Soundproofed offices over workshop
February 1st 2007 When leading manufacturer and supplier of workshop and storage equipment solutions, Bott, consolidated its operation into a single facility in Bude, Cornwall, it needed to extend the existing office accommodation. This meant building over a busy and noisy workshop. Turning to Spaceway to find a solution, the company set about finding a way of installing a mezzanine floor that would soundproof the offices from the clamour of the machinery below. The answer came a new type of FlooriTall mezzanine from Spaceway. The new double-decked mezzanine floor not only soundproofs the area but also provides insulation in winter. The mezzanine is built in three sections with a 50mm layer of polystyrene sandwiched between the two areas of decking. The result is a very economical use of space, which has provided Bott with an additional 154m2 of soundproofed space. Once the mezzanine had been erected, Spaceway set about creating the new offices. Spaceway installed Komfort Jumbo portioning around the mezzanine floor to create the office accommodation. Fire rated suspended ceilings were installed above and below the mezzanine to further insulate the area and to meet fire regulations. More articles from The Spaceway Group: |
