Indoor sports facilities at the Blessed George Napier Catholic Secondary School in Banbury have had an acoustic solution from Corus Panels and Profiles installed. Due to the internal volume of the building, regulations required for it to be air tight and provide a high degree of sound reduction through the walls. The roof construction used 4500m? of the company's Colourcoat HPS 200 pre-finished steel in a three layer build-up consisting of R32/1000 roof panels, thermal insulation, plain lining panels, acoustic insulation and perforated lining panels. It was complemented by 950m? of wall cladding using Trisomet panels - a trapezoidal composite panel. Joints were sealed with tape to stop air passage through the sheets.
