Perth's Wesley College implemented an extensive refurbishment of their classrooms and facilities. The middle school buildings were fully upgraded to provide students and faculty with modern, clean, durable and interchangeable classroom environments.

To maximise natural lighting and air circulation, Wesley College’s facility management team was looking for a clean, bright, acoustical ceiling tile that was easy to maintain, and provided quick access to services.

Knauf's acoustical ceiling system – MARS™ ClimaPlus™ was the product of choice for Wesley College.

The clean lines, monolithic texture and high light reflectivity combined with excellent noise reduction made it well-suited for the classroom environment. This was further enhanced by the product’s durability, scratch-resistant, cleanable surface, and the 30-year lifetime system warranty.

Approximately 1200m² of MARS™ ClimaPlus™ 1200 x 600 x 19mm SLT panels were installed into the Knauf DONN™ Brand DX suspension system in the middle school classrooms.

"The MARS™ ClimaPlus™ product has provided the acoustical properties, visual impact and light reflection we were looking for to establish a clean, calm and bright learning environment for our students. The panels are easy to replace and allow easy access to services,” said Paul Sutton, Facilities Manager, Wesley College.
