Lahnau Akustik built the first and only seamless cooling ceiling made of expanded glass in the United Arab Emirates
(PresseBox) - The Louvre Abu Dhabi was officially opened in November 2017. Abu Dhabi, also the capital of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates, is implementing one of the most important of several planned museum projects with the Louvre Abu Dhabi. With exhibits dating from antiquity to the 21st century, the Emirate has created a cultural monument of superlatives with the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
The construction of the museum is remarkable. The architectural studio of Ateliers Jean Nouvel from Paris was given the task of combining modern architecture with the tradition of the Arabian building style and managed to do so outstandingly. More than 50 buildings with flat roofs, some characterised by narrow, intermediary paths and many water basins, are covered by a flat, translucent metal dome with a diameter of more than 180 meters.
13,400 m
Temperatures in Abu Dhabi regularly soar above 50
The complex ceiling construction combines state-of-the-art technology (sound absorption & cooling) with timeless aesthetics. In the four entrance areas, modern cooling systems were installed to be invisible using this special ceiling system. In total, approximately 1,400 m
Lahnau Akustik GmbH from Germany was assigned the contract for the comprehensive technical support including design and calculation of the cooling ceilings and on-site training. Lahnau?s local distribution partners were Intex Finishes DMCC, their partner for air conditioning was RiLO Systemtechnik GmbH & Co. KG. The on-site construction was ultimately carried out collaboratively by an international project team involving companies from a wide variety of countries and cultures. It took around 10 years from the beginning of the planning to the opening of the building.
Lahnau was chosen due to the premium appearance and the quality of the seamless expanded glass ceilings
Ultimately, Lahnau Akustik GmbH was contracted due to the premium appearance and quality of their ?Mikropor? ceiling system and the fact that state-of-the-art technology and comfort could be invisibly integrated into one system. This has eliminated a large number of competitors in advance. The refined porosity and the homogeneous, finely structured surface of the plaster won over the architectural studio and the clients alike. The ?Mikropor? acoustic ceilings contain a large proportion of expanded glass. Lahnau Akustik relies on its long-time partner, Dennert Poraver GmbH, which produces the raw material for the expanded glass ceiling panels. Due to the purely mineral Poraver expanded glass granules, the panels are very lightweight and resistant to temperature and moisture. Also, the process and treatment are very simple and require no special tools. Non-organically bonded, the ?Mikropor? acoustic panels meet the requirements of building material class A2 (non-combustible). Furthermore, the Poraver expanded glass granules are also used as an additive in the surface coating. In addition to the sound dampening properties and the structure, they are also responsible for the simple processing of the acoustic plaster.
