MICHAEL YOUNG AND WOVEN IMAGE CREATE
AN ACOUSTIC MUSE
Woven Image is delighted to collaborate
with industrial designer Michael Young
on a new range of acoustic wall panels.
Notable for their extraordinary patterns
that feature contrasting colour prints
as well as subtle tone-on-tone colours
and pearlescent ink, the Muse range
is perfect for seamless floor-to-ceiling
applications in commercial interiors.
The collection comes in three designs:
Muse Fluid evokes the movement
of the ocean and is available is five
colourways; Muse Cloudy is based
around a series of varying dots that converge to produce a ‘cloud-like’ e ec);
finally the cross-hatch style design Muse Mineral.
The panels, which are 1180mm x 2800mm high untrimmed, are manufactured
from PET, 68 per cent of which has been recycled. They aim to reduce
reverberated noise in commercial spaces – achieving a Noise Reduction
Coe icient rating of 0.30 (no air gap) and up to 0.75 (with 50mm air gap).
According to Young, his studio brought a very particular sensibility to the
product. “We created the aesthetic for Muse Fluid, Cloudy and Mineral using
a so ware program called Grasshopper. By setting up an animated algorithm
we generated a changing two-dimensional pattern and freed the animation at
a particular point to build the final image. In other words, we are not creating
conceptual decoration but technical decoration. The finished results look
wonderfully mathematical.”

MANAGING LEGIONELLA -
PREVENTION AND PROTECTION
If you are an employer or person
in control of premises, you
have a legal responsibility to
identify and manage any risk of
Legionella contamination. For
e ective monitoring a reliable
thermometer kit is essential.
Legionella, like many
bacteria, thrive at certain water
temperatures and therefore,
a wide range of workplaces
are at risk where artificial
water systems exist. A reliable
monitoring process should be
in place anywhere where water
is stored and circulated around a building for example; local authorities, large
businesses, schools and universities, hospitals and nursing/care homes,
housing associations, landlords and hoteliers.
ETI’s Legionnaires’ Temperature Monitoring Kit has been specifically designed
to monitor the temperature of both standing water and the surface temperature
of pipes and tanks that form part of the water system. Each kit contains a
Therma 1 thermometer, three probes - penetration, surface
and a PTFE wire, a tub of Probe-Wipes and a water-resistant
countdown timer, all housed in a robust ABS carrying case.
The Legionnaires’ Temperature Monitoring Kit is available
priced at £137.50 plus VAT direct from www.etiltd.com.

MMA SYSTEM SELECTED FOR RESURFACING
UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK CAR PARKS
The highly versatile and
widely specified TREMCO
MMA Rapid Cure Flexible
System, manufactured
by tremco illbruck, has
been employed by a
specialist sub-contractor to
overcoat two car parks at
the University of Warwick,
following the delivery of a
CPD seminar to a leading
structural engineering
consultancy.
The work on the two exposed top decks, one concrete and the other
previously asphalted, was awarded to Cemplas Limited.
As a result of TREMCO MMA Rapid Cure Flexible System’s proven track
record and overall economic competitiveness compared to the rival product
considered, Cemplas was successful in being awarded a contract to carry out
repairs to car park 8 last year, and then car park 15 this summer.
In total, 2000 m of TREMCO MMA Rapid Cure Flexible System was applied
across car park 8, with a further 3,500 m on car park 15. The build-up sees
TREMCO CP360 flexible waterproofing membrane applied to the prepared
substrate, followed by TREMCO CP215 flexible basecoat. Special fleece is used
to reinforce the joint areas in the deck. This was then over-coated using TREMCO
CP930 flexible waterproof coloured sealer, specified in the grey option. Cemplas
completed the work by applying white lines for parking bays and other areas.
