A
rmourcoat’s acoustic plaster system
has been specified by UK architects
Softroom for the new $12 billion
Istanbul Airport in Turkey. The facility will
eventually fly 200 million passengers a year
when complete in 2028, making it the world’s
biggest airport.
The stunning interior design for the
Turkish Airlines lounges is the result of an
international competition won by Softroom.
The brief called for 19,000m^2 of lounges that
embody the national carrier’s new brandphilosophy of ‘flow’ within the airport
environment. The lounge design forms a
passenger journey that effortlessly weaves
the spaces, which include drop-off, check-in
and departure areas, of the lounges together.
To aid the sound quality within the lounges,
the Armourcoat Acoustic plaster system
creates a seamless ceiling finish with a class
‘A’ Noise Reduction Coefficient rating. Its
clean and smooth mineral surface adding to
the overall design.
In addition, the Armourcoat Acoustic
system was installed as large island panels
within the 55,000m^2 Duty Free area operated
by Unifree Duty Free in partnership with
Gebr Heinemann. The area takes inspiration
from the Bosphorus strait in Turkey, with
seven sections each selling brands related to
its theme including Emporio Armani, Louis
Vuitton, Christian Dior and Bulgari.
Designed to optimize the acoustics
of interior spaces, the acoustic plaster system
comprises of a special mineral woolcomposite panel that is bonded onto the
substrate and finished with a seamless
layer. It offers an elegant marble-based
plaster finish while allowing sound energy
to pass through the surface. The Armourcoat
system, which consists of 80 per cent recycled
material, has zero VOCs and achieves
class ‘0’ fire rating. The system has
also been granted the Quiet Mark Award –
the international mark of approval from
