Energy efficient ventilation
To resolve the noise issue in central ventilation systems, keeping sound and air pollution outside,
Vectaire Ltd has three new models in its vertical whole house heat recovery range. The Midi, Maxi and
Maxi Plus are now available with integral acoustic attenuation - lined with superior sound deadening
materials for really low sound levels - and tested by BRE. Installation is easy – nothing extra is required
other than the unit itself – they are the quietest, lightest and smallest on the market. Efficiency,
performance and economy remain the same as the standard models. These “BY-AT” models incorporate
summer bypass and frost protection, and commissioning is via an integral LCD. Windows can be kept
closed while these MVHRs provide energy efficient ventilation and a comfortable environment.
Products are SAP PCDB Listed and manufactured in our own factory in the UK to ISO 9001.

Internal steel sliding doors complement high-end design aesthetic
Saving space while providing a contemporary industrial aesthetic, internal steel sliding doors from
Steel Window Association members provide solidity without being visually overpowering. The W20
single glazed profiles ensure good sight lines from one area to another, compared to potentially chunky
proportions required with timber or aluminium, while allowing maximum light transmission. The slender
and robust steel frames are often divided into small panes for aesthetic reasons and are ideally suited to
high-end, design-led residential and commercial schemes.
Choosing an SWA member to manufacture and install your steel windows and doors ensures that you are
receiving the highest standard of fabrication, installation and customer service.

CTD Architectural Tiles supplies bespoke designs to Nando’s
Plymouth
CTD Architectural Tiles is delighted to have once again supplied high quality bespoke tiles to Nando’s for their
most recently opened restaurant in Plymouth. Situated in the new £53 million Drake Circus Leisure development,
the project required particular attention to detail from the specification team. Working closely with Harrison
Design and Harvey Shopfitters, CTD Architectural delivered high-performing and unique designs that resulted in a
distinctive look for the restaurant. Following the brief to deliver designs that reflected the restaurant’s Portuguese
and South African origins, the specification team supplied bespoke floor tiles throughout the project. The Plus
3 range in the Cement Tortora finish tiles were chosen as the floor as they achieved the technical slip resistance
requirements and were the perfect shade of grey to suit the space. Adding a final bespoke touch, the tiles then
had a unique Portuguese blue floral pattern printed onto them to create the main focal point of the restaurant.
