For architects and designers, bringing a complex ceiling design to life has traditionally been a time-intensive process. However, SUPAWOOD’s WAVE BLADE CONCEPT CREATORS are changing that by offering tools specifically built to streamline these challenges. Imagine instant design visualization and real-time collaboration with clients, right in the moment! Compliance? Sorted with on-screen checks and, once your design is perfect, you skip the shop drawing phase entirely- sending your vision straight into production. Fast, efficient, and stunning-this is the future of ceiling design.
The aim of the configurators is to simplify the previously time-consuming process of designing an intricate feature ceiling. Now, you can collaborate with colleagues or even create your design with a client either in person or during a video meeting. Another significant benefit is that you will receive budget pricing and once you are happy with your final design it can be sent directly to the SUPAWOOD factory, bypassing the shop drawing phase and further reducing lead times.
