HOWE GREEN SUPPLIES FLOOR ACCESS COVERS
FOR INSPIRATIONAL UNIVERSITY BUILDING
Over fifty Howe Green 5000 Series Light Duty Aluminium and
7500 Series Medium Duty Aluminium Floor Access Covers
were supplied for the award winning Collaborative Teaching
Laboratory (CTL) at the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston
Campus.
The building design was meticulously detailed and the
materials used were chosen to minimise maintenance and
enhance the life expectancy of the building.
The Howe Green aluminium floor access covers were supplied
to main contractor Morgan Sindall Construction and were
specified by Sheppard Robson. The covers were installed by
the team from Morgan Sindall Construction and infilled with
ceramic floor tiles.
In addition to ceramic tiles the 5000 Series and 7500 Series
can be used with marble, terrazzo, concrete, resin, wood or
parquet flooring. The 5000 Series is suitable for use in areas
with pedestrian traffic and the load performance of the 7500
Series is for cars and light delivery vehicles up to 5 tonnes
pneumatic tyre load.
The access covers can be removed, safely and easily, for
maintenance purposes with the use of lifting keys or Howe
Green Access Cover Skates. The access covers fit perfectly
flush with their surround to avoid the risk of hazard from slips
or trips.
Available as a single cover, a duct run or as a multipart unit
the 5000 and 7500 Series can be supplied in standard sizes
from stock. If a custom size is required it can be manufactured
to order at the Howe Green manufacturing facility in
Hertfordshire.
