Gilberts helps “The Best Spa Hotel in UK” expansion
T
he Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort – winner of the Best UK Hotel spa award 2024 – is taking its visitor experiences
to the next level, with contribution from Gilberts Blackpool.
The globally renowned venue has invested £16m in a new thermal experience – the Woodland Spa – set within the facility’s 100- acre grounds in the heart of Lancashire. The three-storey building includes a gymnasium, bar, restaurant, treatment rooms, relaxation rooms, indoor swimming pool plus jacuzzi, salt steam room and serenity pool. To confi dently create the perfect atmosphere in each area, addressing the specifi c ambient conditions required, building services consultants Petit Singleton Associates utilised the expertise of Gilberts Blackpool to supply the air movement supply and extract. For
ventilation within the internal
spaces, Gilberts worked closely with PSA to develop a scheme that predominantly uses a combination of Gilberts’ contemporary-
styled louvre faced ceiling diffusers (DGA, four-way blow confi guration),
linear slot
diffusers (GSLS) and high-capacity slot diffusers (HSLS), with separate units for supply and extract. To compliment the clean, modern decor, all were fi nished in either pure white with a 20% gloss fi nish or matt traffi c white. And to ensure the air handling equipment with heat recovery connected to air source heat pumps all functions at optimum effi ciency,
constantly, Gilberts’
plant ventilation louvres in anthracite grey have been incorporated into the fi rst- and second-fl oor facades. Anthony Fitchie, principal building services engineer at PSA, explained: “The challenge was to deliver green technologies, whilst ensuring clients visiting the facilities had the perfect experience. That meant careful consideration of the ventilation supply and extraction to ensure the potentially aggressive atmosphere and high levels of humidity in certain areas such as the pools were correctly
addressed. We know from past experience that Gilberts would provide the technical expertise and product quality to support us in delivery of that challenge.”
All Gilberts’ products – standard lines and bespoke solutions – are designed and developed in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001:2015 quality standard in the company’s state of the art 140,000 ft² facility in Blackpool. The company has its own state-of-the-art test facility, including an air movement laboratory and specialist CFD and BIM software suites, giving customers unrivalled technical support and specifi cation validation.

P C Henderson’s Husky 120 Pro Sliding Door system specifi ed for luxury hotel renovation
Drench Showers has recently specifi ed P C Henderson’s Husky 120 Pro for a luxury hotel renovation project in London. The project brief demanded sophistication and luxury throughout their 181 guest bedrooms. This included the inclusion of bi-parting sliding doors in the Skyline bedroom suites to separate the bedroom and bathroom to not only maximise fl oor space but also allow for fl exible privacy options and an open-plan layout if required. The brief also required slimline framed aluminium doors with integrated glass to enhance the fl ow of natural light in the suite but to also provide an element of privacy when the doors are closed. Drench Showers did not hesitate to contact P C Henderson for a suitable sliding door hardware solution. Catering for wooden and metal doors weighing up to 120 kg each, Husky 120 Pro was identifi ed as the best system for the project. Designed with an anodised aluminium track and nylon rollers, Husky 120 Pro offers a quiet system which allows the doors to effortlessly glide along the track with minimal friction. The system has also been tested to BS EN 1527 standards to achieve in excess of 100,000 cycles to ensure product longevity and durability.

www.pchenderson.com London Leonardo Hotel upgrades meeting room fl exibility
Situated alongside St Paul’s Cathedral, the Leonardo Royal Hotel London St Paul’s recently added fl exibility to two of their high-spec meeting rooms. Working with architects, Cunningham McLean, and Edgewater Contracts, partitioning expert Style was contracted to install three glazed Stylefold 960 sliding folding walls. Effortless to move in and out of position, the walls can quickly divide the meeting areas to create smaller rooms, as required. With a 42 dB acoustic rating an excellent level of privacy is created between divided areas, whilst the glazed fi nish maximises light and visibility throughout the space. Finished with contemporary RAL 9005 Black Frames, these folding walls are not just a practical solution, but a stylish one too – complementing the interior design of the rooms. In the Barbican meeting room, two glazed Stylefold sliding folding walls can be used to divide the room into either three individual meeting rooms, one large and one small room, or the area can be opened up into one larger space. In the Temple meeting room, a single Stylefold wall was installed along the side of the room, enabling the room to either be closed off or opened up into the breakout area.
