Durability, hygiene, maintenance, sustainability, design, acoustics, lighting, functionality are just some of the many mandatory requirements, architects and construction managers have to their partners, when one of Northern Europe’s most important transportation hubs is to be expanded.
DAMPAs ceiling panels meet all the expert requirements for the implementation of the refurbishment of Terminal 2, with it hangs now DAMPA Ceilings in 80-90% of all public areas at Copenhagen Airport.
About the building:
Terminal 2 has just expanded with 12 new check-in desks, 16 new self-service check-in kiosks and 1,400 additional m2 to the passengers. DAMPA has delivered ceilings to the large extension and new building.
The project was to deliver ceilings to 1400 square meters. There was not allocated money for new floors in the existing part of the terminal, therefore it was important that the ceiling could reflect the color of the floor and make the room function as a whole. At the same time there is a low ceiling in the area, and therefore it was important to have a continuous surface without friezes to create a quiet and harmonious expression.
We have taken all the principles of our standard product DAMPA Clip-in Tile 600×600 mm, but changed the width to 1200×200 mm to accommodate the dimension of the light components in the terminal. The architect wanted a completely smooth surface, and the effect has been achieved. The solution is a sharp-edged ceiling perforated over the edge, with an inlay of white acoustic tex. The modules are easy to install and easy to disassemble. This was a requirement from the airport, one man should be able to dismantle the ceiling to get to the overhead installations.
DAMPA has delivered ceilings to Copenhagen Airport many times and accounts for approx. 80-90% of all ceilings in the passenger areas.
