For Forman Building Systems, who worked with the architect on the selection of the ceiling systems, this meant supplying a range of products that was clean, slick, professional looking and within the budget allocation.John Kitchen, market manager for Forman Building Systems, says, "Our main challenge was to achieve the acoustic requirements and integrate the lighting, air diffusers and acoustic sliding door tracks into the metal and perforated plasterboard ceilings to maintain the architect's high standard of aesthetic finish." The company supplied two different Armstrong exposed suspended ceiling systems Armstrong's blue-tongue aluminium top-hat grid was used with MetalWorks 1200 x 300 micro-perforated steel acoustic ceiling tiles, and Armstrong Peakform steel exposed grid was used with Armstrong RH99 Ultima regular edge acoustic ceiling tiles. Boral Echostop® perforated plasterboard was installed onto a Rondo Key-Lock plasterboard grid adjacent to both the MetalWorks ceiling and Ultima ceiling to provide contrasting ceiling finishes. Interior view of the office conference room Installation and integration of the different ceiling types required a high level of accuracy, and liaison with mechanical engineers Norman Disney & Young by ceiling installers Forman Commercial Interiors ensured function and aesthetics weren't compromised, says site manager Robin McKeown.FORMAN BUILDING SYSTEMS Interior view of the office conference room PO Box 12349, Penrose, AucklandPhone 0800 454 000 Fax (09) 276 4141www.forman.co.nz john.kitchen@forman.co.nz Story by: Trendsideas 31 Aug, 2010 Office Trendsideas Home kitchen bathroom commercial design Latest Post Artistic vibe 03 Nov, 2024 Serene air 03 Nov, 2024 Grown from the land 03 Nov, 2024 We know the Specialists Related Book More Books > NZ2612 NZ2612 Read More Similar Stories
