  • Architect: Chow Hill Architects
  • Product: MDF and Firesafe MDF with Acoustic Slot Perforations and Colourful Paint Finishes.

Over 1650 298 x 548mm panels with chamfered edges were made for the pre-function centre walls. Panels were painted 30 different paint colours and gloss levels including metallic and strategically positioned in a mosaic tiled effect to create the imagery of a wood pigeons outstretched wing.

Firesafe MDF was used in the arena with a paint finish to meet the fire requirements of the job. Arena Stair Rise panels used slotted perforations to provide the acoustic treatment required with a matt black finish. On the horizontal terracotta battens, four different orange hues were used to give a colourful standout feature that enhances the arena and contrasts with the black wall areas.

The Arena Exit way panels were painted Clockwork Orange for visibility and had a 46% open area to achieve high performance acoustic ratings. Décortech worked closely with the Architect and Main Contractor to design these panels to ensure they met the open area requirements without compromising the stability of the panels.

Décortech worked closely with the Main Contractor to produce shop drawings and assembly drawings for all panels prior to manufacture.

Décortech have been market leaders in acoustic and decorative wall and ceiling linings since 2002. Décortech offers a complete program of decorative, acoustic and fire resistant panels, combined with standard or fully customised perforations to suit your design requirements. We are a New Zealand owned company and all our panels are manufactured in our Penrose factory.

Our years of experience means we have in place a stringent process to minimise errors in the manufacturing and delays on site. Shop drawings for every panel are included in our service to ensure that the panels are made right, first time. This process has been invaluable to our installers as potentially costly mistakes are picked up on paper and fixed before they become problems during construction.

When working with Real Timber Veneer, Décortech work closely with architects to ensure the best outcome. We have in place a control sample archive for completed projects to help minimise veneer inconsistencies should extra panels be required at a later date. Décortech will also work closely with suppliers of other veneered items to ensure a better project consistency.

All standard Décortech panels have been tested for Acoustic performance by Marshall Day Acoustics making it easy to specify panels to achieve required NRC and open area values.

The Décortech Paintline is used to pre-finish most of our panels. The Paintline allows us to provide a high quality finish with a computer controlled application giving a perfect, run free appearance every time. Our specially developed UV cured paint or clear finishes are hard wearing, scratch resistant and ensure a dust free final product. Panels come off the line dry allowing us to keep lead times to a minimum. Pre-finished Décortech panels mean a controllable and pre-determined panel appearance and finish quality.

At Décortech we have years of experience behind us and have been part of some of New Zealand’s most prestigious projects. We have delivered many high end commercial projects building a reputation for quality. In 2010 we completed Wellington Airport, one of our most demanding projects. There were over 500 shop drawings created to achieve the complex and unique angled triangular panels. The results are outstanding and well worth the effort.

At Décortech we have the ability to make your project come to life. Talk to us today for further information or to request samples.
