Screenwood ceiling panels were installed along the vast entryway corridor including the reception and waiting room.

Combined with natural light and a fresh colour pallet, the space, designed by Conrad Gargett Architects, is inviting and practical. Supplied in Western Red Cedar with a tinted coating, the Screenwood linear timber modules enhance the area while providing acoustic amenity for the patients and staff.

Offering a complete solution, Screenwood is PEFC certified, acoustically rated, fire and VOC tested and made in Australia. Supplied in a range of timber species, profiles and coatings, Screenwood is ideal for any project from commercial and educational to health and hospitality fitouts.
