CHALLENGE
Jackton Primary School, in East Kilbride, Glasglow, recently opened its doors for the very first time in August 2023. The new school provides fantastic facilities such as 17 classrooms, a gym hall, dining hall and four Additional Support Needs (ASN) classrooms to accommodate children with extra needs.
In designing and building the new school, South Lanarkshire Council required a cost-effective ceiling tile solution that would energise and inspire those in the building, as well as uphold acoustic standards for educational settings as set out in Building Bulletin 93 (BB93). BB93 provides performance standards and acoustic criteria for schoolrooms in England and includes guidance on noise limits.
SOLUTION
South Lanarkshire Council chose to specify Zentia’s product ranges Serene hA and Aruba. Serene hA offers a stylish, white ceiling tile solution whilst providing high sound absorption properties. Aruba provides a classic and popular tile solution that can be used in a range of spaces, offering a range of 35 colours and square/triangle tiles, as well as outstanding acoustic performance.
Installation began in June 2023, by ceiling contractor Roskel Contracts, a member of the specialist contractor programme Pinnacle by Zentia. As a Pinnacle Partner, Roskel Contracts had access to our sustainable ceiling tile off-cut recycling scheme, which enhanced the overall sustainability credentials of the project.
Not only was Zentia chosen for its range of high-quality, versatile and reliable products, but as a Pinnacle Partner, Roskel Contracts was also confident that we would provide a cost-effective option.
