SUPAEXPANCE by Supawood solves
thermal and acoustic problems for Berry household

The owners of a home in Berry NSW struggled with thermal and acoustic problems in their large open plan living area.

The problems faced were significant and complex:

  • The roof structure had a corrugated skin which caused sound to reverberate, an acoustic issue exacerbated by the large windows and timber floor.
  • The roof also did not provide adequate insulation making the temperature within this space very hard and expensive to manage.
  • The roof construction and spans were unable to bear significant additional weight.
  • The owners did not want to have to vacate the house during the installation.

A solution that combined acoustic absorption, thermal insulation, was lightweight and a low intrusion installation process was required.

After much research, they turned to Supawood who proposed a SupaExpance taut ceiling, a system which proved to meet their needs perfectly.

The new ceiling enclosed a space that would contain a specially selected insulation material. This enabled that the owners to maintain a comfortable temperature as well as dampening the noise reverberation. During the installation process the residents were able to continue living in the house.

The end look is a clean smooth ceiling expanse, optimised acoustic performance and greatly reduced heating costs.

This project is evidence of how a SupaExpance ceiling by Supawood can radically improve both the thermal and acoustic properties of any space, a dust free and quick installation process that causes a minimal disturbance to the occupants.
