Lightweight MAXI BEAM with SUPACOUSTIC panels above address noise reverberation in workplace fitout

MAXI BEAM fit hand in glove with state-of-the-art green corporate fit out.

MAXI BEAM pre-finished light weight beams have been extensively used throughout the Sunsuper corporate fit out in a 5 Star Green Star Office Design v2 rated building in Brisbane’s premier office park.

The design commitment for the entire building was to create state-of-the-art green credentials in green design rating and energy efficiency while demonstrating foresight and environmental responsibility. MAXI BEAM met the requirements for the designer’s criteria of environmental sustainability as the honeycomb core, which is 80% of the beam thickness, is made from post consumer recycled paper waste.

The beams have been used in several areas of the corporate offices including reception, lounge and the staff cafeteria, creating a dramatic directional effect while also providing concealed access to utilities. The designer has selected different finishes to enhance the overall decor used in each of these areas – both contemporary SUPACOLOUR solid colour and the warmth of SUPAVENEER natural timber veneers. Additionally, SUPACOUSTIC acoustic ceiling panels were installed immediately above the beams, which met the desired acoustic requirements as well as hiding the ceiling space above the beams.

MAXI BEAM’s light weight proved the ideal solution for giving the illusion of heavy decorative beams without the hassle of having to work with cumbersome materials. The choice of pre-finished MAXI BEAM ensured no warping as could be experienced with solid timber beams. As MAXI BEAM is prefinished onsite installation was simple and economic.
