2nd Prize
Acquamotion Gramado
BrazilCompany Name: MB Rodrigues
Project description
Implanted in almost 50,000 m², Acquamotion is the only indoor theme water park in South America. It has naturally heated thermal waters, and special air conditioning that guarantee thermal comfort at any time of the year. The glasroc X plasterboard delivered all its performance to replicate an open sky indoors, with many details and different angles in more than 6.000 m² ceiling area, something that would be very hostile for any other plasterboard, considering the permanent conditions of humidity and steam in the place. To ensure that the conditions of use of the product were respected, and that the system delivered its full potential, multiple meetings were held with the technical department of Saint-Gobain.
