Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 1 Profile Baffle Ceiling Project

Hong Kong International Airport is one of the world's major aviation hubs, serving millions of passengers annually. To enhance the overall passenger experience and modernize the Terminal 1's spatial aesthetics, a comprehensive upgrade project was initiated. The project focused on upgrading the 3,000㎡ ceiling system to deliver both superior functionality and visual appeal. Materials selected had to be durable, safe, and visually appealing, and construction had to be managed carefully to avoid any disruptions to airport operations.

To meet the functional and aesthetic goals of the project, several specific requirements and constraints had to be addressed during the design and construction phases. These included:

1. 1. Large-span interior space requiring high structural stability and uniform ceiling alignment 
   2. Ceiling system must support ventilation, lighting integration, and easy maintenance access
   3. Materials needed to be corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and maintain long-term color stability
   4. Tight construction schedule demanding high efficiency and minimal disruption to airport operations

Profile Baffle Ceiling system was chosen in this project, providing a create open, linear, and visually coherent ceiling designs. This system not only enhances spatial transparency but also contributes to a modern aesthetic that complements the airport’s architectural style.

The ceiling system was designed and manufactured with strict dimensional accuracy to ensure uniform spacing between baffles and excellent overall flatness across the 3,000㎡ area. This precision guarantees visual harmony and reliable structural performance once installed.

All ceiling components were prefabricated in controlled factory environments to ensure precise dimensions and consistent quality. By delivering ready-to-install modules, the system reduces on-site work, shortens the overall construction schedule, and lowers labor costs. This modular approach also minimizes disruption to airport operations by limiting the amount of time and manpower required at the project site.

The use of AkzoNobel powder-coated in aluminum profiles ensures exceptional durability in demanding environments, such as high humidity and urban pollution. This advanced coating resists color fading and is backed by a 10-year warranty, ensuring a clean and consistent ceiling appearance over time. Combined with a smooth, easy-to-clean surface and modular design, the system simplifies maintenance, minimizes downtime, and reduces long-term upkeep costs.
