 British Gypsum’s Gyptone acoustic ceiling boards have provided a major feature in a chapel renovation being submitted for a USAF international design award.
The USAF 100th Air Refuelling Wing Chapel, a focal point of the RAF Mildenhall air base in Suffolk, has undergone a full interior renovation to include the new eye-catching Gyptone ceiling, which not only provides a much improved interior acoustic environment, but gives a modern, clean and bright appearance to welcome users.
The 1200 X 2400mm Gyptone QUATTRO 41 boards feature a geometric pattern of full depth perforations which, combined with a special acoustic tissue backing, provide a very high level of sound absorption, satisfying Building Regulations Part E, Class C absorber standards. 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.
