Gilberts helps hospital safeguard staff when researching disease
Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundations Trust has opened an extended histopathology laboratory at the Royal Victoria Hospital as part of a fi ve year plan to improve facilities for staff and care for patients. To deliver on the commitment to create resilient environments, whilst reducing its carbon footprint and saving energy, the new facility is ventilated using grilles and diffusers from leading air movement specialist – and Blackpool manufacturer – Gilberts. A combination of Gilberts’ MN multi-nozzle diffusers, DG square faced louvres, GHV double defl ection grilles delivers the high air fl ow required for the space. PGR perforated face diffusers provide air extract to effi ciently remove used air and airborne contaminants. Gilberts’ Ductgard dampers provide fi re and smoke protection. All are linked to a central control panel, also supplied by Gilberts. The modern-styled grilles and diffusers combine to provide the high volumes of entrained air critical for such a sensitive environment, to safeguard staff who are diagnosing and studying diseased tissue. The histopathology laboratory extension @ Royal Victoria Hospital builds on Gilberts’ proven track record in healthcare air movement.

Multiboard helps Mango Mosaics
Caroline Jariwala is still keen to learn from other members of the artistic community, though in this instance the piece of wisdom was about how to overcome the physical shortcomings of the plywood she regularly used as a substrate for her commissions. While trying to be as sustainable as possible in making use of reclaimed tiles and distressed ceramics as the raw material for much of her work and teaching sessions, the backing materials, or substrates, are normally new sections of board and with an increasing demand for her to create mosaics which will be exposed to the weather, the reason she decided to experiment with the use of Marmox Multiboard, was the specialist tilebacker board’s resistance to repeated wetting. Caroline commented: “It was just over a year ago that I heard from other artists on a mosaics social media forum that they were successfully using Multiboard as a base for their work, because it is so easy to cut and offers such a good bond for different types of adhesive – and it is totally waterproof.”
