Acoustic Panels Australia Team

IGGS Performing Arts Centre | Acoustic Panels Australia

The Challenge

We were tasked with manufacturing our Aus Slat product for the Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School – Performing Arts Centre. The project involved updating a tired, 30-year-old fit-out and presented numerous challenges due to its intricate design. This included curved paneling, stair cut-outs, multiple angles, doors, and fire services.

The Solution

We meticulously crafted over 1600 pieces, each three meters long, using solid American oak. The battens measured 35mm x 35mm. Ensuring precision and quality, we paid close attention to the varying colors and the intricate details required for each part.

The Outcome

The completed fit-out was a remarkable transformation. The variation in colour and the precise alignment of the numerous components resulted in a visually stunning and acoustically effective environment, showcasing the beauty and functionality of our Aus Slat product.
