When designing an interior space, aesthetics and functionality go hand in hand. One essential yet sometimes underestimated aspect of interior design is acoustics. Many designers prioritise visual appeal, sometimes placing less emphasis on sound management, often because acoustic treatments have traditionally been bulky, expensive, or visually intrusive.
2025 was another successful year for SUPAWOOD, with projects across residential, education, aged care, commercial and community spaces — alongside the launch of TerraTough, our new mineral oxide board. Discover how innovative linings, acoustic performance and material durability shaped some of Australia’s most inspiring interiors.
Reverberation control is essential to creating comfortable, functional interiors. Poor control blurs speech and increases stress, while well-managed acoustics enhance clarity, warmth, and purpose. From classrooms to theatres and healthcare spaces, this guide explains how architects and designers can achieve balance with tailored solutions for superior interior performance.
Grounded in conventional measures of strength, durability and aesthetic cohesion, integrity used to be a more straightforward concept. Now, its meaning runs much deeper. A building’s true integrity is increasingly defined by the invisible, yet equally powerful, realm of sustainable architecture – the ethical DNA of its supply chain, the resilience and transparency of its material journeys and its verifiable impact on the environment. For architects, designers and specifiers, successfully navigating this intricate network is now the very measure of their work. The hidden risks it entails, however, make this landscape particularly challenging.

At SUPAWOOD, sustainability isn’t just a passing trend—it’s a responsibility we take seriously. That’s one of the main reasons we developed TerraTough, our next-generation Mineral Oxide Board. This product meets the growing demand for high-performance cladding solutions that are as environmentally responsible as they are durable and aesthetically appealing.
