Knauf AMF brings Alpha Black magic to Odeon
The Metro Centre in Gateshead is Europe’s largest shopping centre and now offers visitors additional entertainment in the form of a brand new 12-screen Odeon cinema complex, which includes a 3D screen, VIP area and the first IMAX screen in the region. Thermatex Alpha Black ceiling tiles from Knauf AMF were specified throughout the auditoriums and their reception areas.
Cinemas are traditionally fitted out with darker ceilings to create atmosphere, but good room acoustics are also vital for visitor enjoyment. Knauf AMF’s Thermatex Alpha tiles provide excellent sound absorption in a range of colours, including black, which fulfilled all the requirements for the new Odeon.
