At Wembley, the home of English football, Drywall Technologies (Drytech) have installed 140,000 m2 of walling - much of it as fire protection panels above the retail kiosks in public concourse areas. These panels up to 8m in height, are built with Knauf Drywall's Shaftwall system, due to the limited working space behind the panels.
Also at Wembley, more than 160 corporate boxes providing VIP facilities for parties of eight to twenty at Cup Finals and other world-class events, are being created by the BDL Group, using 15mm Knauf Soundshield on each side of 92mm Knauf 'C' Studs.
At the Emirates Stadium, which will replace Arsenal's Highbury base, MPG Contracts have used the same products and specifications to build 150 executive boxes, each seating 10-15 people.
