Commercial interiors can be taken to a unique, new level of cohesion with the latest offering from Gilberts Blackpool.
Britain’s leading air movement specialist is building on its in-house manufacturing capability to bring to market customisable face plates for its top-selling GA swirl diffuser for exposed ceilings. It means even the detail of air distribution within the interior space can play a role in the overall design aesthetic.
A range of geometric and decorative styles has been developed as standard options. These enable the face plate design to reflect the ambience of the space- modern, industrial, or classic heritage- whilst offering high performance of up to 250l/s airflow and pressure drop between 8 and 30Pa depending on design.
Additionally, Gilberts can design and produce a personal, unique pattern: even something as potentially complex as the client’s logo can be pierced into the face plate.
And, with Gilberts’ in-house powder coating, the face plate can be colour-matched to any RAL colour, adding a further dimension to the interior ambience, or left bare metal (galvanised steel).
Via the company’s in-house R&D department and computer modelling suite, any custom design can be fully validated as to performance in all aspects- air volumes, pressure and throw- prior to order.
“It’s attention to the little details that make an interior design succeed,” says Ian Rogers, Gilberts Sales Director. “To our knowledge, no-one else offers the ability to personalise the visible element of the building services in commercial environments in this way. It gives designers even greater scope to create a stand-out interior. It’s our unique combination of on-site skills, and the way we have our manufacturing set up, that enables us to offer this service, cost-effectively.”
Founded 60 years ago, and still family-owned, Gilberts is the UK’s leading independent air movement engineer. It is unique in its ability to design, manufacture and test all products- including bespoke fabrications- in-house, to the extent it even designs and manufactures its own tools at its 140,000 sq ft head office and production facility.
