Abbotsleigh Junior Library, located in Wahroonga, Australia, is a stunning example of modern library design. The library features a unique and innovative design element - Translucent Barrisol Biosource stretched ceilings. The ceilings are not only visually striking, but they also provide excellent acoustics and help to reduce noise levels, creating a peaceful reading environment for visitors.
The use of Translucent Barrisol Biosource stretched ceilings in the Abbotsleigh Junior Library is an excellent example of sustainable design. The ceilings are made from a unique, eco-friendly material that is derived from plant-based sources, making them a more sustainable choice than traditional ceiling materials. The material used in the ceilings is also fully recyclable, ensuring that it can be repurposed at the end of its life cycle.

Developed in France, Barrisol is the world’s leading stretch ceiling system.
A Barrisol® stretch ceiling is a non flammable sheet made of vinyl which is stretched under the effect of heat on the periphery of the walls thanks to a specific fixing system (patented).
Thanks to the wide range of Barrisol® rails used for the fixing, all types of realizations are possible, including 3D and organic forms.
All Barrisol® products are classified A+ (VOC). Barrisol® products contribute to the respect of the environment. They can contain up to 80% of recycled materials, they are reusable and are 100% recyclable.
Every Barrisol stretch sheet is manufactured specifically for its own unique installation. Because of its elastic properties, the Barrisol fabric has a ‘memory’, allowing it to be removed numerous times without impacting the sheet’s ability to find its original form.
