THERMATEX® VariolineCeilings in metal and wood-look

Outstanding modern architecture is characterised by the drive to create living and working spaces in which people feel comfortable. This requires an environment to be constructed based on aesthetic harmony and appealing design together with consideration for comfort and privacy. When designing liveable spaces, form, texture and colour play an equal role with functionality, such as fire protection and acoustics, which are always dependent on application.

Knauf AMF presents the new product range THERMATEX® Varioline. Design and function are united in a unique way, placing architectural ceiling design possibilities in a new light.

THERMATEX® Varioline is used when the elegance of a metal ceiling or the warm look of a wood ceiling is required combined at the same time with the need to fulfil structural requirements such as fire protection, acoustics or humidity resistance.

The mineral ceiling with a metal ceiling aesthetic

The THERMATEX® Varioline metal product range achieves it surface design with a high quality acoustic fleece on which the typical perforation patterns of metal ceilings are printed with high contrast in black. This essentially maintains the performance of the mineral tile. Different perforation patterns in combination with different edge configurations provide the architect or designer with large scope for contemporary ceiling design.

THERMATEX® Varioline metal ceilings can provide excellent room acoustics and optimum sound attenuation. In addition, due to the tiles density and airflow resistance the mineral ceilings tiles remain clean over the long-term.

With THERMATEX® Varioline you choose the colour and pattern of your ceiling.
