Grill Cloak Wood
Grill Cloak Wood combines an innovative wood composition with the Derako suspension system. Solid wood and wood veneer together form the basis of this distinctive product. Cloak Wood was developed by our specialists and offers many advantages in terms of design, appearance and budget.
The core consists of European solid wood. This is finished with a layer of natural wood veneer. We offer a broad range of veneer appearances. You maintain the appearance and perception of solid wood, while the application possibilities are increased. Grill Cloak Wood is also suitable for application in curved or arched shapes.
Description
Cloak Wood panel system
Grill Cloak Wood is a ceiling system consisting of Cloak Wood slats and the Derako suspension system. You choose the desired wood veneer appearance, the dimensions and the spacing. We produce the Cloak Wood slats so that the appearance and dimensions match your design. In addition to the solid wood core, Derako also has other alternatives available.
Cloak Wood slats are attached to each other using aluminium dowels so they form a panel. The aluminium dowels are available in diameters of 12 mm and 20 mm. The default colour of the dowels is black, but other colours are available in consultation.
Your design is our starting point. On the basis of the architectural design, all panel lengths are specified and made to measure. The half-lap dowel connection makes it easy and quick to connect the panels. This results in a visually even surface with a smooth appearance. We guarantee stylish ceiling lines and efficient installation at minimal cost.
The power of the system
The large variety of design options and solid wood dimensions are a few of the advantages offered by Cloak Wood. The veneer coated ceiling parts offer extra possibilities in terms of dimensions. The panels are furthermore dimensionally stable. Cloak Wood is also affordable compared to exclusive wood types. Thanks to the professional finish, Cloak Wood is a beautiful alternative when luxurious wood types are economically or technically unsuitable.
Derako suspension system
The Derako suspension system is a black Cross-Lock system with special black dowel clips. These clips ensure an invisible, dimensionally stable and sturdy connection between the Cross-Lock profile and the grill panel. The system is suitable for installation in staggered patterns and in curved or arched shapes.
Details
Grill Cloak Wood is a suspended ceiling system. You can see an overview of the system structure in the image below. The system is also suitable for walls. This allows the design of the ceiling and wall to merge into one another. Please see wall application for more information.

Curved systems
Would you like a design with curved shapes? This is possible using Grill Cloak Wood. The Derako suspension system is suitable for application in curved (convex and concave) shapes. Our technical department will examine the possibilities beforehand.
Prefab delivery
During the order phase, we elaborate all the curved shapes and installation plans in detail. These are submitted to you for approval. During the production process, the profiles are bent and fixed in the correct radii. We deliver prefab to your project location. The aluminium dowels in the panel are replaced by flexible dowels in order to create curves. We can provide the profiles with a unique code for simple, efficient and correct installation.
Applications
Grill Cloak Wood is installed as a suspended indoor ceiling. This product cannot be used outdoors yet. Derako systems are suitable for every building type. Due to the high resistance to fire and moisture, our systems can be safely applied in healthcare, hospitality, education, public transport, recreation & leisure, retail and shopping centres, and office buildings.
Bring nature inside
Wood has enormous added value for the perception, quality of space and economic value of a building. Building with wood is also very sustainable. Derako systems have been used in sustainable and circular projects by many architects, contractors and building companies. For example, at Schiphol Airport, Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, Delta Hospital Chirec, Wroclavia Shopping Center and Alexandra Hotel. For inspiration and more of our completed projects, see menu item references.
Installation
Derako systems are installed by many national and international installers and building companies. We advise them as a producer and supplier. And we support designers. This is how we create unique ceilings and walls together with you.
Installation is always performed by third parties, but they can turn to us for installation advice.
Cloak Wood ceilings must always be fastened to the structural ceiling. The installation of the panels is carried out using the Derako API Cross-Lock suspension system. We supply your project together with a complete package of various accessories (excluding suspension material). For a complete installation description, please see the downloads tab. For a complete installation description – for indoors and outdoors – please see the downloads tab. Are you interested in our products or would you like more information? The Derako advisors are happy to help.
Demounting
Grill Cloak Wood is fully demountable. This means you retain access to the plenum for repairs and maintenance work.
You can demount two panels by removing the special dowel clips on the visible side by hand. You can then move the panels downwards in a V shape and lower them. When repositioning, first bring the two panels to the ceiling in a V-shape, after which you attach the dowel clips again. For more details, please see our installation manual.
Wood and finish
Cloak Wood slats have a light solid wood core. The core is available in various widths and lengths. We coat the outside of the core with a high-quality natural wood veneer. Each layer of veneer has its own appearance and unique properties. We produce these unique, customised ceiling parts on the basis of the desired appearance and dimensions.

In the images below you will find a number of standard veneer looks. However, Derako offers a wider range. Our advisors are happy to discuss all the possibilities with you.
Veneer looks
 Bamboo natural vertical |  Ash Olive |  Bamboo caramel vertical |  Oak black burned texture |
 American Walnut |  American cherry |  Sapeli |  Olive wood |
 Oregon Pine |  Teak |
Finish
The Cloak Wood panels are as standard given a high-quality lacquer finish. This non-film-forming finish prevents wood damage caused by moisture, dust and dirt. The lacquer system structure is tailored to the application. Cloak Wood is suitable for colour finishes. In addition to the standard transparent finish, a large number of colours are also available. Our machines can produce any desired colour.
Acoustics
Acoustics are very important for the way people perceive a space. A space with good acoustic balance improves health, productivity, concentration, learning performance, communication and safety.
Due to its shape, processing and the natural properties of wood, Grill Cloak Wood is sound-absorbing. Extra attenuation can be achieved by placing a sound-absorbing (sheet) material behind the systems. This extra attenuation creates a pleasant atmosphere, also in buildings where many people congregate at the same time.
Customised acoustic material
You can optionally order acoustic non woven tissue separately. Black is the standard colour. The non woven tissue fabric is delivered including an excess length of 50 mm on both sides. During the installation at the construction site, the acoustic non tissue can be attached to the back of the panels.
