Aurubis

An Open, Clean and Elegant Space

Aurubis is the world’s largest copper recycler, working in every industry from chemicals, electrical engineering and electronics to renewable energy, construction and the automotive industry.

In expanding its flagship plant in Olen, Belgium, the company sought to create a new office building—an open, clean and elegant space providing a contrast with the heavy industry of its plant.

Using 1,465m² of METAL Tegular 2, Microperforated with a acoustic infill, the team took advantage of the office building’s large windows, with high-reflectance tiles making greater use of natural light levels throughout the facility.

Another advantage of this choice of system was its exceptional sound absorption. In an area where people needed space, peace and quiet to focus on their work, the ceiling solution provided great acoustic comfort to match the high levels of daylight—helping Aurubis achieve its vision of a clean, open space for greater wellbeing and productivity.
