Asona Provides Innovative Ceiling Finishes for Ormiston Junior College

Ormiston Junior College is one of NZ's newest PPP (Public-Private Partnership) high schools. Designed by award-winning architects Andrew Scott Cotton (ASC), the stunning facility meets the needs of teaching and learning for the 21st century.

When considering acoustics for the flexible learning spaces and laneways of the new college, Asona's Triton 50 ceiling panel was an obvious choice, due to the high sound absorption co-efficient, the wide range of over-sized panels (600 x 1200mm, 600 x 2400mm and 1200 x 1200mm), and the selection of decorative finishes.

Wood-look facing laminated onto Triton 50 (1200 x 2400mm) panels instilled warmth to the lobby space, with some of the panels featuring slot perforations over black Sonatex to meet the acoustic brief.

Ground level corridors used Triton 25 (1200 x 1200mm) acoustic ceiling panels with a customised random slot perforated facing in white over grey Sonatex, creating a non-linear pattern that worked in well with the irregular ceiling layout and changes in direction.

ASC enjoyed switching up the ceiling panel sizes and finishes as an elegant and economical solution to differentiate zones within a flexible learning environment.

Sonatex is a proprietary composite glass mat acoustic laminate designed as a decorative finish to sound absorbing ceiling and wall panels.

Sonatex is designed to provide a decorative acoustically transparent laminate finish to a broad range of ceiling and wall materials such as polyester, mineral fibre, glass fibre board, rockwool, and plasterboard. Panels can be provided at NRC 0.1 to 1.00 and CAC from 15 to 45dB. Perforation options have a dual layer structure, colours or wood prints can be added for effect but white on white remains the most popular option giving a subtle textural finish to white ceilings.

Acoustically Transparent so will not deminsh the NRC of the panel it is applied too.
