Explore the transformative project by Keystone Linings at St Agnes Catholic High School in Rooty Hill. This video presentation highlights Keystone Linings' Acoustic Plywood Panels at St Agnes Catholic High School, showcasing their custom design and supply of Plywood and Fibre Cement Panels, which were integral to the school's extensive renovation. Covering numerous learning areas, a new sports hall, and comprehensive outdoor facilities, Keystone Linings have significantly modernised the school's infrastructure.

A focal point of this endeavour is the new Performance Hub, where Keystone's perforated Key-Ply Acoustic Plywood Panels (NCC2019 Perforated Gp 3) and Key-Endura FC panels (NCC2019 Perforated Group 1) showcase both aesthetic appeal and acoustic excellence. Keystone's expertise in achieving bespoke perforation patterns on wall panels allowed for a unique and visually striking design tailored to the school's specific needs. These advanced materials create an interactive learning space that not only looks impressive but also enhances sound quality, serving the needs of over 480 students. The exceptional installation by Auzoom Projects, alongside the collaborative efforts of DTA Architects and Hutchinson Builders, has resulted in a project that epitomises quality and innovation.

Keystone's Key-Ply Acoustic Plywood Panels played a crucial role in achieving an elegant and acoustically optimised environment at St Agnes Catholic High School. These panels, designed to create powerful acoustic atmospheres, maintain a natural timber appearance while offering excellent sound insulation. Ideal for high-traffic areas, these ethically sourced plywood panels are available in interior and exterior grades and various veneer timbers. With a range of finishes from natural timber grain to stained options and a fire rating of NCC2016/19 Group 1, the Key-Ply panels were perfectly suited for the school's Performance Hub, ensuring both safety and style. Schools and colleges across Australia trust Keystone Linings' products and workmanship, knowing they will receive top-quality, reliable solutions for their facilities.

The Key-Endura FC Panels further enhanced the durability and aesthetic appeal of the project. Made from uniquely-perforated fibre cement, these panels are long-lasting and versatile, suitable for both ceilings and walls and even wet areas. Their strength and ease of installation made them an ideal choice for the high-use environments within the school. Available in various sizes and thicknesses, the Key-Endura panels provided a reliable solution for both internal and external applications, contributing to the overall success of the renovation.

This initiative underscores Keystone Linings' dedication to improving educational spaces through thoughtful and effective design. Witness how their architectural and acoustic solutions proficiency has contributed to crafting an engaging and vibrant academic environment at St Agnes Catholic High School.
