Templeman retailing T
empleman Retailing, a family-
run business with over 30 years of experience,
is a leading national
wholesaler of soft drinks, crisps, snacks, and confectionary, supplying vending machines and wholesalers across the UK. Supporting a network of over 4,500 vending machines nationwide, the company needed a ceiling solution for its new offi ce in Cramlington.
Challenge
The client wanted to refurbish the entranceway of their offi ce building to create a bold, memorable fi rst impression. Rather than a standard ceiling, they sought a visually striking feature that would set the tone for
the space. To achieve this, the project incorporated
the fi rst UK installation of the Nexus ceiling system, a fl exible grid design that allows for unique and personalised ceiling solutions by combining various shapes and colours to form distinctive patterns.
This required careful planning and precise coordination of lighting and services, ensuring the feature lights matched the black and grey Prestige tiles chosen and complemented the overall ceiling confi guration.
Solution Zentia worked closely with the architect and client to translate their vision into a practical, high-impact design. The ceiling was installed using Prestige tiles in black and dark grey as well as Zentia’s Gridline system, providing both texture and depth. The client drew inspiration from Zentia’s own recent head offi ce refurbishment, which helped inform the fi nal concept design. Due to being specifi ed as a system, the new ceiling and grid come with a 30-year warranty,
providing Templeman Retailing
additional peace of mind and assuring the durability of the ceiling. Zentia’s
Prestige family create a perfectly
sound absorption and sound attenuation to
balanced
provides good acoustical
space. It is smooth and fi nely textured, and is ideal for a wide range of spaces including meeting rooms, and libraries.
waiting areas
The refurbished entranceway now features a distinctive Nexus ceiling pattern, complemented by integrated lighting. The design creates a striking visual impact while maintaining a professional and contemporary aesthetic, demonstrating how innovative ceiling solutions can transform workplace environments.

Ultra-Fin UFH assists quest for Net Zero with supporting role in the Actors’ Church
A completed contract for an underfl oor heating company has demonstrated how a Grade I listed landmark building can undergo a transformation, without any traces being left on the existing historic internal fabric, while also future-proofi ng it for a switch to a fully renewable heating source in the coming years. Ultra-Fin UK Ltd has a strong presence in the heritage sector and was exhibiting at this year’s Listed Property Owner’s Club show at Olympia. The team met Westminster Churches Net Zero Forum Offi cer, Alison Moulden, who made the introduction to the Parish priest, Revd. Simon Grigg, and Parish Administrator, Phil Hunt, who took a keen interest in the potential of the underfl oor heating system which is designed for joisted fl oors. The Parish Administrator for St. Paul’s Church, Phil Hunt observed: “The Ultra-Fin system was also ideal for the project because it proved to cause far less harm to the fabric of the building than the alternatives being considered – not requiring the fl oor height to be built up or screeded, while it remains demountable and – valuably – it was also signifi cantly cheaper than the other systems which would have required far more work.”

Keeping Brachytherapy Equipment secure with Obexion
As cancer treatment advances, more hospitals are creating specialized brachytherapy departments, requiring both space for equipment and strong security. Large Linear Accelerators stay fi xed and can be powered down, but mobile brachytherapy devices, which use live radioactive isotopes, demand constant protection. As they deliver higher radiation doses, layered security is vital. One Midlands hospital installed both security-rated personnel doors and an Obexion roller shutter from Charter Global to safeguard its brachytherapy unit. The Obexion shutter is independently certifi ed by the Loss Prevention Certifi cation Board to LPS 1175 D10 (SR4) standard. This means that even if the outer personnel doors were breached, the shutter gives an additional 10 minutes of resistance to attack by hand tools and power drills. The control keypad allows staff to have individual PIN codes, giving complete traceability of who operated the shutter last and to limit access to only approved team members. The Obexion shutter range has a number of specialist features, including fast deployment in the case of emergency and a unique Lockdown mechanism ensuring that the shutter self-locks at all points of closing, so it cannot be forced open, even when partly closed.
