Sontext have recently supplied acoustic panels for the magnificent Maraya Concert Hall, Saudi Arabia, in the north-western province of Al-Ula. The building has been described as a “site-specific landmark” of true “land-art architecture” Its extraordinary facade was unveiled at a special ceremony organized by the Royal Commission for Al-Ula during the second season of the Winter at Tantora festival.

Sontext’s Regional Manager, Mr Khaldoun Gerges, worked with mmg M.E. (Mac Mena Group) and installation company Dynamic Motion from Riyadh on the project. Sontext Acoustic Panels were chosen because of their quality of finish and acoustic performance, together with the quick turnaround and affordable pricing provided by Sontext.

Sontext supplied Murano Acoustic Wood Panels and Sonofonic Acoustic Ceiling Panels to create excellent acoustics for this performing space. For further details please contact Sontext. See contact details below.

To create the perfect atmosphere for high quality performances, the acoustic treatment of ceilings is also critical. To this end Sonofonic Acoustic ceilings were used because of the increased low frequency absorption required. Sonofonic Acoustic panel are available in various thicknesses from 15mm to 200mm thick. The thickness chosen for the Maraya Concert Hall was 25mm thick as it provided the level of acoustic treatment and lightweight for the ceiling structure. the colour chosen was Matt Black to fit in with the design requirements.
