Solinear excels on Royal Hospital transformation
Posted on 18/01/2018
Solinear, the UK’s leading louvre and solar shading supplier, has helped transform the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, affectionately known as ‘Sick Kids’.
Now, it’s in the process of relocating to a purpose-build £150m complex fit for the demands of twenty-first century healthcare – Solinear was challenged to design, manufacture and install louvre and ventilation products that offered outstanding performance, while blending in with the project’s quirky, child-friendly aesthetic.
Every product Solinear supplies is entirely bespoke – and this instance, the company designed brightly coloured units without any sharp edges to fit the friendly, welcoming feel the architect wanted for the building’s recreational area.
Timing was another key factor Solinear had to take into consideration. To ensure ease of transportation and installation, the firm designed the products to be modular - the component parts were manufactured off-site, then lifted into place by crane, a process which Solinear managed itself to minimise hassle for the client.
This meant the installation process took just a week. If done the conventional way, it would’ve took three.
Solinear Managing Director Tony Dwyer commented: “With Solinear, nothing is off the shelf. Every product is designed from scratch. On this project, we demonstrated the huge benefits that come from working with experts in their field, capable of designing bespoke products to your exact specifications.”
“We were delighted to be able to contribute to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children – and we’re confident that the products we installed will continue to provide an outstanding level of performance for many years to come.”
