Knauf Ceiling Solutions is expanding its portfolio of existing products with the addition of the snow-white ADAGIO mineral ceiling. The entire series includes four lines in various shapes and sizes that will successfully meet the different acoustic needs of different types of rooms. ADAGIO's white is timeless and versatile due to its ability to impart a feeling of brightness, purity and spaciousness, blending perfectly with a variety of design styles - from classic to modern. The series has also been awarded the Cradle to Cradle environmental certification.

The bright white mineral ADAGIO ceilings are distinguished by their extremely smooth surface, which provides a unique aesthetic in interiors and spaces where natural light plays a major role.

The new products, which have just been introduced to the Polish market, are characterized by unique acoustic properties. Combined with excellent technical parameters, high durability, quick installation and compliance with ecological standards, they are Knauf Ceiling Solutions' answer to the needs of architects and investors looking for the highest quality products in the ceiling industry. - Wojciech Krzyzowski of Knauf Ceiling Solutionssaid .

With its pure white surface and low gloss level, ADAGIO gives the ceiling a very modern and uniform look. Its high light reflectance of 88%, meanwhile, reduces the need for artificial lighting, which translates into lower electricity bills, less visual fatigue, and thus improved comfort and well-being for users.

Elegance for years

ADAGIO series products are also distinguished by their low air permeability, even down to the PM1 level (no filtering effect), which promotes the maintenance of the ceiling's bright appearance over the years. The unchanged appearance is also ensured by the cleanable, scratch-resistant, reinforced surface of the panels. These features, combined with simple installation and easy maintenance, guarantee long-term durability and reliability. The new panels are also distinguished by a wide range of edge finishes, which allows architects to design a ceiling in both a visible substructure option and a monolithic one in which the substructure grid is invisible. In addition, fully painted edges reduce the risk of damage during transportation and installation.

Customized acoustics

The ADAGIO series is not only a slab with an elegant appearance, but also a response to architects' needs for adequate acoustics in interiors. ADAGIO comprises four product lines that differ in their acoustic properties. ADAGIO Acoustic+ features an excellent balance between sound absorption and sound insulation (properties: 0.65 αw and 39 dB), making it ideal for conference rooms, waiting rooms and corridors, among others. ADAGIO Alpha+, on the other hand, is a good choice for those spaces where there is a need for noise reduction. For this product offers the highest sound absorption value αw = 1.00, while ADAGIO dB+ provides excellent sound isolation (from 41 dB to 43 dB), which promotes the privacy of conversations between neighboring rooms. For smaller rooms, on the other hand, ADAGIO HD+, which provides noise reduction and offers ceiling tiles in 19 mm, 30 mm and 35 mm thicknesses, will work well.

Certification in accordance with international standards

The entire ADAGIO product line has been awarded internationally recognized environmental certifications, including Class A+ for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, Indoor Air Comfort Gold and Finnish M1. These distinctions are confirmation that ADAGIO has a positive impact on indoor air quality. In addition, their production is based on recycled materials - up to 59.6% in the case of ADAGIO Alpha+. It is for this reason, among others, that ADAGIO ceilings have been awarded the Cradle to Cradle bronze certificate and the German "Blue Angel".
