Acoustic ceiling boards surge ahead
Growth in demand for specialist acoustic ceiling boards has continued to surge since introduction of Part E, with British Gypsum reporting 60% sales growth for its Gyptone board range.
Contractor, Graham Construction, installed and jointed the Gyptone boards to give a monolithic ceiling lining that can be decorated in the future without affecting acoustic performance, to maintain the pristine appearance of the ceiling.
The ARW Chapel renovation is being submitted in the 'Interior Design' section of the award scheme, which runs across American Air Force bases throughout Europe.
If successful, it will go forward to the USAF worldwide awards scheme.
