“The interplay of acoustics and aesthetics shape people’s experience in a space,” says Cameron. “When these two elements are thoughtfully integrated in architectural product design, the result is a cohesive and inviting environment that supports functional needs while nurturing a sense of comfort and tranquillity.”

Proudly designed and manufactured in Australia, Screenwood’s architectural acoustic innovations include:

“A builder by trade, I founded Screenwood in 2005 after recognising the potential for a certified and prefabricated linear timber system that’s cost-effective and easy to install,” says Cameron. “We launched PANELS within the first twelve months of operation, and we’re extremely proud that it continues to inspire and empower prominent interior architects, designers, and builders across projects, both grand and intimate in scale, including the Kiama Leagues Club, the ACT Law Courts, HSBC Barangaroo, Pullman Hotels, City of Perth Library, and Hydro Tasmania.”

PANELS by Screenwood: Unique product benefits for commercial design applications

• Sound absorption excellence: Independently tested and acoustically rated to absorb sound and control reverberation, creating a more comfortable ambience for communication, productivity, and tranquillity.

• Empowering sculptural design freedom: PANELS accommodate curves and can be manipulated during installation to adhere to concave or convex surfaces. PANELS can also be mitred for a seamless vertical or horizontal corner finish.
