Australian Made Acoustic Wall & Ceiling Panels
Durra Panel is a naturally effective material for acoustic treatment.
Made from compressed wheat straw, Durra Panel is a fully certified wall and ceiling system that is particularly effective at dampening the low-frequency sound associated with aircraft, heavy industry and performing spaces. It can be finished in a variety of ways to suit specific acoustic needs, with both sound absorption and sound transmission loss addressed.
Whether you’re designing a live performance venue, commercial space, or temporary installation, Durra Panel provides a high-performance, sustainable solution that supports your acoustic goals, design vision and compliance needs without the overbuild.
Each panel is formed using heat and pressure alone. A natural polymer in the straw fibre acts as its own binding agent, no chemical resins, no synthetic glues, no toxic binders. The result is a solid, durable panel core lined with recycled Kraft paper, ready for wall and ceiling applications across commercial, industrial, and residential projects.
ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN SPACES
Durra Panel combines structural and acoustic performance with simplified installation, verified testing data, and sustainable credentials.
Fewer material layers and fewer trades, the Durra Panel Structural Ceiling System streamlines the build without compromising sound performance.
The Durra Panel Structural Ceiling System is tested in NATA-certified laboratories, giving acoustic engineers, architects and specifiers the verified performance data needed for compliant design.
Durra Panel is made from reclaimed wheat straw sourced from local farmers, is 100% recyclable and biodegradable, and stores 8.5kg of carbon per m² — giving it a GWP of -19kg CO₂e/m².
Effective across complex acoustic profiles including aircraft, crowds, low-frequency industrial sound and performing spaces.
Rw values, NRC ratings, fire data and full spec sheets are available.
Durra Panel is featured in some of Australia’s most acoustically demanding locations, providing proven noise control against rain, crowds, aircraft, and more.
Durra panel vs Standard Building Materials
High-Performance Acoustics for Every Environment
Trusted at Melbourne Airport and transport hubs across Australia, Durra Panel controls aircraft noise, echo and crowd reverb across vast concourses — without heavy layered systems. Carbon negative, fire rated, and built for the scale of major transport infrastructure.
From Perth Arena to Margaret Court Arena, Durra Panel has lined the walls and ceilings of Australia's most iconic sports venues. Over 20,000 m² installed at the Sydney Olympics, then composted in full after the Games.
Performing arts spaces demand precision acoustic control without chemical treatments. Durra Panel delivers broad-spectrum sound absorption — fully Red List compliant, zero VOC, and carbon negative. Installed in the ICC Sydney theatre and venues across the country.
Used in Australia's film and TV industry for over 40 years — including Docklands Central City Studios. Durra Panel provides sound absorption and isolation in a single product. Modular acoustic studio kits available for rapid installation and easy disassembly.
Open plan workspaces require acoustic control without compromising air quality or sustainability credentials. Durra Panel is independently certified and contributes directly to Green Star, NABERS, and WELL ratings.
Durra Panel is the go-to specification for school gymnasiums, multipurpose halls, and performing arts centres — delivering acoustic performance, impact resistance, and sustainability. Installed at Sacred Heart College, Woodleigh School, and Iona College.
Durra Panel's trafficable ceiling systems are trusted in industrial facilities worldwide. FM Approved Class 1 fire resistant, high impact strength, and built for long-term reliability where service access is required without disrupting operations below.

Trusted in Australia’s Most Demanding Acoustic Environments
PERFORMING ARTS
Luna Park Sydney
Heavyweight sound control
At Sydney’s Luna Park Big Top, rock concerts reaching 120dB required complete noise containment to stop break-out into nearby apartments. The Durra Panel Structural Ceiling System created a lightweight ceiling following the tent’s unique shape, delivering strong internal acoustics while keeping sound within the venue. Post-installation testing confirmed performance equivalent to a heavy concrete slab.
major stadium
Perth Arena
Stadium-grade acoustic control
The visually striking Perth Arena demanded acoustic performance as bold as its architecture. Durra Panel lines the ceiling and walls throughout, with uniquely shaped modules craned into position using the Durra Lifting Frame. Proven against crowd noise, rain noise and break-out, its broad-spectrum attenuation delivers consistent, reliable acoustic control across one of Australia’s premier venues.

Low-frequency attenuation
Durra Panel has delivered durable, sustainable acoustic solutions across Melbourne Airport’s terminals, lounges and back-of-house areas over more than 20 years. Particularly effective at dampening low-frequency sound from aircraft and heavy industry, its broad-spectrum attenuation remains the trusted, long-term choice for major transport infrastructure projects across Australia.
