{"title":"Custom ceiling panels","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom Moroccan ceiling panels are a hallmark of traditional Moorish architecture, often used to turn a standard ceiling into a focal point of art. Depending on the level of detail and the desired atmosphere, they typically fall into three traditional categories or a modern hybrid style.\u003cbr\u003eTraditional Hand-Painted Wood (Zouaq)\u003cbr\u003eThese panels feature intricate geometric or floral patterns painted directly onto wood (often cedar). This style is synonymous with the vibrant, palatial look found in Marrakesh riads.\u003cbr\u003eCustomization: You can specify the \"polychrome\" color palette—common combinations include deep blues, cinnabar reds, and leaf gold.\u003cbr\u003eBest For: Creating a warm, authentic \"Old World\" Moroccan feel in dining rooms or entryways.\u003cbr\u003eCarved Wood Lattice (Moucharaby)\u003cbr\u003eInstead of solid panels, these are often composed of interlocking turned-wood pieces or laser-cut geometric lattices.\u003cbr\u003eCustomization: These can be left in a natural oil finish to showcase the cedar grain or stained in dark walnut.\u003cbr\u003eModern Twist: Many contemporary designs use these as a \"floating\" ceiling with LED backlighting. The light filters through the lattice, casting geometric shadows across the room.\u003cbr\u003eCarved Gypsum Plaster (Gebs)\u003cbr\u003eTraditional Moroccan plasterwork is carved by hand while the plaster is still damp, allowing for incredible depth and three-dimensional texture.\u003cbr\u003eCustomization: These are usually left white for a subtle, architectural look, but they can also be tinted or accented with gold leaf.\u003cbr\u003eInstallation: Often used as a decorative border (frieze) or a central medallion to frame a traditional brass lantern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Technical Considerations\u003cbr\u003eWeight: Solid wood and gypsum panels are heavy. Ensure your ceiling structure can support the additional load, especially for large-scale installations.\u003cbr\u003eIntegrated Lighting: If you plan to hang a lantern, we insure to reinforce the center of the panel with a pre-drilled \"medallion\" hole for electrical wiring.\u003cbr\u003e Sizing: Many offer custom sizing to fit specific \"tray\" ceilings or recessed niches, which prevents having to cut through intricate patterns at the edges.\u003cbr\u003eFor high-end architectural projects at Abwab.shop\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8961\/1312\/collections\/8A191386-C2CF-4AA2-9416-C3FDDB3BF6E7.jpg?v=1778090599","url":"https:\/\/abwab.shop\/collections\/custom-ceiling-panels.oembed","provider":"Moroccan doors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
