OPTIM-R appointed for Royal Pavilion
The KingspanOPTIM-R Flooring System has
been fitted as part of a landmark development
of luxurious apartments facing on to the new
central square in the sustainable community of
Poundbury. As within all Kingspan OPTIM-R
projects, Kingspan provided a specialist design service for the
application at the Royal Pavilion. The designers used the architectural
floor plan to determine the optimum layout for the OPTIM-R VIPs.
Kingspan OPTIM-R rigid vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) have a
declared thermal conductivity of 0.007 W/mK, outperforming some
commonly used insulation materials by a factor of five.

A former hotel in the Polwarth area of
Scotland’s capital is the subject of a complex
conversion and reconfiguration project,
where MarmoxThermoblocks have been
specified by the project consultants to address
the critical floor/wall junction within the new
extensions being constructed. At the base of the new perimeter walls,
the block-layers have used a total of 117 of the 140mm wide
Thermoblock units each one 600mm long and 65mm high. In
addition, the merchant stockist also supplied a carton of 10 Marmox
MSP 360 Sealant for the purpose of completing the stepped joints.

Over 13 years since it was first installed,
ductwork fabricated from The Kingspan
KoolDuct System is maintaining ideal
learning conditions at the National
STEM Learning Centre at the University
of York. With its premium performance
insulation core, the lightweight solution
eliminates the requirement for a secondary lagging stage – helping to
accelerate installations. Ductwork can be fabricated on or offsite in
sections up to 2.95 m in length and can be fitted with a variety of
coupling solutions to suit the particular demands of each application.

An integrated acoustic solution from Sto
has been used to create a balanced acoustic
environment for a major Scottish medical
training establishment. The StoSilent
Distance system has been installed in the
main auditorium space at the world-
famous Royal College of Physicians of
Edinburgh. The StoSilent Distance system incorporates a metal profile
sub-construction, onto which the recycled, expanded glass granulate
acoustic boards are fitted. This lightweight, monolithic system can be
used to create clean, seamless and uncluttered ceiling solutions.

The Type MPC – Multi-Profile Cavitray from
Cavity Trays Ltd, is a new DPC tray for use
with all styles of metal and concrete lintel over
window and door openings. The Type MPC
has an L-shaped base to ensure it locates
accurately and positively within the external
masonry leaf and a vertical-rising section
grooved with adjustable hinging points
enabling the installer to angle the cavity-rising section to suit whatever
lintel type, dimensions and construction configuration deployed.
Adjustability, adaptability but with disciplined positive shaping.

A landmark mixed-use scheme in Cardiff has
been given a sleek and striking facade thanks
to Senior Architectural Systems’ SF52
aluminium curtain wall system. Combining
slim sightlines and excellent thermal
performance, Senior’s SF52 aluminium
curtain walling was the ideal choice for the extensively-glazed
buildings which, designed by Morgan 2 Morgan Architects, benefit
from bright and modern interiors and a stylish envelope design.
Thanks to Senior’s in-house powder coating facility, the SF52 system
is available in an almost unlimited range of colours and finishes.

Garadorhas launched its much anticipated Series 4 GaraMatic garage
door operators. There are three models to choose from: GaraMatic
9, GaraMatic 10 and GaraMatic 20. The new Series 4 operators retain
important safety and security features, such as automatically reversing
when the door meets an obstruction, and locking via a mechanical
latch in the boom to prevent forced entry. The operators also include
significant advances in energy efficiency, lighting and new smartphone
connectivity. The Series 4 operators have energy-efficient bright LED
lighting, consuming less than 1 watt of electricity when in stand-by
mode. The GaraMatic 20 has 30 LEDs and running light for even
brighter illumination. The GaraMatic 10 and GaraMatic 20 also
include an integrated Bluetooth receiver and HCP-bus connection, a
feature which enables the user to control the operator using the
Garador app on their smartphone or connect to external smart home
systems such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home Hub.
