Challenge
The opulent Tilal Liwa Hotel which is owned
by Danat Hotel Group, is located in Abu
Dhabi and is situated on the border of the
Rub Al Khali Desert. This is the largest sand
desert in the world and sometimes referred to
as the ‘Empty Quarter’. The tranquil setting
adds to the luxury of this magnificent hotel.
As part of a major refurbishment programme
the hotels aim was to eradicate the noise
created by service trolleys and guests when
passing through the corridors, whilst still
incorporating many of the Arabic traditions
and culture.
Newhey worked closely with the interior
designers, Inter Décor Furnishings LLC to
design and manufacture the perfect carpet
which would eliminate the noise issues.
Khaled Sharabassy
General Manager of
Tilal Liwa Hotel
“The installation has transformed
the corridors, eliminating noise
and adding underfoot comfort
for the guest’s. We are delighted
with the quality and result and
are overwhelmingly satisfied with
a job well done.”
Design Solution
It was decided that Colortec+ would be the perfect solutions for the hotel. The guestrooms
corridors were refurbished in late 2014 with Newhey’s Colortec+ construction, a product which
is tufted using computer yarn placement technology. The carpet features high quality 80%
wool 20% nylon hank dyed pile yarns and is a cost effective, durable solution for guestroom
corridors.
The design studio at Newhey’s head office in Rochdale used 3 colours to create the textured
effect and a border to compliment the design.
Newhey manufactured over 1000 square metres of lavishly designed carpet which incorporates
‘evobac’ the world’s first ever revolutionary secondary backing system, this offers an eco-friendly
option as it is made using 100% recycled plastic bottles.
The carpet designs were chosen to match the calming location and atmosphere of the hotel and
fit in perfectly with the overall luxury of the complex.
