Gilberts (Blackpool) Ltd - £300,000 Contract for Ceiling Diffusers

One of the UK’s leading air distribution companies has completed a contract worth over £300,00 to supply diffusers for an impressive new office building, close to the world famous Tate Modern gallery in south London.
The Blue Fin building, a 12-storey development with 500,000 square metres of office space, will be occupied by IPC Media and parent company Time Warner’s other UK businesses. Staff at the media organisation selected the name because of the 2000 blue aluminium fins that cover the building’s external façade. These change the appearance of the building as the sun moves around and provide constant shade inside the offices.
Gilberts of Blackpool have designed, manufactured and supplied over 3500 metres of Type GSL three and four slot linear ceiling diffusers for 10 of the 12 floors. The three slot models are installed around the room perimeters, while the four are for internal areas. In addition, the company have supplied a large number of floor grilles for the third floor computer room, together with thermal and acoustic proofed plenum boxes fitted with teleflex operated spigot dampers.
For this project the aluminium extruded slot diffusers are from the new GSL series which feature a unique removable directional control blade that allows horizontal or vertical air distribution.
The diffusers were specified by consultant Flack & Kurtz and installed by m & e contractors Westco.
