Fire Retardant Timber Acoustic Ceiling from Supawood

The WAVE BLADE ceiling stretches the full length of the entry corridor and over the reception desk alcove.

Acoustic and fire retardant timber wave blade ceiling

The total refurbishment of 50 William St in Perth's CBD was a project that demanded a dynamic timber ceiling feature to enhance the building's entry area but creating this in a fire retardant material and solving noise reverberation presented a possible budget blow out.

The designers, Cameron Chisholm & Nicol, came up with a unique concept for the ceiling which involved the use of contoured wooden blades. This effect would create a very different but contemporary atmosphere to the entry area however, their initial wooden blade concept proved to be outside their client's budget.

Known for their ability to value engineer their existing products and customizing to suit, Supawood proposed subtle changes to the concept to reduce cost without compromising the design intent.

SUPAWOOD were able to design and supply a complete package which included both the blades and acoustic backing in fire resistant material.

They also recommended an installer, taking the entire hassle off the builder's shoulders. SUPAWOOD modified one of their existing fixing systems which meant the builder and installer did not need to re-invent the wheel.
