CHANGING PLACES FOR YOUNGSTERS
An innovative project designed by, and for, young people in Calderdale has taken steps to ensure it is accessible to all, by including a state-of- the art toilet. The £3.9m Orangebox partnership development* will provide counselling and support services for the borough’s 20,000 young people. To make sure everyone can benefit from the Centre, a Changing Places toilet has also been incorporated. Larger than a conventional ‘disabled toilet’, the Changing Places facility incorporates a height adjustable adult-sized changing bench, height adjustable washbasin, hoist and, at Orangebox, a Clos-o-Mat Palma Vita ‘wash and dry’ (automatic) toilet, all supplied and installed by Clos-o-Mat. A Changing Places toilet is now ‘good practice’ under BS8300:2009 for all new build and refurbishment projects involving buildings to which numbers of the public have access. Many venues installing the special toilets are also adding a Clos-o-Mat Palma Vita in place of a peninsular toilet, which features integral automatic douching and drying. 0161 969 1199 |

CATHEDRAL GAINS NEW LEASE OF LIFE
Yeoman Rainguard lead effect GRP rainwater pipes, clips and hoppers have been used to replace damaged rainwater systems on the historic Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. Architect John Beauchamp from Benjamin + Beauchamp Architects Ltd said: “We specified Yeoman Rainguard GRP for this particular project as they were able to match the design of the existing pipes and hoppers by producing moulds from which glass reinforced plastic replicas were supplied.” New downpipes were colour matched to the existing lead and produced in three separate colours to ensure a seamless bespoke installation at each location. 0113 2795854 |

FIVE STAR FLOORING AT HOTEL
Remmers Floormix DQ system has been installed by Phoenix Specialist Flooring to upgrade the floors and coves to the kitchens of a major hotel chain in the Midlands. The system was laid over the existing quarry tiles using Remmers FAS Primer 100, chosen for its exceptional bond to wet, glazed and difficult surfaces. Due to the nature of the busy hotel kitchen area, the Floormix DQ system was selected by the Client to meet their requirements for a seamless, hard-wearing surface that was easy to clean and maintain as well as providing a good level of slip resistance. The installation was carried out over four days as part of a fast track, full kitchen fit-out project. 0845 3730103 |
