Jasmax Architects specified Décortech Firesafe Radiata Plywood ceiling panels with a blonded finish and slotted perforations in the Atrium for Quad 5. Décortech Firesafe Radiata Plywood panels provided both the acoustic treatment and fire rating required in the space and as well as helping make the ceiling a standout feature of the project.

Slotted Perforations were specified to achieve the open area and NRC values required for the acoustic treatment with the perforations being stopped around penetrations and cut-outs to create features of the light columns.

CAD files were provided by the architect and the panels were designed by Décortech to fit inside the space, minimising the extent of site measures required. Shop and assembly drawings were provided for final checking prior to manufacture. This allowed for more time for the installer to template the more complex areas such as the curving panels around the light columns. The panels rake with the ceiling and were curved at one point to follow the curve of the ceiling creating a seamless flow of panels.

Ross Duxfield Quad 5 Project Manager from Scarbro Construction states “Similar attention to detail was required for the Décortech Timber Ceiling Panels. More than 400 individually designed panels were computer programmed to ensure the penetrations would be precisely positioned.

The ceiling is a key feature of the interior and it required extensive co-ordination of the building services and penetrations. All of these were mapped out in precise details the pre drilled panels delivered to the site all ready for installation”.

The new fit out has changed the space from a cramped office with no acoustic absorption and natural light to a light open area with good acoustics where the clients love the finished result and now enjoy using.

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.
