The millions of people who use Gatwick every year will be kept cool and safe from dazzling sun glare, after 80 motorised roller blinds from Levolux, were installed at the departure gates of Pier 6, a new 11-pier aircraft stand, attached to the North Terminal by a state of the art bridge.
Under the contract with specifier Mike Crossley Consult Ltd, Levolux supplied a series of Internal 780 motorised Roller Blinds, together with control units, to the airport to combat overheating and glare. Each of the bespoke roller blinds can be raised or lowered in groups to three set positions, and all are automatically operated through radio controlled motors.
The landmark Pier 6 is part of a massive investment by BAA to support Gatwick's growth towards accepting 40 million passengers a year.
