enq. 228 Award-winning supermarket group makes the switch to LED lighting
An award-winning supermarket group has made the switch to LED lighting to enhance the retail experience for its cus- tomers, while slashing harmful CO2 emissions. Tout’s Budgens in Somerset chose to completely refurbish its Cheddar supermarket with LED lighting after seeing the light quality and energy savings the latest LED technology can provide.
They asked experts at award-winning LED lighting specialists MHA Lighting to devise a scheme for the re-launch of their Church Street store, which would showcase the fresh, quality produce that they are famous for, to best effect. MHA Lighting replaced traditional fluorescents with 84 of their unique TiLite fittings from its patented product range. A further 38 LED down lighters were installed in the store’s Subway concession (over tables) and in the pharmacy areas. The new installation not only achieves high colour rendering of 80CRI with 4500 kelvin – the optimal colour for displaying
produce – but has cut lighting energy costs and CO2 production by 65 per cent. MHA Lighting managing director, Tom Harrison said: “Our installation has provided Tout’s Budgens at Cheddar with energy savings of £89,539 over the product’s
lifetime. Equally importantly we have managed to save 567 CO2 tonnes. The lighting system is also extremely low main- tenance and will run for 60,000 hours of continuous use.” In the case of Tout’s Budgens at Cheddar – with an 18 hour day operation – this means that the lights will not need replacing for nine years and will save an added £12,880 on routine maintenance. MHA Lighting has an LED footprint for every lighting solution. The lack of heat given off by LED lighting allows further energy savings to be made through reduced use of air conditioning systems.

Discover where great projects are born For the specification of high quality tiles and tile instal- lation products, Domus and Mapei have been a formi- dable team for many years. A team that has partnered architects in some of the highest profile projects in the UK. It was only natural that when embarking upon their new “Specification Home” in Clerkenwell, London’s renowned design district, Domus invited Mapei to enhance the experience for visiting specifiers by show- casing many of these technologically advanced installa- tion systems and products.

New Heckmondwike colour ranges at design show The 2012 Surface Design Show will mark the debut of the newly updated Supacord and Broadrib fibre bonded carpet ranges from Heckmondwike. The refreshed ranges retain the impressive characteristics that have helped them earn long-term pop- ularity but now offer new colourway options, which present an extended range of design possibilities. New sample cards
specification and
material hub is an intriguing new concept; a unique envi- ronment for architects, and designers to explore new
ideas and discover specification possibilities. The store is innovative, interactive but importantly adaptive. By elevating display units on wheels with no fixed zones the space can be altered to create surprise and intrigue on each visit.

Frontrunner Brush Wide, from Plastic Extruders Ltd, is designed for use as heavy duty external entrance matting. Part of the Frontrunner Entrance Flooring System range, the mat has an extra wide grid and nylon insterts that make it partic- ularly suitable as a temporary or perma- nent barrier against heavy soiling in bad weather and winter. The extra wide gaps
between the brushes allow small stones to fall through the grid and not remain on the surface, where they could be carried in by subsequent pedestrian traffic. As the Frontrunner system components are fully compatible with each other, Brush Wide can be easily exchanged in better weather for another mat of the Frontrunner Entrance Flooring System range. All the Frontrunner range can be trimmed easily on site to fit any shape.

for both ranges will be available to architects, designers and contractors who visit the stand. The extended range of Supacord colourways further increases the ver- satility of this cost-effective, British-made carpet. Because Supacord’s rugged, fibre bonded and narrow-rib construction allows it to be cut and laid without the danger of fraying, bespoke designs can be created, which enable the carpet to become an integral part of any interior design scheme.
