: For projects that require a Solid Timber finish, we can produce the slats out of beautiful solid timber in many different species so the finish can match with other surfaces, as required.

SUPALAMI: Applied to the face of the slats with matching edging, this laminate provides you with a great-looking finish without the cost of solid timber veneer. Available in a variety of finishes, including Woods and Solid Colours.

SUPACOLOUR: Matched to almost any colour, our spray paint finish gives you the ability to have your slats in almost any colour. We typically work to colour references such as RAL and NCS and spray in matt, satin or high gloss onto our factory-applied base layer.

DRIFTWOOD: When a project requires a rustic weathered effect finish, we can produce the slats out of solid timber with a lovely distressed finish. We produce these in various colours, including, white, whitewashed, and clear lacquer.

Our SupaSlat modules are installed by the below different methods:

Ceiling Installation:

SCREW FIX: Modules can be either concealed/ discreetly fixed or visibly fixed for removability with a screwdriver. SupaSlat modules can be fixed to a variety of substrates/support work systems (e.g. Unistrut or MF top hats).

LIFT AND SHIFT: Modules simply engage into a T-24 exposed ceiling grid from beneath, to enable easy access to the entire ceiling.

Wall Installation:

SCREW FIX: Modules can be either concealed/ discreetly fixed or visibly fixed for removability with a screwdriver. SupaSlat modules can be fixed to a variety of substrates / Timber Battens/support work systems (e.g. Unistrut or MF top hats).

SECRET FIX: Modules can be secretly fixed with timber split battens, aluminium Zs or aluminium hockey sticks.

For a visual of the install methods, head to our online configurator. Talk to our Technical Team for assistance with your slatted wall or ceiling application to ensure you get the optimum benefit of the system.
