Lindner's panels for Dubai Airport Hotel

01 March 2006

Lindner, a German specialist in the design, manufacture and installation of interior fit-out products, will be supplying wood laminated aluminium ceiling panel systems for Airport Hotel, which forms part of the Dubai International Airport extension project.

Over four years of intensive work, starting with supporting the architect in the project specifications and drawings, technical advice including complex structural calculations, fire resistance tests and many negotiations have resulted in success for Lindner, which has been awarded more than 21,000 square m of ceiling panel systems for hotel in the middle of the terminal.
“The Dubai International Airport, one of the biggest building projects in the Middle East at the moment, demands high-quality, design-intensive interior fit-out solutions. We are proud to demonstrate the high quality of our products and services at this impressive project. Our strategy to fulfil the specific needs of the clients with a continuous effort to develop new products gave us the edge,” says Helmut Lang, a director at Lindner.
Lindner is supplying Pure Line, a high-tech product which is a combination of a metal panel for ceiling and wall cladding with a real wood lamination comprising a luxury veneer surface from the American walnut tree.
“Pure Line satisfies the highest demands in regard to visual appearance and technical properties such as fire and earthquake resistance. These panels have all the advantages of metal ceilings, including light weight, ease of installation and demounting of the panels, and invisible fixings,” he points out.
In addition, the cladding will feature a movable aluminium grating service platform, custom-made linear wood grills and curved steel ribs.
The company, which has more than 40 years of experience in its field, has undertaken many major projects including a considerable number of international airports such as Madrid Barajas Airport, Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 London, Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok Airport, Pudong Airport Shanghai, Munich and Frankfurt airport (Germany), as well as an airport in Paris (France).
Apart from airports, Lindner has also supplied its quality products, such as suspended metal ceilings, demountable partitions and raised floors for a large number of first class projects in the Middle East, including Dubai Convention Centre, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in the UAE, and Public Institution for Social Security in Kuwait.
