Acoustic panels can embrace the extreme R
ecent tests have shown that Troldtekt acoustic panels withstand moisture levels up to 98%, even when
combinedwith high temperatures up to 40°C. These latest tests were carried out by the accredited Danish Technological Institute to the European product standard for suspended ceilings (EN 13964). While the composition of the panels has
remained unchanged, this new round of stringent testing reinforces the fact that the panels are suitable for themost demanding of wet, warm and humid environments such as swimming pools, changing rooms and shower rooms. In these environments, it was found that
the panels are dimensionally stable and retain their flatness. This means they do not warp over time, giving them a life span in excess of 50 years. The panels are inherently robust and
durable because the combined strength of the cement coupled with the breathability of wood means the structure does not rot and acts as an anti-microbial surface resisting fungal growth and other microorganisms.
For very humid environments where
chlorine is also present, Troldtekt offers special structure screws in the highest corrosion protection category. This means it is now possible to have a complete C60 profile systemin steel where both the profiles and screws are C5 rated. The screws are also available in all colours to match the panels when installed on ceilings and walls. Founded on the Cradle-to-Cradle design
concept, Troldtekt’s natural and inherently sustainable panels are available in a variety
of different surfaces and colours and contribute positively to a building’s BREEAM, DGNB and LEED ratings. In addition to their high sound absorption and tactile surface, they offer high durability and low-cost lifecycle performance. Available in various sizes and in four grades, fromextreme fine to coarse, the panels can be left untreated or painted in virtually any RAL colour.

£92 million student accommodation project receives Advanced protection
F
ive new towers at the University of Brighton’s Moulsecoomb Campus are now protected by a fault-tolerant network of
MxPro 5 fire panels from global fire systems leader, Advanced. Te 13 networked MxPro 5 panels have
been installed to protect the five student accommodation towers varying between eight and 18 storeys, which will provide more than 800 student bedrooms as well as ground-floor fitness facilities and amenities for the students’ union. Responsible for the fire system design, supply
and commissioning were West Sussex-based Southern Fire Alarms (SFA) Ltd, who also installed the equipment alongside mechanical and electrical engineers, J&B Hopkins. Te fire system is integrated with multiple third-party interfaces, including automatic opening vents (AOVs), sprinklers and access control. Careful consideration was given to the complex
cause and effect programming that needed to be applied across the site. Each building is configured with a six-minute investigation period, with sounders on the floor of origin initiated aſter a single device activation. A single subsequent device activation will escalate into full evacuation of the specific tower. A master key switch has also been introduced, to allow for full evacuation of all towers if required.
MxPro 5 is the fire industry’s leading
multiprotocol fire system solution, certified by FM Approvals to the EN 54 standard. It offers customers a choice of four detector protocols and a completely open installer network, backed up by free training and support. MxPro 5 panels can be used in single-loop, single-panel format, or easily configured into high-speed networks of up to 200 panels covering huge areas. Ease of installation and configuration, as well as a wide range of peripheral, make MxPro 5 suitable for almost any application. Advanced, owned by FTSE 100 company
Halma PLC, protects a wide range of prestigious and high-profile educational facilities across the globe – from Scotland’s University of Edinburgh
and Serbia’s University of Belgrade to Myanmar’s British International School. Advanced is a world leader in the development
