Perth Arena, WA

Perth Arena will be a jewel in the crown of the city’s premier entertainment precinct, driving the revitalization of the area and re-establishing a connection between the city’s commercial and entertainment hubs. This iconic building will provide a world class facility attracting national and international sporting and entertainment events to Perth.

The state of the art stadium has a very flexible design, allowing for crowds of up to 12,000 in concert mode and up to 14,500 in tennis mode. Alternatively, the arena can be closed down for an intimate concert with 3,000 people. The stadium will accommodate shows with a centre stage or end stage, and performances in the round such as motorcross, equestrian, and ice shows.

Perth Arena will host the Hopman Cup, and features an operable roof to allow natural light to flood the centre court. In addition to the main arena the scheme will accommodate function spaces and corporate hospitality suites. 

To prevent condensation forming within the frame, a winning combination of ProctorWrap Air Tight (AT) breathable membrane and Kingspan’s Kooltherm K12 rigid phenolic insulation has been used.

Kingspan’s Kooltherm K12 thermal insulation has been installed as one continuous layer within the wall cavity to minimise thermal bridging, helping to keep the buildings internal temperature at a constant, maximising the thermal efficiency and occupants comfort.

ProctorWrap AT is a triple layer polypropylene textile developed primarily as a breather membrane for use in timber and steel frame wall construction behind rainscreen claddings. The high water vapour permeability of ProctorWrap AT was specified because, unlike typical perforated foil products, it can provide an air and moisture tight layer, at the same time as allowing for over 25 times the amount of water vapour to pass through the material.
