oup.com Innovative engineering goes swimmingly
Hunter Douglas used its engineering expertise to create a stunning curved feature wall at a £16 million leisure scheme. Haven Point in South Shields, South Tyneside, which picked up one of just two North East regional RIBA awards 2015, includes a striking Hunter Douglas feature wall above the reception area. Constructed from wood grill in Magma Firestop-treated American White Oak, the wall provided an
engineering challenge because it curves around and leans forward, which necessitated modification to the grill system and the creation of flexible, bespoke panels. Hunter Douglas also manufactured a Luxalon 84R linear ceiling, which allows for fluid lines and precise directional control, in the main pool area.

Lochee Swim and Sports Centre in Dundee has re-opened to the public with an upgrade of over £1million. In making numerous improvements to the centre the flooring would need to be upgraded to a standard matching the quality of the overall refurbishment. It was
a challenge where international flooring and interiors specialists Gerflor would step in with a variety of solutions. The new refurbishment would see Gerflor’s
highly successful slip resistant Tarasafe™ Ultra H²O chosen for the changing rooms, with the main reception area benefiting from specifying Gerflor’s Taralay Premium Compact. No sports centre is complete without a state-of-the-art fitness suite. Taraflex® Sport M from Gerflor would be the ideal choice for this area.
