Automatic Entrance Pods Welcome Brighton Coworkers
Delivering fl exible workspace facilities for freelancers seeking coworking space, through to corporates on more traditional leases, Plus X Brighton helps drive member productivity and positivity through innovation, world- class support, connectivity, and curated collaboration. Providing welcoming access to this busy innovation hub, TORMAX was contracted by JPJ Installations Ltd to provide eye-catching, curved-sliding automatic entrance pods to the main east and west access points. Chic and contemporary, yet intensely practical, the pods each consist of a double set of curved glass doors that move independently, creating an opening space up to 40% greater than could be formed using linear sliding doors. Ensuring a long working life with minimal maintenance, the doors are powered by technologically advanced TORMAX iMotion 2202.A operators. With sustainability as a key driving force, the building has been designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent and EPC B Rating. Contributing to the green solution, the TORMAX entrance pods can be programmed set to create an effective airlock during inclement weather, helping reduce heat-loss from the foyer.

Environments_D-Edit.indd 1 Dorma’s Low VOC emissions set new standard for moveable walls
Responding to a growing awareness of the importance of indoor air quality, Style’s manufacturing partner, Dorma Hüppe, is pleased to announce that their Varifl ex moveable wall system far exceeded expectations in a recent emissions test carried out by the independent laboratory, eco-INSTITUT. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were analysed and evaluated, delivering reference values of only 0.021 mg/m³. This is an outstanding result given that the recommended maximum level, according to AgBB (Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products) is ≤ 1 mg/m³. The result is particularly signifi cant for architects, contractors and end-users choosing moveable walls for sustainable buildings, as not only were the individual parts tested, but also a complete Varifl ex 100 movable wall with an opening height of 2,800 mm. “These test results show just how far advanced Dorma Hüppe is with its strategy to develop highly sustainable moveable wall solutions,” said Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director. Style, through their exclusive UK partnership with Dorma Huppe, were the fi rst ever UK supplier of EPD certifi ed moveable walls in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN15804.

Environments_D-Edit.indd 1 Adding the homely feel at SKA Gold Rated Offi ces
Studio Moods and Luxury Vinyl Tiles from IVC Commercial have added a homely atmosphere to the SKA Gold rated offi ces of Gama Healthcare, a leading sterile products manufacturer. Gama Healthcare recently called upon design and build company Oktra to transform its 1,860 m2 Hemel Hempstead offi ces into an environment that supported its workforce with a homelike feel. The answer saw a design inspired by bright and bold colours with an open space to encourage collaboration. At the heart of the scheme is a fl ooring layout to support the zoning of the space, using IVC Commercial’s Studio Moods and Moduleo 55 Luxury Vinyl Tiles to ground the interior in nature and to add a calming and restful infl uence. The team at Oktra went on to use Studio Moods in a Sierra Oak wicker pattern, combining it with IVC Commercial’s Moduleo 55 Impressive Sierra Oak planks laid herringbone. Both fl oors deliver an authentic wood-effect, with Moduleo 55 Impressive also featuring EIR, a surface technology that perfectly recreates the texture map of its wood-effect design for a true-to-life feel. Studio Moods and Moduleo 55 Impressive also helped Gama Healthcare’s offi ces to achieve SKA Gold status.
