B+N Industries



I new that I would love to have a B+N Industries wall panel in my convenience store. As much as I love the fixtures and signage - they're a bit too contemporary for my space, so I'm having to narrow down all my likes and put in what's crucial to the space and the design concept as a whole.

This wall panel really fits into the idea that I'm going for, movement of numbers and type to complement the movement of man and his speech in his environment.

Helvetica Font created by Swiss designer in 1955, this shows the versatility of this manufacturer. Unfortunately, not much immediate information can be found about this product in regards to specification or pricing. The size shown on the website is a 96" x 48" panel (thickness of the panel is not specified), whether this is the only size available or not is not known at this point. It is available in a wide variety of paintable laminates. It also comes with all necessary hardware for installation, additional hardware priced $3-$25, dependent on installation procedures.

The panels are carved from FSC-certified mdf panels with FSC certified reclaimed wood
veneer. The finish is a low VOC, with a satin sheen.

Finishes/Prices for the Helvetica panel include Matte White ($962.00), Gloss White ($1,026.00), Paintable Lam ($962.00), Silver ($1,026.00), Matte Black ($962.00), Gloss Black ($1,026.00), Gloss Brown ($1,026.00), Gloss Red ($1,026.00), Maple ($995.00), Walnut ($995.00), Chocolate Pear ($995.00), and Unfinished mdf ($923.00). It is also available in three wood finishes: Douglas Fir ($1,263.00), Redwood ($1,474.00), and Asian Teak ($1,362.00). Although it is quite expensive, these panels add a great personal touch to any space.

These iconic panels have been tested and fire-rated, they comply with NFPA Class A / UBC Class Im and the stock mdf complies with NFPA Class C / UBC Class III. These panels are not recommended for areas with high moisture.
