WHY SPECIFYING THE RIGHT FLOOR IS CRITICAL
Gilberts helps the Royal Albert Hall
The challenge of taking one of the world’s most iconic landmarks, the 150 years-old, Grade I listed Royal Albert Hall into the 21st century has been met by innovative and pioneering engineering solutions. Gilberts Blackpool has supported mechanical and electrical contractors Bradgate to achieve effective yet discreet ventilation of the Hall’s main auditorium – one of the most famous concert venues in the world and home of the BBC Proms. The ventilation upgrade is just part of a major refurbishment programme to preserve and protect the building to reduce the impact of ageing. Gilberts took the basic concept of its GFS swirl floor diffuser and design-engineered bespoke accessories to achieve, in one easy to install unit, all the elements required. Addition of a sleeve housing an intumescent fire block and damper below the diffusers addressed the fire protection and performance specification. Various versions were produced, depending on the location of the diffuser in the steps or the floor of the auditorium.
