Gustafs was founded in Sweden in 1913 in view of the important place wood materials hold in Scandinavian architecture and the steady demand for them, and today it ranks among the leading names in construction and architecture thanks to products that combine functionality with aesthetics.
Gustafs was founded in Sweden in 1913 in view of the important place wood materials hold in Scandinavian architecture and the steady demand for them, and today it ranks among the leading names in construction and architecture thanks to products that combine functionality with aesthetics. Within the Aspen Pro range, Gustafs is represented by its panel system - panels are built from a compressed gypsum core containing wood fibers, finished with a wood veneer; before veneering, a wood frame is fitted around the panel edges, giving a fully solid-wood appearance while increasing the panel's strength. This construction makes Gustafs wood panels fire-resistant and unaffected by changes in humidity and temperature, so they keep their shape and appearance for years. At the same time, the acoustic properties of the gypsum core mean this product can fairly be called a genuine acoustic wood panel system - it reduces a room's reverberation time and improves speech clarity and musical sound quality. Gustafs panels are therefore used as ceiling and wall cladding in concert halls, theatre foyers, libraries, prestigious office buildings, hotel lobbies, and cultural centers - spaces where the natural warmth of wood matters. Combining a wood finish with modern ceiling systems gives architects design freedom in both classic and contemporary interiors. Installation is carried out on a frame suited to the panel system, giving a demountable ceiling or wall construction that keeps access to building services straightforward. Surface care is simple - standard cleaning suited to wood finishes is enough, with no revarnishing needed. Demand for this material tends to come from the character of the interior rather than the budget: the warm, natural feel an ordinary gypsum ceiling panel cannot provide is exactly what Gustafs delivers, so it is often applied as an accent - over part of a ceiling or a reception area - rather than as full coverage. For prestigious administrative and cultural projects in Baku, wood grain, color, and panel size can be matched to the architect's original design, with the Aspen Pro team providing consultation and calculation support. As Aspen Pro, we have long provided our clients with quality products and professional service - reach out for the Gustafs range, wood-finish samples, and installation details.
