Achieving a Clean Seamless Look
One of the key challenges was achieving a clean, seamless plasterboard ceiling with battens attached directly through the plaster, avoiding the use of visible tracks. This was addressed by using Click-on Screen back mount clips, ensuring that the battens were seamlessly integrated across the ceiling and bulkhead with a strong, heavy-duty connection.
Simplified Design Without Compromise
To achieve the desired sculptural impact with the curved aluminium elements while maintaining cost-effectiveness, we worked with Design Inc. to rationalise the radius, resulting in a single radius of 600mm for every bend. This allowed us to avoid the fabrication process, which would have caused inconsistencies in the anodised finish.
Avoiding an Inconsistent Anodised Finish
Fabricated aluminium anodises differently compared to extruded aluminium, making it challenging to match the finish across straight and curved sections – see image. By rolling the extrusion, we ensured a consistent anodised finish, which was crucial for the project’s visual integrity.
