Profilia is a new Acoustic Section range from Outside-In to provide a highly effective and aesthetically desirable means of controlling interior noise levels.
The use of natural materials was considered very important for a project intended to have a Lutyen-inspired country house style.
The building had to be not only low maintenance, but also had to offer a therapeutic, timeless quality.
The oak joinery together with the green oak cladding on the building all work towards these goals.
The £100 K package undertaken for main contractor Knox and Wells is typical of the commercial contracts Outside-In tackles on a regular basis.
The contract was awarded on the basis of Outside-In's ability to provide factory finished and glazed joinery, on time and to budget.
Working at its 3000 square metre factory in Stafford, Outside-In produced high performance doors, windows and screens as well as a large conservatory structure with a tiled roof which serves as a lounge for patients and their families.
The European Oak which comes from a sustainable source, having a recognised audit trail (FSC), offers longevity as well as a high quality appearance.
Special features of the doors and windows fabricated for The George Thomas include espagnolette locking mechanisms, austenitic stainless steel ironmongery and 20 mm K Glass sealed units to meet thermal insulation standards.
A factory sprayed translucent coating helps protect the frames, bringing out the natural beauty of the wood.
