Gilberts helps Gleneagles deliver understated luxury in historic setting
O
ne of the world’s most iconic hotel brands is diversifying into the city with the opening of the Gleneagles
Townhouse. The air of understated luxury which will pervade all areas of the historic building will be delivered courtesy of Gilberts’ ventilation control throughout the guest areas. In St Andrew Square – a world heritage site in the heart of Edinburgh – the new venue features 33 individually-designed bedrooms, an all-day restaurant, members club, roof terrace and spa & wellness centre, carefully created within the Grade A listed building to preserve the classical architecture dating back to the 1850s.

Ten had to design the ventilation solution with care to deliver the levels of fresh air required in the boutique hotel environment without adversely impacting on the elaborate plasterwork and interior décor. It turned to Gilberts (Blackpool) to deliver.
Air supply has been achieved through a combination of DGA louvre face diffusers (plaster-in version), and LGN linear bar grilles with concealed fixing in runs up to 2m long. The combination ensures compliant levels of ventilation with a discreet visual appearance and clean horizontal air distribution pattern. Linear bar grilles and GECA egg crate grilles return the air for extraction through to WGC external louvres discreetly integrated into the windows. In its in-house state of the art powder-coating facility, Gilberts finished many of the grilles satin black, chosen to deceive the eye and blend the grilles into the interior décor. Toilet areas feature Gilberts’ GX air valves. Gilberts’ Ductgard fire and smoke dampers and associated controls complete the portfolio of solutions. Ductgard has been specifically engineered to provide up to four hours’ protection against smoke and fire, in one unit, in most ductwork. Fully tested, it is certified to BS EN1366-2.
