Kier London is building a greener future at its new HQ with state of the art solar shading products from Levolux.
It is intended to help support Gatwick's planned growth towards accepting up to 40 million passengers a year.
When Pier 6 was opened in May 2005, it was estimated that 3 million people would travel through the new stand in the first 12 months alone.
Under the contract with specifier Mike Crossley Consult , Levolux supplied a series of Internal 780 motorised Roller Blinds, together with control units, to the airport to combat overheating and glare.
Each of the bespoke roller blinds can be raised or lowered in groups to three set positions and are all automatically operated through radio controlled motors.
All of the Levolux 700 Series of Internal Roller Blinds provide designers with a modern selection of products that are ultra reliable, aesthetically pleasing and, most importantly, effectively control glare and reduce solar heat gain.
All components are subject to rigid quality standards and are always designed with high performance and an attractive finish in mind.
Mike Crossley of Mike Crossley Consult commented, "This was a difficult project that was professionally executed by Levolux, as a great deal of expertise was shown by Levolux during the design, procurement and installation stage of the project".
"Following on, the operations and maintenance stage have been well supported and in all it was a successful project." A wide array of blinds, with multiple features, fabrics and control systems, are available from Levolux.
