2011 IN REVIEW
revolution Another world first from Silent Gliss came to market in 2011 – the perfect combination of panel glide and room divider system. Silent Gliss 2760 not only enables the installation of panels in rooms with uneven ceilings but also offers endless new ways to separate, decorate, and design your room! Its ability to be bent down to a narrow 15 cm radius allows the system to be used in countless variations. The system available in a white powder coated finish is suspended with special hangers – allowing air circulation throughout the room, which is a prerequisite for hospitals. The sturdy hangers offer excellent stability and are easily to install and adjust. The already successful, innovatively designed roller-based carriers and profiles guarantee a very smooth and extremely quiet system operation. The high quality, bendable design fascia offers the perfect finish and effectively hides the workings of the panel glide system. The new designed aluminum draw rod enables easier and more comfortable operation of the system. For more information visit

Fire protection for
breakfast cereal Nobel installed one of their K-Series fire suppression system in the kitchen of the Kelloggs production facility near Wrexham in 2011. The site began producing breakfast cereals in 1978 and since then it has developed to become the fourth largest Kellogg's cereal plant in the world. While the flexibility to work around the needs of the kitchen staff was of paramount importance, the proven efficiency and overall costs of the K-Series system were also taken into consideration by the contractors. The system needed to be installed quickly and Nobel
exceeded all expectations by delivering and installing in just two days. In this incredibly busy and energetic kitchen, fire prevention and protection is very high on the list of requirements. Scarff Fire Safety therefore required a supplier whose system would provide the highest possible standards of protection while also providing sensible economic savings.
