Your open-plan office sounds like a gymnasium and the ceiling looks like a 1987 school canteen. You don't need another white tile grid. You need something that soaks up the noise, adds real texture overhead, and still passes your fire cert.
The Rapidline V Groove Ascend Core panel does all three. 600 x 600mm, 24mm thick, 100% PET construction with an NRC of 0.85 — that's genuine sound absorption, not a brochure number. Group 1 fire rated to AS 5637.1 (tested to AS ISO 9705-2003 R2016), so your building cert holder won't flag it. Ten-year warranty on the panel itself.
The Fern 420 finish sits in the Habitat palette — a soft green that brings a bit of life to a room without shouting. Works well with warm wood, cream walls, or a space where you want one calm accent overhead. Pair with the Span Ceiling Panel range if you want a layered composition.
One thing to sort before you hit checkout: hanging hardware is sold separately. Add it to the same order and you get one delivery, not two.
Add to cart and your ceiling stops being the thing everyone walks past without looking at
