Architect: Studio Pacific
Product: Décortech Firesafe MDF with Tasmanian Blackwood Veneer and Slot Perforations and Tasmanian Oak Veneer.

MOTAT combined the use of high-tech LVL structures with decorative, acoustic and fire-resistant wood paneling. Décortech perforated and non-perforated panels were used with Tasmanian Blackwood and Tasmanian Oak veneer to introduce contrast and warmth into the interior.

Décortech created custom paneling for MOTAT following the design brief from studio Pacific Architects. Full-scale samples were created for the architects at the outset so any changes could be made before construction.

The combination of perforated panels and non-perforated panels on the gallery wall creates a standout feature that manages the aviation hall’s acoustic, fireproofing and airflow needs.

Over 900 panels were installed on the gallery wall and over 1200 panels overall, with all panels being predrilled with countersunk screw holes to make installation easier.

Décortech created over 400 precision shop drawings for approval from the site measurements provided before manufacturing commenced to ensure panels were correct once they were delivered to site.

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.
