The solution

 

Cachet initially sought a real timber ceiling but opted for a more lightweight, practical solution.

 

Autex Acoustics® delivered an alternative using Frontier™, Beam 100 in Queensland Walnut, featuring a realistic timber grain finish. This lightweight solution replicated the look of timber without requiring structural reinforcement, while offering quick lead times and straightforward installation. The Queensland Walnut colour perfectly complemented existing timber elements, creating a seamless and sophisticated aesthetic.

 

In addition, using real timber would have introduced another hard, reflective surface into the space, creating further acoustic challenges in an environment designed for large crowds and frequent events, where good acoustics are essential to the overall experience.
