Murano Acoustic Wood Slats by Sontext
Murano Acoustic Wood Slats deliver exceptional sound absorption and a high-end architectural finish using real timber battens. These panels are ideal for educational buildings, restaurants, foyers, and other commercial spaces where both aesthetics and performance are essential. Made to order, the slats can be fixed to acoustic substrates with a range of timber species, spacing patterns, and finishes available.
Project Spotlight: Melbourne Grammar School Dining Room
Peter Elliott Architects worked closely with Acoustic Consulting Australia to design a decorative yet acoustically effective wall and ceiling solution for the school’s dining facility. Sontext was approached to develop a product that met the school’s visual design goals and acoustic needs, targeting a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.95.
The design called for the use of Tasmanian Oak slats in a light lime-wash finish. Murano Acoustic Wood Slat Panels were engineered using 19x40mm Tasmanian Oak battens mounted to a fire-rated, fabric-covered MDF substrate. Behind the panels, 25mm thick acoustic insulation was installed to achieve the desired sound control. The outcome was a functional, elegant dining room with significantly reduced background noise.
