Hotel Round Table - Underlining importance of a good night's sleep
With the region in the midst of an unprecedented hotel building boom ahead of EXPO 2020, Gyproc has been working to highlight the role of acoustics in hotel design. Working with Middle East Architect, we recently sponsored a round-table discussion with some of the region’s top architects and building professionals.
With support from Gyproc’s technical and hotel design experts, Jason Hird and Marloes Meer, the panel agreed that more emphasis must be placed on ensuring good acoustics at the design stage to overcome the problem of poor soundproofing – currently one of the three top complaints by hotel guests. Putting problems right later can be expensive and time consuming, and disgruntled guests don’t come back!
