Ceiling panels

SAS International has supplied 57,000m2 of System 330 tartan grid and bespoke triangular panels to 47 floors of The Leadenhall ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV. A BIM model was created to ensure compatibility of the ceiling with the existing structure.  The company claims System 330 tartan was specified for its robust structure and excellent accessibility. The bespoke triangular panels feature a large half-and-half continuous special perforation for aesthetic quality and acoustic performance. The special perforation used for the north core then became a standard across the rest of the shell and core.

Bosch-Boilers

Gas fired boilers

Bosch Commercial and Industrial Heating has enhanced its range of gas-fired boilers with the launch of a 50kW GB162 boiler. The new appliance has been introduced to help bridge the gap between domestic boilers and Bosch’s current light commercial GB162 range. The company said the introduction of the GB162 50kW boiler allows heating engineers to benefit from a condensing wall-hung gas-fired appliance, as it is just as suited to large-scale domestic installations as it is in light commercial applications.

External wall insulation

Saint-Gobain Weber has applied its external wall insulation for a refurbishment project at the corporate headquarters of DCC in Leopardstown, Dublin. The specific requirement of the refurbishment brief was to highlight and accentuate these features while improving thermal efficiency in the building. The weber.therm XP EWI with weber.therm M1 one-coat render was applied using 100mm-thick expanded polystyrene insulation. The company says their insulation was chosen as it is thermally efficient and met the project requirements as it improved the U-value from 0.27K/m²K to 0.16/m²K.
