Hunter Douglas Architectural completed a UK first as part of a major Bank of East Asia (BEA) refurbishment at its Shaftsbury Avenue branch in London – manufacturing and supplying a multi-panel ceiling, with multiple widths and depths.

The 150m2 multi-panel ceiling system comprises box-shaped panels in two different widths and lengths of between 1500mm and 4000mm. Manufactured from lightweight, yet strong aluminium, the ceiling included plain and perforated panels of 80b and 180b, and the 20mm joint was filled with a V-shaped joint profile.

Aedas, the interior design company, had to resolve a number of complex issues surrounding the mechanical and engineering (M&E) installations and integrate a flush light fitting that was capable of supplying sufficient level of light required in the customer area.
