Many Knauf products were used for the interior, including facing panels and floor and ceiling systems for unique drylining constructions. Knauf W623 furring is used in the conference hall, double lining with Knauf GKB 15 mm and a modified Knauf D116 ceiling with suspended acoustic absorbers. In the cafe, an innovative, triple layer ceiling was constructed, comprising a layer of Fireboard panels, a second layer of Silentboard and Diamant panels and a third layer of Cleaneo panels.
