Linear BaseLine
Linear BaseLine is an economically attractive ceiling solution, without any concessions in terms of quality. Linear BaseLine combines high-quality solid wood parts with the special Derako suspension system. The unique invisible fastening results in a smoothly finished ceiling. BaseLine offers you the choice of two sizes and two wood types. This standardisation ensures inexpensive production and quick delivery.
Description
Solid wood with practical suspension systems
The linear ceiling system consists of solid wood parts which are installed using the Derako suspension system. The fastening is unique and invisible. The wooden parts are installed invisibly using a special clip and profile connection on the back. This creates an even appearance with smooth ceiling lines.
System description
Linear BaseLine offers you the choice of two standard widths and two wood types in combination with our suspension system. The wood is always given a high-quality lacquer finish. The black acoustic non woven tissue provides a beautiful background. We supply the wooden parts in varying lengths (min. length 900mm). In order to allow the ends to fit nicely and connect easily, they are fitted with a milled-out tongue and groove connection.
Derako suspension system
The Derako suspension system consists of a galvanised profile with special clips. During the production process, the clips are attached to the profile in a fixed repeating pattern. This results in invisible and sturdy fastening of the wooden parts to the structural ceiling. Two standard pattern sizes are available for Linear BaseLine. The system is always delivered prefab. Special suspension systems are available for installation in swimming pools and extremely humid spaces.

Advice
Is your ceiling larger than 900 m2 and would you like to use solid wood? Please contact our advisors. We’re happy to think with you about all the possibilities and potentially the installation of only the solid wood elements.
Details
Linear BaseLine is a suspended ceiling system. You can see an overview of the system structure in the image below. Linear BaseLine is also suitable for unifying the design of the ceilings and walls. Please see our wall application for more information.
Dimensions
The table displays which Linear BaseLine standard sizes are available. The lengths of the solid wood parts are always a mix of sizes. The parts have a tongue and groove connection on the upper edge for easy linking.
| Module (A) | Panel thickness (C) | Panel width (D) | Joint (B) |
| 111 | 15 mm | 92 mm | 19 mm |
| 135 | 15 mm | 116 mm | 19 mm |
*The panel length varies (minimum from 900 mm).
Applications
Linear BaseLine is suitable for indoors and outdoors. For example as an outdoor ceiling under a canopy. Because the weather is a factor, Derako only supplies outdoor installations made of European Pine. Our advisors are happy to discuss the possibilities and any additional specifications with you.
Derako systems are suitable for every building type. Due to their high resistance to fire and moisture, our systems can be safely used in healthcare, hospitality, education, public transport, recreation & leisure, retail and shopping centres, swimming pools 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 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 solid 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.
Wood and finish
Linear BaseLine is available in two wood types.
 Ayous |
 European Pine |
Lacquer finish
The solid wood parts are as standard given a high-quality lacquer finish that protects the wood. This non-film-forming finish prevents wood damage caused by moisture, dust and dirt. The finish penetrates deep into the wood, but the natural properties and structures are maintained. The lacquer system structure is tailored to the application. For Linear BaseLine, you can choose from a transparent finish or one of the four standard wood colour looks.
Standard colours

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.
| Untreated wood | D-s2,d0 |
| Including fire-retardant treatment | B-s2,d0 |
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 BaseLine 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.

Sustainable
Circular and responsible product
Building with solid wood is very ecologically responsible. The material has minimal impact on the environment, is fully biodegradable and renewable. Wood is virtually 100% CO2 neutral and has a permanent positive impact on the health of humans, the environment and the surroundings. All Derako systems are fully demountable. At the end of their lifespan, the materials are separated. The mono-components and natural raw materials that remain can be reused in the circular economy.
Cradle to Cradle
Derako designs, builds and works according to the Cradle to Cradle® principle. We want to take care of future generations. Each material must be fully reusable, without losing value. We have had our processes certified. There are five levels of certification: Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Derako is C2C Silver certified.
FSC, PEFC, A+, ISO certification
Derako invests in sustainable business practices. We use wood types with FSC® or PEFC certificates. We evaluate finishing materials on their ecological footprint and have VOC A+ certification. In addition, we embrace the quality and environmental management systems ISO9001 and ISO14001.
BREEAM and LEED
Derako ceiling systems contribute to obtaining credits within the BREEAM and LEED evaluation and certification systems. Ask our product advisors for more information.
Derako systems are sustainable, offer creative freedom and guarantee aesthetic wood solutions. For more information and details about all certifications, please see our menu item C2C and certification.
