Create a bold, new workplace celebrating the importance of community in a space that combines functionality, aesthetics and acoustic performance.

The constant activity of a busy workplace can be very distracting and noise is a common issue raised by employees, especially in open-concept offices. The new head office is designed for collaboration including open-floor plan setups that bring with them a new set of challenges such as:

• Noise level control – prevent high noise levels in the office, whilst adding to the design intent brief provided by Woods Bagot.
• Requirement for a two system approach to meet the design requirements for the project. A neat clean acoustic control ceiling for the main office area, and a bold ceiling design for the boardroom. Both of these systems need to add to the aesthetics and acoustics of the project
• Meet fire safety requirements and allow easy access to the ceiling void

Control the acoustics of the workplace with functional and aesthetically pleasing design solutions.

Progressive Materials worked closely with the design team at SAS International to provide premium Aesthetic Metal Ceiling Solutions that meet acoustic requirements for each area. SAS International range of ceilings, rafts, baffles and wall panels provide the highest levels of sound absorption and sound insulation available from systems of these types (up to Class A sound absorption and ‘double pass’ sound insulation of 50dB).

SAS 150 used on this project offers a secure, easy to maintain ceiling with convenient, hinge down access to the ceiling void whilst meeting the rigorous demands of office acoustics.

We also supplied SAS200 for the board room with a custom perforation pattern.
SAS200 is one of the most adaptable metal ceiling systems available from SAS International, ideal for bespoke applications. It is a concealed, hook-on suspended metal ceiling system ideal for ambitious design challenges. Both functional and aesthetically pleasing in design, the systems incorporate sound absorbing pads to provide outstanding acoustic control.
