Spaceway soundproofed mezzanine for Bott

Spaceway uses soundproofed mezzanine to provide Bott with new offices

When UK 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 FlooriTallandOcirc; 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 154 square metres of soundproofed space.

Once the mezzanine had been erected, Spaceway set about creating the new offices.

To kick off the project, 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.

Windows were fitted into the outside wall and into the Komfort Jumbo portioning to provide natural light.

Further Komfort partitioning was installed to create a drawing office and meeting room and oak doors were fitted to provide access to the new and existing offices.

To complete the project Spaceway installed an air conditioning and ventilation system, electrics, lighting and floor coverings.

"Spaceway is a truly professional company and the mezzanine is a excellent concept", said Andy Poole, Engineering Manager at Bott.

"Our employees working in the new offices above the workshop are completely oblivious of any noise from below".

Spaceway's Storage and Consumable Division, SAC, has been a customer of Bott since Spaceway purchased the company in 1997.

Aware of the company's excellent reputation for office fit outs, Bott had no hesitation in reciprocating SAC's longstanding support and awarding the contract to Spaceway.

"Spaceway is extremely skilled and has great technical expertise which makes them a highly respected supplier", concluded Andy Poole.

"Our employees are delighted with their new, bright and airy offices".
