Linear Cloak Wood

Linear Cloak Wood offers a beautiful and affordable alternative to the use of luxurious and expensive wood types. Cloak Wood is an innovation in wood. Solid wood and wood veneer together form the basis of this distinctive product. The combination of veneer with a solid wood core was developed by Derako’s own specialists.

The core consists of solid wood from European forests. This is coated with natural wood veneer. You will experience all the constructive advantages of solid wood. You can choose from various sizes. We offer a broad range of veneer appearances. Just like the other Derako systems, the parts are installed invisibly with the special suspension system.

Description

Unique material combination

Linear Cloak Wood combines the advantages of solid wood and a veneer finish. Using Cloak Wood in the Derako suspension system results in an invisible fastening. An additional advantage: the veneer layer and wood composition remain intact. Due to the unique product properties, the wooden parts are very dimensionally stable. Cloak Wood can furthermore be produced cost effectively. In addition to the solid wood core, Derako also has other alternatives available.

System description

Linear Cloak Wood can be produced in a number of standard sizes and a wide variety of veneer appearances. The joints in the system are equipped with acoustic non woven tissue. You can choose from the standard colours black, white or grey. Other colours are available upon request. The Cloak Wood parts are as standard finished with high-quality lacquer. The lengths of the parts are by default a mix of sizes (min. 900 mm). This partly depends on the available materials for the wooden core. The upper edges have a milled out tongue and groove connection. This guarantees that the ends fit nicely and connect easily.

Derako suspension system

The Derako suspension system consists of a profile equipped with special clips in a repeating pattern. During the production process, the clips are attached to the profile and delivered to the project location in the correct pattern size. Five pattern sizes are available for the Linear Cloak Wood system.

You can opt for a fixed design or a 50% demountable design. The demountable model allows one to easily remove Cloak Wood parts after installation for maintenance work.

Details

Linear Cloak Wood is a suspended ceiling system. You can see how the system is structured in the image below. Linear Cloak Wood is also suitable for walls. The design of the ceiling and wall can merge into one another. Please see the wall application for more information.

Dimensions

In the table below you will find the most common dimensions for Cloak Wood. The width, thickness and joint can be modified in consultation. The lengths of the Cloak Wood parts are always a mix of sizes. This depends on the available wood material of the core. The Cloak Wood parts have a tongue and groove connection on the upper edge for simple linking. The systems can also be produced in fixed lengths upon request.

Module (A)	Panel thickness (C)	Panel width (D)	Joint (B)

Curved systems

You can use Linear Cloak in curved (convex and concave) shapes. The minimum and maximum radius differs per application. Our technical department will examine the possibilities beforehand.

Prefab delivery

During the order phase, all the profiles and installation plans are presented to you for approval. Based on the drawings, Derako bends and fixes all profiles in the correct radii (including clips). The complete package is delivered to the project location together with the Cloak Wood parts and accessories. We can provide the profiles with a unique code for simple, efficient and correct installation.

Applications

Linear Cloak Wood is suitable as a suspended indoor ceiling. This product cannot be used outdoors yet. The Derako systems are suitable for all building sectors; healthcare, hotel & catering, educational institutions, 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 finishers. 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 the references menu item.

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.

The Cloak Wood ceiling system must always be fastened to the structural ceiling. We deliver a complete package with various accessories (excluding suspension material). 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? Our advisors are happy to help.

Demounting

The Derako demountable suspension system allows you to remove individual panels easily and without damaging them. This means you have access to the plenum for repairs and maintenance work.

Demountable suspension system

The demountable suspension system consists of 50% fixed clips and 50% special demountable clips. The demountable suspension system requires a gap of at least 12 mm between the wooden parts. The demountable clips can easily be removed and replaced with our demounting tool.

Wood and finish

Cloak Wood consists of a light and inexpensive solid wood core. The core is available in various widths and lengths. We cover the core in a high-quality natural wood veneer. Each layer of veneer has its own appearance and unique properties. We produce this unique, customised product on the basis of the desired appearance and dimensions.

The images below show a number of standard veneer looks. However, Derako offers a wider range. We’re happy to help.

Lacquer finish

Cloak Wood parts have a high-quality lacquer finish to protect the material. This non-film-forming wood protection is a protection against moisture, dust and dirt. The lacquer system structure is tailored to the application. In addition to the standard transparent finish, we also offer a large number of colours. Our machines can produce any colour. Cloak Wood is suitable for various colour finishes.

Fire safety

The fire safety of a building is to a large degree determined by the fire behaviour and fire reaction of the building materials used. Derako systems must meet the requirements for cladding/finishing materials.

For buildings with strict fire resistance requirements, we treat the wood with fire retardants. With this treatment, we ensure that the solid wood parts of the system meet the European standard EN 13501-1.

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, Linear 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.
