Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council already used Ecophon across a whole range of projects, especially to provide acoustic solutions.
In this case though, the project featured a two storey space rising up from the ground floor.
Reverberation was not a concern but aesthetic appearance was a driving factor as the council wanted to give the place a total overhaul and facelift.
The system selected by Sandwell was Ecophon's Gedina E15 600 x 600, providing a highly robust solution, very good noise attenuation as well as crisp lines.
The ceiling was installed by specialist sub-contractor Marcia Interiors from Worcester while Thomas Vale Limited was the main contractor leading the project. Request a free brochure from Ecophon ...
