Knauf AMF brings sonic precision to new leisure centre

Knauf AMF Ceilings has supplied precision ceiling solutions to the new Knowsley Sports Park in Merseyside as part of a £16.1m project. Designed by Broadway Malyan, the new 6,600m² complex will provide a range of leisure and cultural facilities for the local community. Architect Ivor Phillips commented on their choice of ceiling specification: “We chose Knauf AMF because they produced a wide range of products which suited the range of environments, design aesthetics and acoustic performance requirements we wanted to achieve.”

This included the installation of 20 Knauf AMF Thermatex Sonic Sky rafts to provide a stylish and effective acoustic solution within the new 120-station fitness suite and the two dance studios. Thermatex Sonic Sky rafts are designed to work with today’s modern architecture, where the trend is towards hard acoustically reflective materials such as glass, steel and concrete. There is often limited space available to create a comfortable acoustic environment. Thermatex Sonic Sky rafts offer flexible and stylish solutions in a wide range of shapes and colours. The rafts consist of a Thermatex acoustic ceiling panel in a supporting frame, and the system is designed to be easy to install with semi-concealed hangers providing an elegant floating appearance.
