Castell Allen High School protects extension with Yeoman Shield
C
astell High School in Flintshire supplies co-education to 1300+ students promoting strong levels of
well-being. The original school building was established in 1958 and as the student intake grew extensions were built in 1974 and 1992 to accommodate.
2021 saw the latest extension, Y Celtec building, completed. Problems soon became apparent with the walls within the new area being clean and damage free. The school’s Site supervisor, Paul Muncey explained: “Keeping the white painted walls clean was becoming a nightmare for our cleaning team and within 12 months of the building coming into use the walls along the corridors required repainting.”
Business Manager Emma Manning had come across Yeoman Shield wall protection solutions in a previous position and got in touch with regards to protecting the new building’s wall before the impact damage became too great.
Yeoman Shield directly employed fixing operatives installed Mid-Grey FalmouthEx, 2,500 x 1,250 mm wall protection panels along the corridor walls.
The panels once in place not only protect from damage but are easy to clean down and will prove over the years to reduce repair and maintenance costs. They also look good sustaining a bright, clean, and welcoming

Advertorial.indd 1 “Nothing better” claims for new ventilation with heat recovery unit
In the drive towards reduced net zero, Gilberts Blackpool claims its new MFS-HR surpasses performance of anything comparable on the market for commercial and public sector applications. Building on Gilberts’ pioneering MFS hybrid ventilation unit – the fi rst of its kind to be developed in the UK – the combined hybrid unit can achieve up to 75% heat recovery. The market-leading heat recovery performance means that when employed as part of a sustainable strategy including photovoltaic arrays, MFS-HR could achieve energy negative status. As with the original MFS and other alternative hybrid ventilation systems, MFS-HR is a stand-alone unit installed through the facade to ventilate, cool and warm the interior. Initial tests indicate each MFS-HR will provide up to 4 kw heating and 2 kw cooling capacity while still delivering a airfl ow rate of up to 470 l/s. It could cost as little as £10/annum/zone to operate. Manufactured by Gilberts in the UK, the whole MFS range makes optimal use of recyclable materials making it low on embodied carbon, MFS attains air leakage better than legislative requirements – 3 m3/HR/m2, and a U value of less than 1 W/m2/°C.

info@gilbertsblackpool.com Brighton children’s nursery adds adaptable space
Style was specifi ed to install a new folding wall system to the ground fl oor of the Bloomsbury Street Day Nursery in Brighton, creating a fl exible environment where children are encouraged to learn, play and explore at their own pace. Allowing nursery staff to separate the room into two, Style recommended a Stylefold acoustic glass folding wall with a 44 dB Rw rating, ensuring that activities either side of the wall can take place undisturbed. By choosing a glazed folding wall, staff can maintain a watchful eye on the children and the area continues to enjoy an airy and open feel, even when the wall is in place. This manually operated folding wall is light and simple to open and close, encouraging staff to change the room confi guration to suit daily activities. The pass door means the wall can remain in place for longer periods if desired without hindering access between rooms. “For schools, day centres, and community halls the Stylefold folding wall is a really effective solution,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group sales director. “It can be opened and closed in seconds, the acoustics are superb – which means you can enjoy privacy either side, and this modestly priced folding wall solution is ideal for when budgets are tight.”
