Papanui High School’s innovative new learning spaces showcase a seamless blend of aesthetics, functionality, and acoustic performance. We proudly supplied Acoustic Firesafe Ceiling Tiles and American White Oak Crown Cut Veneered Acoustic & Non-Perforated Feature Wall Panels, enhancing both the visual appeal and acoustic comfort of the environment.

The ceiling design features a striking geometric layout that integrates our acoustic panels to manage sound effectively while complementing the bold architectural vision. Our premium veneered wall panels provide warmth and sophistication, ensuring a modern yet inviting space for students and staff alike.

This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality, architecturally specified solutions for educational environments.

These high-performance exterior cladding panels not only deliver durability and weather resistance but also create a visually dynamic and modern finish that enhances the overall architectural impact.
