Construction News Image
SAS International has provided acoustic door and wall panelling solution to Dublin's new landmark arena.

The firm supplied over 500 specification grade doors, as well as an acoustic wall panelling solution, to the recently renovated O2 Arena scheme.

Designed by HOK Architects, the O2 Arena has seen the legendary Point Theatre completely renovated with two new storeys added and capacity increased to over 14,000.

The SAS door solution consisted of 304 walnut veneered and 217 fully finished painted, and saw SAS doors and hardwood door frames specified throughout the landmark arena's five levels.

A variety of single and double bespoke doors, including differing vision panel requirements, were installed throughout the building with fire ratings of up to 60 minutes (FD60).

To meet the acoustic requirements demanded in a large music arena, the doors were fitted with acoustic seals and automated threshold strips, while the door frames were installed with acoustic seals.

The doors were manufactured at SAS International's dedicated 40,000 square foot door facility in Oldbury, West Midlands, to ensure that the demanding specification and minimal lead times were met.

In addition to the doors, SAS also provided acoustic wall panelling within the main auditorium as well as the main lobby areas.

As part of SAS International's environmental commitment, all wood-based products are made from timber which is supplied from sources that comply with either the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) chain of custody, the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC) or any other source that complies with the FSC standard for Non FSC-Certified Controlled wood.
