RMIG provides a sound solution M
ore than 3,800 sq m of perfo- rated metal cladding from RMIG, which incorporates
Soundtex acoustic damping material, has been used to line the interior of the
iconic Crystal building on Copenhagen’s waterfront district, which is now the headquarters of Danish financial services group, Nykredit. Designed by architects Schmidt
Hammer Lassen, the multi-faceted struc- ture uses a triple glazed façade to refract and reflect light throughout the interior, while also helping minimise any solar heat gain within the building. Its crys- talline shape, designed in the form of a 'Z', rises asymmetrically above the ground to a height of 34 metres and incorporates two atria to further improve lighting and aid the building’s natural ventilation. As the building is constructed using
an extensive glass clad structure, the architects wanted to ensure that the working environment was free from noise and echoes caused by sound reflected from the glazing and the internal struc- tural components, without compromis- ing the building’s clean modern design.
To help achieve this, RMIG worked
with Schmidt Hammer Lassen and contractor Jakon, to create the sound absorbing perforated panel design, which is installed throughout the building’s interior on walls and within The Crystal’s two triangular atria. Manufactured from mild steel and fin-
ished with a polyester powder coated finish in an RAL 9016 white, each of the 2,258 panels incorporate Soundtex acoustic damping material and were designed by RMIG to include a special number code to enable them to be installed in the precise individual loca- tion by the contractor. Prior to manufacturing the panels for
the project, RMIG created a series of full sized ‘mock-up’ panels for testing and approval by the contractor, to ensure they met the precise manufacturing and acoustic performance criteria demanded by the architects.

Sustainable access for green business park
Greenhills Real Estate Ltd has installed a third Tormax entrance system at the highly successful, energy efficient business park in Watford, Croxley Green. Set in impressive glass façades, the four-leaf manual revolving doors positively contribute to a greener environment by helping reduce heat loss from the buildings, while the low-energy automatic swing doors to either side take full advantage of Tormax iMotion technology, which is almost entirely manufactured using recyclable material. Contracted to design, manufacture and install the new entrance system to Building 8, Tormax worked with R&M Glazing to deliver a high quality solution that reflects the sustainable ambitions of the business park. The manual revolving doors create a prestigious frontage while delivering a solution that allows smooth pedestrian access. The automatic swing pass doors offer a DDA-compliant option for less-able staff and visitors to the site as well as allowing easy access for deliveries, etc.
