USG – Paraline Baffles – TIMBRE Finish
The Paraline Baffles Linear Ceiling System from USG is a great example of a ceilings product designed around flexibility and ease-of-installation.

We’ve seen Paraline Baffles utilized to add visual accents to a ceiling system while maintaining a strong acoustical performance. With the new TIMBRE line, Paraline adds even more flexibility by offering the aesthetic of a wood finish without the inherent challenges associated with wood.
