Quick Facts
Rulon Company combines the natural beauty of wood with modern design to create an elegant product that enhances the architectural plan and allows for easy installation. Our Linear Wood uses the Rulon cliprail system which eliminates heavy metal framing and support wood needed to hold nailed-in-place boards. The installer simply suspends the cliprails from the deck then snaps the light weight linear boards into place – a cost savings in labor!
Linear Open Style
The standard module is 4 1/2" wide, consisting of wood boards 3/4 thick by 3 3/4" wide with a 3/4" space between the boards. The black fiberfelt spacer is factory glued to the backside between the boards to enhance acoustical performance. A moisture resistant black hardboard ABS strip spacer is available for exterior applications. The Linear product can be provided in random lengths with tongue and groove ends or in fixed lengths.
Back <<Linear 6" Module
The standard module 6" wide, consisting of wood boards 3/4 thick by 5 1/4" wide with a 3/4" space between the boards. The black fiberfelt spacer is factory glued to the backside between the boards to enhance acoustical performance. A moisture resistant black hardboard ABS strip spacer is available for exterior applications. The Linear product can be provided in random lengths with tongue and groove ends or in fixed lengths
Back <<Closed Shiplap Style
A standard closed shiplap module is 4” wide and consists of wood boards 3/4” thick by 4 1/4” wide. When assembled this produces a 1/4” overlap between boards. The closed style gives an all-wood shiplap appearance. The Linear product can be provided in random lengths with tongue and groove ends or in fixed lengths.
Back <<Panelized Linear
If your linear ceiling includes a large area with a specific length requirement up to 10 feet, Rulon’s panelized linear system is a very good choice. With panel widths as wide as 3 feet, these easy-to-install, pre-assembled panels can help reduce installation costs! Wood panels are made from solid wood or veneered boards, depending on the wood species selected and the board width specified. Rulon’s standard panels are available in widths up to 3 feet and lengths up to 10 feet. Veneered boards are preferable when an exotic wood species is selected or when the board widths are larger than the standard 5 1/4” module.
