Sontext Wood Panels in Function Room

Murano Acoustic Wood Panels in Function Room – Narrabeen, NSW

Sontext supplied Murano Acoustic Wood Panels to a beautifully designed function room at an RSL Retirement Village in Narrabeen, Sydney. Designed by Hummel Architects (Dee Why) and built by Zadro Constructions, the brief called for both visual appeal and better acoustics.

The panels installed were Murano SL56 Wood Veneer Ceiling Panels, chosen for their ability to reduce echo in a busy dining or meeting area without compromising on appearance. Installed in 4m x 4m bays using a custom-made suspension system, these acoustic panels blend seamlessly into the ceiling. Many users have commented they didn’t even realise the ceiling was acoustically treated—it just sounds better.

In function or dining rooms, excessive reverberation can make conversation difficult, especially for older residents. By integrating decorative acoustic panels like the Murano range, designers can maintain a warm timber finish while addressing the acoustic challenges common in larger communal spaces.
