The Kingspan KoolDuct System has provided a space saving ductwork soluon at Lancashirebased cheesemaker, Dewlay Cheese, helping to supply cool air to three new cheese presses
To maintain temperatures within the presses, EcoDuct installed the Kingspan KoolDuct System within the roof of the facility.
Kingspan KoolDuct boards feature a premium insulation core faced with aluminium foil which can be easily assembled into lightweight ductwork sections up to 2.95 metres in length. This simple fabrication approach was particularly beneficial on the project due to the restrictions of the site, as the managing director of EcoDuct explained:
“We installed all of the Kingspan KoolDuct System sections in the roof space above the factory. To limit the disruption to Dewlay, a barrier was erected above the food production areas allowing them to continue functioning as normal. The Kingspan

KoolDuct sections were then fed through a hole in the side of the building. Due to the size of some of the sections required, it was assembled in separate pieces. Our installers were then able to fit the full run within the roof space itself. This wouldn’t have been possible to achieve with standard galvanised ductwork.” The combination of excellent thermal performance and airtightness was particularly important on this project, as the circulated air needed to be maintained at cool temperatures to protect the dairy produce within the presses. By limiting heat and air- leakage through the ductwork, cooling and fan sizes were reduced, cutting overall energy demand. In addition to reducing long-term
running costs, this also fits within the firm’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency exemplified by the 2mW wind turbine which provides power to the site. The Kingspan KoolDuct System is UL Listed as a Class 1 Air Duct, to Standard for Safety UL 181 (Underwriters Laboratories: Factory Made Air Ducts & Air Connectors),
when fabricated to a specification clearly defined by UL. In addition, the KoolDuct board has also been assessed under the demanding responsible sourcing standard BES 6001 for which Kingspan Insulation has been awarded a certificate of ‘Excellent’ level.

Gilberts gives the ulmate treatment to an innovave relaxaon development in Cheshire
To extend the £10m The Spa at Carden’s fourstar atmosphere to the smallest detail, the air movement specialist has even designed and hand assembled a bespoke venlaon grille in the main recepon area that appears to be floang in the air in a feature marble wall.
The aesthetic challenge of the reception grilles was just one of many challenges Gilberts’ faced in developing the tools to meet the ventilation strategy designed by Kimpton Ltd. Performance challenges included finding aesthetic solutions that addressed airflow rates ranging from as little as 15l/s in the 14 treatment rooms through to 1000l/s in the swimming pool/ hydrotherapy suite.
“The marble wall is a focal point of the main reception, designed to make an impact and set the scene for the high quality throughout the Spa,” explained Gilberts’ sales director Ian Rogers.
“Therefore, any ventilation inlets and extracts in the vicinity had to continue that aspirational, dramatic
ambience. A linear bar grille was the obvious choice to ventilate the area, so we designed a bespoke version. “The blades within the grille appear to be floating in the air within the marble wall. We gave those grilles the Gilberts version of a Spa treatment!” Added Chris Tolley, Kimpton’s senior projects manager, “We knew we could rely on Gilberts as a single source to deliver solutions, that met all the demands, to the high level of style required.”
Beyond the main reception, predominantly, Gilberts’ high capacity two-slot slot diffusers ventilate the main Spa areas, including the 14 x treatment rooms, manicure and pedi room. Linear bar diffusers address ventilation in the bar, and café and form continuous runs
ventilating the swimming / hydrotherapy pool. adjustable swirls air the offices, staff rooms and male & female changing rooms, whilst air valves ensure fresh, moisture- and
odour- free air within the toilets and showers.

Finally, stylish and contemporary Contour was installed in the extended height areas offering seamless runs of energy saving cost effective LED lighting. Available with interconnecting power and module connectors including corner connectors, T junction and cross pieces, Contour provides individual or continuous runs of illumination and 100,000 hours maintenance free operational life, a
very attractive feature in buildings with a 24 / 7 lighting requirement.
Jehovah’s Witness UK Branch Oce to include SANHA UK Piping
Piping will be used for heang, domesc hot & cold services, as well as gas
SANHA UK has announced that their pipe systems have been featured in a new project that will house the UK Branch offices for the Jehovah’s Witness. Located in Temple Farm, Chelmsford, Essex, the site was originally a vehicle scrap heap and an unregulated dump site prior to its purchase in 2015. More than 11,000 volunteers spent over four million hours to help restore the 34-hectare (approx. 85 a.) property. The project includes four residential blocks, a sports pavilion, offices, an auditorium, maintenance block, as well as a printer and AV studio. SANHA UK provided piping for the build, which will be used for heating, domestic hot and cold services as well as drinking water and gas. SANHA®-Therm, which is made from carbon steel, was used for heating throughout the property. Domestic hot/cold services utilised SANHA®- Press made from copper, with NiroSan® 17000, comprised of 316L Stainless Steel, used for gas.
