Gilberts rise to smoke evacuation challenges
The “best yet” is how Gilberts Blackpoolis describing its latest range of smoke evacuation dampers for
multi-storey buildings. The UK’s market leader in the sector, Gilberts is taking its reputation to new
heights with its new Series 60 smoke evacuation damper range. Believed to be the only vent of its kind designed
and manufactured in the UK, Series 60 offers what Gilberts claims will the biggest standard range of EN12101-
8 compliant fire-tested dampers. The initial launch will soon be available and will provide seven sizes, from
440mm x 440mm up to 1000mm x 1125mm, and all CE marked to EN12101-8; further sizes in just 1mm
increments will follow. Series 60 combines a low leakage rate and high free area when open to deliver high
smoke evacuation rates. Activation (by powered motor) is triggered to open the damper on the fire floor for
smoke evacuation, whilst all other dampers failsafe close to protect the rest of the building. The damper has
been tested and will provide 120 minutes’ fire integrity. An easy fit, cover grille completes the installation. A
range of bespoke- designed fascia grilles are available are standard; decorative versions are available.

HeartFelt®combines top acoustics
When DPG Media, the Belgium parent
holding company of the commercial TV
channels VTM and Q2, renewed the studios
for its radio channel Joe, it chose the award-
winning HeartFelt®from Hunter Douglas
Architecturalfor the ceilings. Not only does
HeartFelt®have unique sound-absorbing
performance, which meets the particularly high acoustic requirements
for a radio studio, it also radiates playfulness and openness – just like
the station itself. The space between the felt slats also allows air
ventilation pipes to be installed invisibly above the ceiling.
