Designed
by Edinburgh-based architects Sedley Place, the £8m extension to the world
famous Old Course Hotel in St Andrews features a new Kohler Waters Spa with 13
treatment rooms, a 20m indoor swimming spa pool, hydrotherapy pool, cold plunge
pool, steam room and rooftop garden with hot tub.
The Knauf
AQUAPANEL Indoor Ceiling System was the
perfect solution for the leisure centre extension, an environment in which
ceilings are exposed to large amounts of moisture, chlorine and salt.
All
components of the Knauf AQUAPANEL Indoor Ceiling System are engineered and
tested to withstand the most challenging wet conditions.
Another
product was initially specified at the outset, however the main contractor, who
was experienced in using Knauf products had recommended the use of the complete
Knauf AQUAPANEL Indoor Ceiling System which included the suspended Knauf C3
ceiling metal components and Knauf AQUAPANEL SkyLite.
Knauf
AQUAPANEL SkyLite cement boards are lightweight 8mm cement boards which are
ideal for interior ceilings in wet and humid areas. Made from water resistant
and inorganic materials, the boards prevent mildew forming and spreading. The
suspended ceiling structure features metal components coated to achieve a C3
class for corrosion resistance, providing protection against high humidity and
chemicals.
Knauf
AQUAPANEL Cement Board Indoor was also used on the walls of the Kohler Waters
Spa and, as with Knauf AQUAPANEL SkyLite, it can be easily and accurately cut
on site using a coarse bladed saw, or simply by scoring and snapping which
allows simple and efficient installation.
