Gilberts leads the way in creating the right hospitality environment
Gilberts Blackpool is continuing its pioneering reputation at the original outlet for one of the UK’s fastest- growing coffee brands. Black Sheep Coffee, with its strapline of ‘leaving the herd behind’, it is leading the fi eld in expansion, opening 30 stores in 2022, with a focus on speciality coffee and customer service. Founded less than a decade ago, the brand already has 40 outlets across the UK, including at the iconic, once-derelict Grade II Battersea Power Station. The chain’s owner Group Metropolitan has turned to Gilberts to create a discreet means of balancing adequate ventilation for the Battersea outlet’s kitchen without impacting on customers’ ability to relax and enjoy a coffee al fresco in the outside seating area. A fl oor-mounted screen of 12no. AP50 acoustic panels enclosed behind a bank of 12no. WGF38 factory-built fl anged louvres minimises noise while directing the extract air (and associated odours from the kitchen) upwards away from guests and surrounding residents. To accommodate the architecture of the external facade, the compact bank graduates from 1.5 m to 2 m along its 10.4 m length, providing 50% free ventilation with noise modulation.

Bars_DPR.indd 1 G F Holding Tiling completes ‘highest hotel’ install with Mapei
An extensive tiling project – completed by G F Holding Tiling Ltd using a Mapei preparation and fi xing system – features at Novotel Liverpool Paddington Village. G F Holding Tiling Ltd’s installation – within the reception area, and ground, fi rst and second fl oor rest rooms – was completed with Mapei preparation products, adhesives and grout. The specifi cation included Latexplan Trade smoothing compound – a protein- free, low odour leveller with high compressive strength which was used to level the existing screed – and anti-fracture membrane, Mapetex, which was bonded with Keraquick S1 – a quick-setting, very low VOC deformable cementitious adhesive – and mixed with Latex Plus, an admixture which increases fl exibility to S2 classifi cation. Tiles were installed with Kerafl ex Maxi S1 – a deformable standard setting cementitious adhesive which provided benefi ts including an extended open time. The installation was completed with Ultracolor Plus grout – an anti-effl orescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modifi ed formulation which features water-repellent DropEffect®
and mould-resistant BioBlock®

PR.indd 1 Streamlined automatic access for spa guests
At the new £4.3m luxury spa, Breedon Priory in Derbyshire, access specialist TORMAX was contracted by Smart Aluminium Ltd to install their sophisticated bi-parting automatic sliding door system to the rear of the building, giving guests effortless access out onto a well-appointed sundeck. Delivering an unobtrusive solution, TORMAX recommended their Windrive 2201 door operator. Housed in a neat casing measuring just 142 mm x 100 mm, the discreet Windrive blends seamlessly with the contemporary yet sumptuous interior decor of the spa. In addition to treatment rooms, a restaurant and small shop the 1,344 m² high- end spa also includes a wellbeing suite with thermal cabins, relaxation lounges, an indoor vitality pool, ice fountain and experience showers, plus two beautiful outdoor infi nity pools. Phase II of the development will include the addition of eight luxury holiday lodges for overnight stays. Helping reduce heat-loss from the building, simple two-key programming of the TORMAX operator allows staff to easily change the speed at which the automatic doors open and close, effi ciently helping to keep the warm air in on chillier days.
