Catholic Primary School Sydney
Warm atmosphere thanks to wood
Lignotrend goes overseas! The 1970s building in Sydney, converted into a primary school, is a typical example of the béton brut architectural style. The use of wood in floors, wall coverings, ceilings and furniture is the basis for the warm and inviting atmosphere that prevails in the building today. Colour has been avoided as far as possible, so that wood in its natural form can provide a peaceful background for learning.
Configuration overview
Components used
LIGNO® Acoustic light | Ceiling cladding
Product code: LIGNO® Acoustic light 3S_33_a70g_625-12-4_WTE_gb_b0Wood type
Various wood species are available for the visible layer. For quality reasons, individual wood species cannot be configured for all profiles; for technical reasons, surface treatments are excluded for some wood species.
Wood type
_WTE Silver fir, economy
Profile
The visible layer is profiled with joints. The code for profiling indicates in millimetres: Element width, strip width (rounded, from/to if applicable) and joint width (rounded) as well as a letter identification for variants, e.g. with chamfered strip edges or with additional height gradation.
Note: Some profiles indirectly cause exclusions for other configuration options.
Profile
_625-12-4 Slat profile
Structure
The face is subjected to a brushing _gb as standard, which produces a stronger or weaker structure depending on the type of wood and makes the surface less sensitive to scratches. Alternatively, a smooth sanding _gs can be carried out, or on request a bandsaw cut _grimitated.
Structure
_gb Brushed
Treatment
Depending on the type of wood, the optional application of a surface treatment is possible ex works. Individual colour finishes are always sampled for coordination. For elements in individual lengths, colour treatment is limited to max. 5 m length.
Treatment
