Applied Solutions
To achieve superior acoustic standards and a high-end aesthetic for the interior space, the Saigon Marina IFC (The Sun) project selected a ceiling solution from Knauf, using 45,000 m² of Acoustical Ceiling Star Complete boards combined with the Silhouette XL-38H framing system. This is a premium ceiling system specifically designed for commercial buildings and luxury hotels, providing a sophisticated space and a first-class acoustic experience.
Acoustical Ceiling Star Complete boards are a high-quality Knauf product manufactured with advanced European technology, meeting international standards for sound absorption and fire resistance. With a special perforated structure, the ceiling boards have superior sound-absorbing capabilities, helping to reduce noise and create a quiet, comfortable environment for users. The refined finish also adds high aesthetic value to the space.

Knauf Ceiling Systems and Their Benefits
The Silhouette XL-38H ceiling system is a premium exposed grid solution with a 6mm channel that creates a striking 3D floating effect for ceilings. This unique design brings an elegant, sophisticated, and distinctive look to any space while ensuring the ceiling system's stability and high durability. With its excellent load-bearing capacity and easy integration with building systems like air conditioning and fire protection, this grid is an ideal choice for high-end projects.
The combination of the Acoustical Ceiling Star Complete boards and the Armstrong Silhouette XL-38H framing system creates a complete ceiling solution. It not only meets strict technical requirements but also delivers a refined, luxurious aesthetic. This enhances both the functional and visual value of the Saigon Marina IFC project, reflecting the developer's vision and commitment to building a world-class property.
Additionally, the Knauf ceiling solution aligns with the project’s sustainability goals. The Acoustical Ceiling Star Complete boards are manufactured from eco-friendly materials, free of harmful substances like formaldehyde, with low VOCs, and have achieved EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification.
Why Knauf Products Were Chosen
- Superior Sound Absorption: A primary reason for choosing the Acoustical Ceiling Star Complete boards was their outstanding sound absorption. With a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of up to 0.7, these boards can absorb up to 70% of sound, minimizing echo and creating a premium acoustic experience. This is crucial for large spaces like lobbies, restaurants, and conference centers, where sound control is key to ensuring user comfort.
- Beautiful Surface Finish: The Star Complete boards feature a high-end finish with a meticulously designed perforation pattern, providing a refined and luxurious look. Beyond aesthetics, the surface has a very high light reflectance of up to 88%, which optimizes lighting efficiency and makes the space feel more open and spacious. Paired with the elegant channels of the Silhouette XL-38H grid, this ceiling solution creates a harmonious whole that elevates the aesthetic value of the entire space.
- Compliance with Strict Technical Standards: Both the Acoustical Ceiling Star Complete boards and the Silhouette XL-38H grid meet all rigorous technical standards for fire safety, load-bearing capacity, durability, and high performance.
- Alignment with the Developer's Vision: The project’s goal of achieving LEED Gold certification made selecting sustainable, certified green materials a top priority. Both products meet green certifications and are environmentally friendly. Furthermore, Knauf's ceiling solutions are widely used in iconic buildings around the world, creating sophisticated and elegant spaces. The combination of excellent sound absorption and a beautiful finish creates a perfect spatial experience, contributing to the overall value of the project.
