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, uninter-rupted state. But also maintain the versatility of a modern ceiling structure.
Unity is driven by the desire to create a consistent ceiling surface. A single surface that sets a new standard in both design and functionality.
The Unity family includes three different designs: Unity 3, Unity 6 and Unity 8|15|20. 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 philoso-phy of creating solutions, not limitations. Of giving you maximum room for expression.
THE CONCEPT OF 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 sul-phurous 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.
MAKE ROOM FOR THE MIRACLE MINERAL

UNITY 33.5x3.5 mm square perforations
Unity 3’s square, pixel-like perforation gives it a hi-tech appearance. So it’s ideal for rooms with hard, refined materials, to accentuate the straight lines and solidity of the structure.
Unity 3 is available on three different products as standard, to meet different demands for design and functionality.

The classic look of Unity 6 creates a soft surface that echoes the underlying malleability of gypsum. It’s perfect for rooms with cast concrete walls and cast floors to support the overall three-dimensional expression. Unity 6 is available on two different products as standard, to meet different demands for design and functionality.

Unity 8 |15|20Round perforations with three different diameters: Ø8 mm, Ø15 mm and Ø20 mm.
The retro feel of Unity 8|15|20 symbolises movement. It takes its inspiration from the meeting of water and air – air bubbles. Perfect for rooms that use warm materials like wood, and with organic shapes that suggest the slow, steady movement of lines through the space. Unity 8|15|20 is available on three different products as standard, to meet different demands for design and functionality.

Picture text
The House of Music in Aalborg, Denmark, is the new cultural centre for the city and the northern Jutland region. Inaugurated in the spring of 2014, this impressive piece of architecture has been designed by the world-famous Austrian Coop Himmelb(l)au architects. The building is part of a large master plan for the renovation of the waterfront area in Aalborg, overlooking the fjord.
At the heart of the House of Music are the foyer and the main 1300-seat concert hall. Surrounding the hall are smaller music halls, rehearsal and teaching rooms, housing students from the nearby Aalborg University, Music School and the Aalborg Philharmonics.
Given the musical intent of the building, as well as designing an elegant and functional space, the architects’ priority was to ensure exceptional acoustics. Working with the leading New York-based acoustic consultants Artec Consultants, much time and effort was therefore focused on creating the right acoustic environment. Not only for the main concert hall, but also for the surrounding rooms.
For the rehearsal spaces, teaching rooms and other functional spaces, Knauf Danoline worked closely with Coop Himmelb(l)au to develop an acoustically sensitive ceiling solution. The result is an acoustic ceiling that combines neutral room acoustics and optimised reverberation time, with the right level of sound absorption and sound reflection. This in turn enables the artists and their teachers to hear the music correctly.
According to the architects, Contur Unity 6 ceilings were selected due to their sound absorption properties and their low installation depth. The installation depth is critically important for room acoustics as it means the ceiling height is only marginally reduced. In addition, the fact that the perforations extend right to the edge of the tiles, and the design conceals the suspension grid of the ceiling system, ensures a clean, uniform surface.
The success of our cooperation with Coop Himmelb(l)au in addressing the acoustic challenges of this project is the inspiration behind our Unity concept. By extending the perforations all the way to the edge of the ceiling, Unity successfully delivers the dual priorities of higher sound absorption and unified ceiling expression.

Creating the right sound means using the right amount of acoustic materials and placing them correctly. Here the
unperforated tiles are used in some parts of the room to reflect the sound.
