UNITY - THE COMPLETE CEILING

2 Knauf Danoline Unity

DESIGN MEETS FUNCTIONALITY

There’s something reassuringly solid and monolithic about ceilings. In its initial state, the ceiling surface is unbroken. Uniform. Unitary.

But as functions are added to the ceiling, that calmness is disturbed. The uniformity is interrupted. The surface is broken.

Our Unity perforations seek to return the ceiling surface to its calm, uninterrupted state. But also maintain the versatility of a modern ceiling structure.

Unity is driven by the desire to create a consistent ceiling sur-face. A single surface that sets a new standard in both design and functionality.

The Unity series includes the most essential ceiling designs: Unity 9 Unity 3 Unity 8|15|20 and Unity 4

Each perforation design is available for a range of products. Each with different edge designs, expressions, application and functionality.

Unity is available for visible grid systems, too. It’s all part of our philosophy of creating solutions, not limitations. Of giving you maximum room for expression.

THE CONCEPT OF UNITY


Knauf Danoline Unity 3

Gypsum is an infinite natural resource, continually replenished by natural processes.

GYPSUM – also known as the ‘miracle mineral’ – has been an indispensable material for artists, architects and builders since the dawn of time.

Gypsum formation begins with a chemical reaction which occurs when sulphurous particles from volcanic emissions

enter the ocean. It occurs as rock, quartz, or in its purest form, as gem-like crystal. For us, however, its true beauty lies in its limitless potential.

At Knauf Danoline, our mission is to bring this potential to life.

NEW PERFORATION

Picture text

As so many nurseries from the 70’s, Mäntykumpu nursery in Finland suffered from indoor air quality problems. Instead of repairing the old nursery, the city of Porvoo decided to demolish it and to build a brand new one on the same plot. The new nursery was finished in August 2017 and was enthusiastically received.

” I must say that all this fresh air is just fantastic. We now have the finest premises in Porvoo”, says Maria Johansson, the nursery manager.

Johansson is pleased that the nursery staff has been constantly involved in the process. The comfort of both children and staff is important.

”We could participate in things such as colour. When I first saw the concrete wall, I asked what would be on it, but I am used to it now and think it is quite beautiful”, says Maria Johansson.

”The nursery’s colour tones are close to nature and the children bring additional colour to it with their clothing and art works”, Johansson describes.

UNFETTERED SOLUTIONSThe Unity ceilings have been used in corridors and other common areas to create the acoustic comfort. They were chosen for their indoor climate properties and air-cleaning technology, Cleaneo. The ceilings create a seamless expression and a magnificent and fresh contrast to the concrete and brick walls.
