Riding a wave with the architectural S-line tile
Architect in charge at Ashton Sixth Form College made full use of Ecophon's innovative architectural ceiling tiles.
The new wing of the Crumlin Children's Hospital has been built by Bowen Construction with Dublin based Robinson Keefe Devane (RKD Architects) chosen as the lead design consultant on the project.
Specialist sub-contractor, Kehoe Acoustics, installed close to 3000 square metres of the Meditec E in units such as EEG, Dermatology and a Hepatitis C clinic, as well as spanning corridors with the plank-style Focus XL system.
The Project Architect, Michael Lahiffe, comments: "I feel that instead of using a standard 'six by six' in areas like corridors it looks a far neater job to use the plank-type ceiling.
The units also fitted in very well with the main atrium, giving a very attractive look all the way round.
"I was persuaded to use the Ecophon systems because of their appearance and performance characteristics.
The Crumlin Children's Hospital project was so successful that I have specified them again for two other projects: a midwifery unit and a Carmelite college"> Ecophon's Meditec ceiling panels offer excellent aseptic performance for sensitive environments such as hospitals, health centres, pharmaceutical plants and clean rooms.
The panels are also hard wearing and can withstand repeated washing where necessary. Request a free brochure from Ecophon ...
