TIMBER
CEILING SYSTEMS
Timber introduces warmth, natural texture and strong acoustic performance to a ceiling environment, while supporting the growing demand for biophilic design and material authenticity.
With this in mind, MBS has developed several well-considered timber ceiling systems that allow designers to harness these natural qualities and shape a design vision that is distinctive and fit for purpose.
NATURAL WARMTH
ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Our proprietary Apollo timber systems can be considered building blocks. Each system provides an easy-to-specify, detail and install platform that can then be customised to realise unique architectural outcomes.

Timber introduces a distinctive warmth and material authenticity to the ceiling plane, making it a powerful tool for shaping atmosphere, comfort and architectural identity.
Natural Warmth & Material Authenticity:
Timber delivers a richness and depth that synthetic materials cannot replicate, creating spaces that feel grounded, welcoming and human-centric.
Biophilic Connection:
Natural materials help strengthen the connection between occupants and their environment, supporting wellbeing, productivity and more positive spatial experiences.
Design Versatility:
Timber integrates seamlessly across a wide range of architectural styles, from contemporary commercial interiors to civic, education and hospitality environments.
Profile & Finish Flexibility:
A wide selection of profiles, spacings, finishes and species enables designers to create tailored ceiling expressions that complement the broader material palette.
Acoustic Performance:
Timber ceiling systems can be paired with absorptive backings to manage reverberation and support acoustic comfort in shared environments.
Engineered Stability:
Modern engineered and thermally modified timber products offer improved dimensional stability, reducing the risk of movement, warping or splitting over time.
Lightweight System Performance:
Engineered timber options can reduce structural load on the ceiling while maintaining the visual richness of solid timber applications.
Thermal Comfort:
Timber contributes to a more comfortable indoor environment by moderating surface temperatures and supporting balanced interior conditions.
Longevity & Durability:
When properly specified and treated, timber performs reliably over time, ageing gracefully while maintaining its character and integrity.
