Great aesthetics, acoustics and ventilation

See the five different designs, that each creates a unique uniform look when placed across an entire ceiling.

Unity from Knauf DANOLINE is a series of demountable ceiling solutions that unite aesthetics and functionality. The common principle behind our Unity ceilings is actually quite simple, but the effects and possibilities are many.

Perforated gypsum boards (gypsum tiles) are the base of all our Unity products. The perforations give the board superior acoustic function and give it its characteristic look as well. The gypsum boards are then placed against each other on ceilings and walls to create a seamless look and great acoustics. Simple. Effective. Pure.

Unity ceilings come in a variety of different designs to accommodate any desired look for a room. Common to all designs is that the perforations go all the way to the edges of every tile to create a uniform and seamless look.

On top of the aesthetic and acoustic features, Unity ceilings also focus on recyclability. Gypsum which makes up the majority of every tile can be recycled over and over – and every new Unity tile is made of up to 30% recycled gypsum.

Superior acoustics

The robust nature of the gypsum material allows the acoustic ceiling to maintain its aesthetic and functional quality throughout the lifetime of the building. The acoustic tiles can be repainted without impact on the sound absorption of the tiles.

Concealed ventilation

The entire ceiling surface functions as one large ventilation vent where fresh air smoothly can flow into the room through the perforation holes. No need for air inlets in the ceiling or crossing ducts at the back of the ceiling. This gives you a potential saving of up to 50 cm. ceiling height in comparison to ceilings with air inlets.

Unique Danish design

With our Unity ceiling solutions, we’ve pushed the limits for functional and aesthetic possibilities. We’ve continued the perforation in classical acoustic gypsum boards all the way to the edges – creating a contemporary, monolithic, seamless design.

A recyclable material

The acoustical tiles are all primarily made of gypsum. A material that can be recycled over and over. We are very conscious of the environment and can assure you that every ceiling tile is made of up to 30% recycled gypsum and covered in recycled paper.
