Kempinski Hotel, Mall of the Emirates

Dukkaboard was hired to design a wet room system for 405 luxury bathrooms for the 5-Star Kempinksi Hotel, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai. The previous system, designed by another firm, had failed and had begun to leak. A new system was required for immediate installation to avoid further damage, and to limit the loss of revenue due to downtime.

The team at Dukkaboard designed a bespoke waterproof tile backer board system, guaranteed waterproof for 25 years.

Not only did the system resolve the client’s problem to a 5-star standard, but it reduced installation time by an average of 7 days per room – saving the hotel over three-quarters of a million pounds in potential lost bookings.
