Interior Design & Fit Out UCL chooses Hunter Douglas linear ceiling Leading architectural products company Hunter Douglas has manufactured and supplied 250m2 of solid timber Linear Open 89 module in white oak for part of the ceiling and vertical bulkheads of the Lower Refectory and adjacent areas at Wilkins Terrace, part of University College London (UCL). Hunter Douglas’s premium ceiling was specified by Burwell Deakins Architects for its aesthetics and acoustic properties. Using solid wood linear systems enables contractors and architects to take advantage of a fully made-to-measure solution, creating any number of innovative designs because the panel and gap size is customisable. In addition, no cutting or adjustments are required at site, which significantly reduces installation time and cost. Hunter Douglas’ open linear wood ceilings are an all-natural and sustainable option that comes with FSC/PEFC certification. It has fire classification B-s2,d0 according to EN 13501-1, and achieves acoustic performance up to alpha w 0.70 without optional rock wool. www.hunterdouglas.co.uk Altro transforms uni renovation A package of Altro resins products have been used to transform a 30 year old building into the University of the West of England (UWE) Future Space. The building is used by R&D project teams to nurture start-up companies working in robotics and smart-controlled machinery and vehicles - so as half the building continued to be occupied by the staff of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, noise, dust, vibration and odours had to be kept to a minimum. A combination of Altro resins products was used to create solutions for areas such as the circulation hub, main access route from the entrance to the hub, laboratories, workshops, and corridors. Products were selected for their UV stability and slip-resistance, flexibility, and durability. Large new sky-lights flooded the central circulation hub with natural daylight, so colour stability was enhanced by including clear UV-stable seal coats. www.altro.co.uk Polyflor doubles up Flooring products from two of Polyflor’s most popular luxury vinyl tile and safety flooring ranges were chosen to help refurbish the school hall, classrooms, and corridors at St Wilfrid’s Church of England Academy in Blackburn. Over 1400m² of Expona Design PUR luxury vinyl tiles and Polysafe Modena PUR safety flooring was installed at the mixed secondary school and sixth form. The grey wood effect Silvered Driftwood shade from the Expona Design collection covered 600m² in the school’s busy dining hall. Polysafe Modena safety flooring in the Galena and Jetstone shades were installed to provide sustainable wet slip resistance in the academy’s classrooms and corridors. 21 rolls (840m²) of flooring was used with light grey Galena as the main floor colour and the darker Jetstone to create contrasting borders. www.polyflor.com Novus provides first class refurbishment Novus Property Solutions has redecorated five buildings at one of Scotland’s largest and most prestigious independent schools, in a project worth £25,000. The redecoration project took just six weeks to complete in order to fit in with the school’s summer holiday break, limiting disruption to pupils and staff. Between four and six Novus operatives from its Bathgate office worked simultaneously around the school campus in order to meet the agreed deadline. The wide-ranging works included repainting the exterior of one building and the interior of four buildings on campus, as well as refreshing the road and playground markings throughout the school grounds. The school’s Playfair building, with its distinctive neo-classical façade, was designed by the eminent Scottish architect William Henry Playfair, and the team ensured that all works carried out were sensitive to the original structure. www.novussolutions.co.uk Gradus step up to the mark GXT11 aluminium stair edgings from Gradus’s market-leading XT range have been installed to all core staircases at the University of Derby’s Nunnery Court halls of residence. They protect the step edge and surrounding floorcoverings from damage, subsequently reducing on-going maintenance costs at the facility. The XT range features an insert that extends around the leading edge of the profile to ensure that foot contact is always made with the slip-resistant element, helping to reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls. To further increase safety on the stairs, Xtra-grip inserts were chosen which offer increased surface roughness to reduce the risk of slip particularly where the stair edgings may become wet. The inserts harmonise with the interior design but also provide the correct LRV (Light Reflectance Value) to highlight the step edges. All of the XT stair edgings are available to download as BIM objects. www.gradus.com 20 Winter 2018 <strong>4152</strong>
