Te Puhinui: How Innoceil Merges Extraordinary and Compliance in Public Accessways

Puhinui Station is a major Auckland bus and train interchange, a joint venture between McConnell Dowell and Built Environs which was completed at the end of 2021. A solid example of the use of an Innowood product in a public accessway, the vast interior ceiling transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. This Innowood product met code compliance whilst bringing a sustainable and natural wood feel to the space.

New Zealand requires that both walls and ceilings in commercial buildings (including public accessways and accommodation) perform to the criteria set out in Section 3.4 of our Building Code. Innowood ceiling, linings and screen materials can be manufactured with a specific formulation that ensures this compliance. The fire and smoke inhibitor is built-in to last the life of the product.

This formulation for commercial interiors and access-ways meets the requirements of the code for interior linings. Innowood ceilings were produced in a custom profile for the Puhinui Station Interchange to meet these design and fire requirements.

InnoCeil Concealed Clip Fixing:

Ceiling System utilises a stainless-steel clip attached to each profile and screws into the ceiling substrate without exposed fixings. The system is easy to install and delivers consistent shadow lines between the boards for a smart uniform look.

Secret Fixed Shiplap:

Innowood shiplap ceiling system is based on a traditional tongue and groove design, the Shiplap Ceiling System creates a clean finish with uniform joints but without any visible fixings.

Suspended Click-On System

Ceiling System works on the principle of clipping the InnoCeil profile onto its suspended carrier to secure it in the desired position. This system is available in different sizes and span centres to suit most design requirements. The Aluminium Carrier is available in 60 and 130mm centres. The lightweight suspended Click-On system is perfect for areas where structural loads are critical. The Click-On system makes it easy to install and replace battens.
