Steel framed glazed screens from Fendor Hansen have been employed to emphasise the presence of the University of Southampton?s new swimming pool. In addition to fire resistant internal screens, the package involved the 45m long, 4.6m high curtain wall which is able to cope with wind loads and thermal stresses as well as the possibility of heavy impacts. The main curtain is designed to provide a sympathetic view of the pool area from the street. While the entrance lobby and reception were separated by more glazed screens.

Staff working within a new contact centre are being protected from distraction by systems from FendorHansen. The interior layout of the Saga Contact Centre in Ramsgate has been sub-divided by a rooflit winter garden and a line ararrangement of cellular offices that have been created using Slim Line extrusios. These extrusions provide a 40dB weighted sound reduction and, in some circumstances, 1 hr . fire integrity and insulation under BS476. A member of the project?s design team commented: ?This was quite a demanding contract in terms of the performance characteristics demanded from the glazed partitions defining the separate office spaces. While a transparent construction was required to assist with visual communication and to provide a feeling of openness, we also had to achieve high levels of acoustic insulation and fire protection.? Also playing a part in the fitting out of the centre has been the Swing Line system of doors. These both blended in with the screens and matched their physical performance.
