Novotel Almaty: interesting design, impeccable comfort and cozy atmosphere
A modern hotel complex Novotel is under construction in Almaty, located in the city center, opposite one of the main squares of Abay, next to the congress hall and the Kok-Tobe cable car. The hotel is planning about 200 comfortable rooms, with beautiful views and leisure facilities, including a restaurant and lobby bar, spa and swimming pool. Novotel has a developed infrastructure for entertainment and business events. The building's fashionable façade is made of glass, and the edges of the front part are decorated with stone wool cladding panels, which will provide an expressive appearance of the complex.
To create the original design of the hotel building, ROCKPANEL Colors cladding panels were chosen - an innovative cladding material based on pressed basalt fiber. The surface of the slabs is treated with several layers of primer and water-based polymer paint. The material is ideal for applications where a colorfast decorative finish on external walls is required. The line includes about 100 standard colors. In addition, the board can be painted in any RAL and NCS color. The advantages of these plates are lightness, ease of cutting, installation and operation, which provides ample opportunities for the implementation of various design and architectural solutions. The panels are protected by a special Protect Plus coating, which makes them self-cleaning: dirt will simply be washed off with rainwater. The coating also improves the UV resistance, which significantly extends the life of the façade. It is important to note that the boards are fire safe material. In the event of a fire, the structure of stone wool does not change and does not form drops, that is, it does not contribute to the spread of fire.
ROCKWOOL solutions ensured unusual design, comfort and safety in the new Maqan Hotel Almaty
The new hotel is interesting for its harmonious combination of an extraordinary facade, comfort, warmth, acoustic comfort and fire safety. This balance was achieved thanks to the use of solutions made from a natural safe material - stone wool.
Maqan Hotel Almaty is a new hotel located 6 km from the center of Almaty. The boutique hotel in European style is designed for 40 rooms - from standard to deluxe rooms.
The exterior of the nine-storey building combines simplicity and laconic design with the elegance of modern design, so it easily fits into the architectural style of urban development. The hotel complex has Dope lounge bar and Qua Qua cafe, as well as outdoor summer terraces with panoramic views of the mountains and the main attractions of Almaty.
The facade of the building is made of glass and decorative panels
ROCKPANEL Chameleon, enveloping the complex around the perimeter and separating the floors from each other. ROCKPANEL Chameleon has a unique crystal finish that makes the color of the building unique and unpredictable. Depending on the angle of view and the angle of incidence of sunlight on the facade, it changes its shade. ROCKPANEL Chameleon decorative cladding panels are of natural origin. The basalt used in their production is an environmentally friendly material, at the same time as strong as stone and immune to weathering. Interesting is the possibility of bending panels directly on the building site and without pre-processing. The possible bending radius is 2.5 meters.
ROCKWOOL non-combustible stone wool solutions are used to protect the premises from external noise and create the maximum acoustic comfort required in a hotel. Due to the chaotic arrangement of fibers and the homogeneous structure of the material, the slab
ACOUSTIC BATTS will protect you from sounds from neighboring rooms and premises, as well as from noise from the street. In addition, the material is not subject to shrinkage and retains its shape and properties throughout the entire period of operation of the building.
To prevent any emergencies and to ensure reliable insulation of the building, roof slabs made of ROCKWOOL ROOF BATTS SCREED stone wool were installed. They are used as a heat-insulating layer in roofs with a protective coating made of concrete, reinforced-cement, cement-sand and other slabs. The material is distinguished by high resistance to mechanical stress, the ability to maintain its properties in a wide temperature range and a long service life.
Fire safety is a significant advantage of the selected Rockwool solutions. Fibers of stone wool can withstand temperatures up to 10000C and create a reliable barrier to the spread of fire.
An atmosphere of luxury, hospitality and comfort at the Ritz-Carlton Astana
The Ritz-Carlton Astana premium hotel complex was opened in the capital of Kazakhstan. The new 5-star hotel is located in the business center of Astana and is part of the Talan Towers multifunctional complex. The eighteen-storey hotel with an elegant design offers 157 comfortable rooms, divided into several categories, from basic to status suites overlooking the Bayterek monument. The hotel has three restaurants, a conference room, a fitness center and a SPA. The hotel pays special attention to providing high-quality soundproofing, which is especially important for a comfortable stay after a busy day.
Correct soundproofing of walls reduces noise transmission by more than 50dB, and a structure without soundproofing - by only 30dB. At the same time, the human ear is very sensitive to sound vibrations, and a change of even 10 dB is already perceived by us as an increase or decrease in volume by half.
Acoustic comfort in rooms is ensured by ROCKWOOL ACOUSTIC BATTS stone wool slabs. They prevent the penetration of external noise into the room, neutralize the "echo" in the room, which contributes to a restful sleep. In addition, the slabs are not subject to shrinkage and retain their shape and properties throughout the entire period of operation of the building. At the same time, the hotel has become not only quiet, but also warm: the material is tightly held in the frame, without forming cracks and "cold bridges".
Thus, the guests of the hotel will be able to work in comfort and enjoy the warmth and coziness during their holidays.
SEC MOSKVA Metropolitan in Almaty: a combination of modern technology, style and comfort
MOSKVA Metropolitan is a modern shopping center located at the intersection of Abai and Altynsarin avenues. On 3 floors of the complex there are shops, restaurants, cafes, an entertainment center for children; in the near future, it is planned to open a multiplex cinema. During the construction of the shopping center, special attention was paid to the comfort and safety of future numerous visitors. When erecting the external walls, the technology of the curtain wall system with an air gap, which is well-proven all over the world, has been applied. Environmentally friendly non-combustible materials were used for insulation and exterior decoration.
For thermal insulation of the ventilated facades of the building, VENTI BATTS D non-combustible slabs were used, created using a special technology of double density. Due to the combination of a stiffer top layer and a lighter bottom layer, thermal insulation boards have a reduced weight compared to a two-layer solution and are more convenient to install. Thermal insulation made of stone wool will provide an optimal temperature regime both in the heat and in the cold season.
Roofing requires special attention during the construction of hypermarkets, since during a fire it becomes a source of increased danger due to possible collapse. RUF BATTS slabs were chosen for the insulation of the shopping complex. They have high strength and are able to withstand heavy loads, which helps in the implementation of projects of any complexity. Also, plates from the RUF series are distinguished by high resistance to mechanical stress and a long service life. The material ROOF BATTS SCREED will also help to prevent heat loss. It is used as a heat-insulating layer in roofs with a protective coating of concrete, reinforced-cement, cement-sand and other slabs. Additional fire safety of the facility is confirmed by the fact that stone wool fibers are able to withstand temperatures up to 1000 ° C.
ROCKPANEL cladding panels were used to create the original design of the shopping complex. The Woods wood grain pattern is unique on each panel, creating a striking yet durable and safe natural wood look. The panels are distinguished by the reliability of stone, ease of installation and operation, as well as ample opportunities for the implementation of all kinds of design and architectural solutions. ROCKPANEL Colors are ideal for applications where a colorfast, decorative finish on exterior walls is required. The panel cover is self-cleaning and weather-resistant, thus extending the life of the decorative cover.
