Armourcoat Acoustic awarded Quiet Mark

Surface Design Show ‘Quiet Zone’

Armourcoat created a ‘quiet zone’ on their

stand at the 2019 Surface Design Show

to highlight the benefits of their acoustic plaster system. The company also featured

among the main stage speakers and

presentation to the 2019 Surface Design

Award winners.

The Surface Design Show, held at Islington’s

Business Design Centre, is a must-attend

annual trade event to source products, gain

new insights and connect with innovative

and exciting materials such as Armourcoat

Acoustic.

The Armourcoat Acoustic Plaster System

was recently granted the Quiet Mark Award

(see back page) - the international mark of

approval from the Noise Abatement Society

Charitable Foundation. Poppy Szkiler,

founder and managing director of Quiet

Mark shared seasoned insights as a third-

generation noise reduction campaigner on

the main stage during the event, to discuss

acoustic solutions for a noisy world.

Armourcoat were also delighted to

support the 2019 Surface Design Awards,

sponsoring the ‘Sustainability’ category,

presented on the final day of the exhibition.

Armourcoat finishes have been specified throughout the VIVI restaurant, a new

1960’s inspired eatery opening in the

Centre Point building in London’s West

End. VIVI promises to deliver traditional

British food with an innovative twist.

VIVI’s 290 cover dining room serving

delicious British favourites has its interior

design inspired by 1960’s colours and

fabrics including a handmade chandelier

by Danish designer Vibeke Fonnesberg

Schmidt. The new restaurant, created by

rhubarb – the team behind Sky Garden

and Verdi Italian Kitchen at the Royal Albert

Hall, is part of a wider refurbishment of

Richard Seifert’s celebrated Grade-II listed

high-rise tower.

Armourcoat finishes have been used to spectacular effect in the entrance lobby, restaurant reception, bar and dining area,

with close to 300m2 of hand-finished polished plaster applied to the walls. In

addition, 240m2 of Armourcoat’s new

acoustic plaster system has been installed

to the ceilings in the main dining room.
