Public buildings

Doors for museums, concert halls and government agencies

For museums, concert halls and other public buildings, interior design is essential to the visitor experience. And while the focus in museums is on security and demarcation, concert halls require effective noise control.

STADTARCHIV, KÖLN

Cologne City Archive

Historical Archive of the City of Cologne & Rhenish Picture Archive

Sunken treasures – the City Archive in Cologne, which collapsed 13 years ago, could well be placed in this category. Construction work on the underground caused the collapse of the Historical Archive in the city on the Rhine in 2009. No one knew which treasures would be lost forever and what might still be salvageable. In September 2021, the "memory of the city" was reopened to the public and is considered Europe's most modern municipal archive. A total of 177 neuform doors of high material quality and visually adapted to the room statements grant or prevent access to Cologne's art treasures and archival documents from over 1,000 years of history and take into account the strictest conservational requirements.

A glimpse of the stars

This technically advanced planetarium treats visitors to a multisensory journey through the universe.

Some 50 door leaves and 43 wood frames with fire resistance and sound insulation were installed to segregate rooms. Top-class genuine wood veneer creates a natural, warm and consistent look-and-feel through all areas of the building. Flush elements and mechanically positive connections ensure durability even in areas with high foot traffic.

ELBPHILHARMONIE, HAMBURG

Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg

Perfect harmony

Sound-insulation doors should keep the right sounds in, and the wrong sounds out. That is exactly why Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie is fitted with high-quality doors from neuform. To guarantee excellent acoustics in studios and rehearsal rooms, the city’s new cultural symbol was equipped with oversize single- and double-leaf doors with the highest class of sound insulation. For even greater noise control, the door leaves were also extra thick . Moreover, to comply with all applicable safety regulations, the doors were made to T30 and T90 fire resistance standards.
