As is often the case in worship facilities, the extreme height and angles of the 3,420 square-foot Austin Chinese Church in Austin, Texas, created less than desirable sound quality for congregants. The ceiling panel solution for this project had to not only address these acoustical problems, but it also needed to reflect the design team’s goals of creating a welcoming environment and account for the extreme variations in temperature and humidity that is typical for the region.
After weighing these factors, Sound Seal’s WoodTrends WoodGrill panels were selected to address the project’s acoustic and aesthetic requirements. Additionally, the birch veneer finish of the panel ensured longevity, providing the Austin Chinese Church with a solution that was engineered to their specifications and designed to withstand multiple years of use.
