Décorslats
Timber battens are currently on trend, but architects are struggling to comply with fire requirements while staying within budget. The Décorslat panelised slat system is an ideal solution. Achieving a Group 1-S fire rating, and offering options in real timber veneer and paint finishes, designers can create a dynamic, elegant and striking space utilising the look of timber battens.

Décorslat panelised slat systems are available in a standard 2400 x 1200mm panel or can be sized to suit project requirements.

Designers can choose from our standard slat range or customise the size of the face slats and the spacing in-between to create a bespoke look. Depending on the desired result finishes can be specified from Big River Panels large range of real timber veneers or from our extensive colour range for an eye-catching paint-finish.

Talk to us today about creating a custom design for your project and seeing your vision come to life.
Custom Routing
Big River Panels can rout custom designs, company names or logos into plywood or MDF panels. Standard panels sizes are 1200 x 2400mm MDF or Firesafe MDF of 12mm thickness. Panel sizes may vary depending upon design constraints. Below are some examples of what can be achieved.
Custom designs are available to manufacture upon consultation with our Design team.
Concept Tiles
Concept tiles are designed to fit into standard 24mm 2-way exposed suspended ceiling systems, including existing installations. Concept Tiles are easily installed as well as easily removed allowing for easy access to services. Exposing the grid systems creates an attractive detail.
Concept tiles are available in:
600 x 600 x 12mm and 600 x 1200 x 12mm painted or veneered Firesafe or standard MDF.
Big River Panels can also create customised versions of the Concept tiles to fulfil any project requirements and can rout to custom sizes as well as creating cut outs for sprinklers, lights or any other service penetrations required.
Standard Ceiling Tiles Designs
All standard perforations can be modified and provided in Concept tile form as well as the patterns below.

Prestige Tiles
Prestige is a tile system that fits into standard 24mm suspended ceiling grids. An extended tongue on the long edge of the panel completely covers the grid in that plane, creating a single-rail look with all the advantages of a removable tile system. If a rail-free look is required, then the short edge rails can be replaced by Strongbacks. This option does not allow tiles to be removed in their own space, however they can all be removed if required.
Prestige tiles are available in:
599 x 599 x 16mm and 599 x 1199 x 16mm when creating a fully concealed grid or 1174 x 599 x 16mm when leaving a 1 way grid exposed.
Prestige Tiles come in painted or veneered Firesafe or standard MDF. Either non perforated or in a number of acoustic perforations including Bubble, Portcullis, Slots, Holes and Multigroove. Custom designs and sizes are also available.
Big River Panels can also create customised versions of the Prestige tiles to fulfil any project requirements and can rout to custom sizes as well as creating cut outs for sprinklers, lights or any other service penetrations required.
Standard Ceiling Tile Designs
All standard perforations can be modified and provided in prestige tile form as well as the patterns below.
