Gilberts brings new level of cohesion to interior design

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.

Ian Rogers, Gilberts Sales Director says,

“It’s attention to the little details that make an interior design succeed. 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.
