THORN’S OMEGA PRO 2 – A NEW APPROACH
TO LIGHTING CONTROL
The new Omega Pro 2 from Thorn Lighting o ers a new approach to lighting
control as it enables you to a ord the functionality required for your project
today or delay the expenditure
of the materials until a later
date and easily integrate your
lighting control when you are
ready.
In addition, the new solution
enables you to personalise
your lighting just the way
you want it, from the lit
e ect, to how you wish to
control it, to even the colour
temperature of the room. If
you want to take advantage
of the digital services now available to remotely manage the usage of the space,
environmental impact or even apply navigation services within your building,
the new Omega Pro 2 can connect you to the digital future via a clever new
development called Connect Kit or CKIT for short.
Thorn’s patent pending new CKIT accessory range takes a modular approach
to lighting control and is unique because it is a fully interchangeable plug-andplay
system which can allow a master luminaire to be a slave, or a microwave
sensor to become a presence motion detector quickly and easily. These
interchangeable kits o er di erent control options for di erent budgets and can
accommodate simple ON/OFF switching through to wireless scene control or the
lighting in a single room, floor or building.

TESSERA EARTHSCAPE – SEEING THINGS
FROM ABOVE
As the distance from ground level increases,
patterns, textures and colours reveal
themselves upon the canvas of the earth.
And it is this new perspective of the world,
which inspired Forbo Flooring Systems’
design team to develop its new carpet tile
collection: Tessera Earthscape. The heavily
textured composition, combined with its
natural organic design, creates a warm
and inviting surface that will complement
a range of interior trends; creating inviting,
comfortable spaces.
Developed in response to the demand
for a richly textured carpet tile, Tessera
Earthscape benefits from a premium multilevel
loop pile, which provides comfort
underfoot and an opulent textured aesthetic.
The new collection is available in 12 contemporary neutral tones, representing
the natural shades found upon the canvas of the earth.
David Neville, Tessera Product Manager at Forbo Flooring Systems,
commented: “Our new Tessera Earthscape collection has been cleverly
designed, as the 50 x 50cm tiles can be laid monolithic to create a beautiful
seamless finish.
“What’s more, the heavy pile weight will not only be comfortable and pleasing
on the eye for end users, but it also o ers 26 dB impact noise reduction for
minimal noise transmission – helping you to create better indoor environments.”

WEATHERITE WARMS TO GLOBAL LEARNING
Birmingham University proudly
claims to be "the global university at
the heart of an ambitious city" which
is in the midst of a 10-year campus
investment plan costing £1 billion.
The current phase, to be completed in
2021, will see the opening of facilities
worth £365 million and the University
has now announced Phase 2 of its
capital masterplan, which outlines
new projects between 2022 - 2026.
That makes the recent work that
Weatherite Air Conditioning Limited
has undertaken for the University
even more significant: The design,
manufacture, supply and installation
of a new plantroom on their current
project was a great order in itself but it
will also hopefully open the door for many more projects in the future.
Birmingham-based Manstal Limited, a building services company specialising
in electrical and mechanical installations, approached WACL when another
supplier had failed to provide the proactive service that Manstal were looking
for: By comparison, they visited Weatherite and were impressed by our "can
do" attitude, innovative approach and ability to design and build a bespoke
plantroom in two sections and join them on-site.
As ever, o ering the best solution at the right price and ensuring that we
hit tight deadlines was also critical, but were proud to say that a er a tough
examination, Weatherite passed with flying colours!

KOOLDUCT OFFERS MATURE SOLUTION FOR
AWARD-WINNING CHEESEMAKER
The Kingspan KoolDuct System has provided a space-saving ductwork solution
at Lancashire-based cheesemaker, Dewlay Cheese, helping to supply cool air to
three new cheese presses.
To continue the firm’s growth and expansion, they chose to more than double
their number of mechanical cheese
presses. To maintain temperatures
within the presses, EcoDuct installed the
Kingspan KoolDuct System within the roof
of the facility.
Kingspan KoolDuct boards feature
a premium insulation core faced with
aluminium foil which can be easily
assembled into lightweight ductwork
sections up to 2.95 metres in length. This simple fabrication approach was
particularly beneficial on the project due to the restrictions of the site.
The duct construction process and coupling options supported by the
Kingspan KoolDuct System form secure junctions and allow air leakage rates to
be reduced to a fraction of those found with typical sheet metal ductwork.
The combination of excellent thermal performance and airtightness was
particularly important on this project, as the circulated air needed to be
maintained at cool temperatures to protect the dairy produce within the presses.
By limiting heat and air-leakage through the ductwork, cooling and fan sizes
were reduced, cutting overall energy demand. In addition to reducing long-term
running costs, this also fits within the firm’s commitment to sustainability and
energy e iciency exemplified by the 2mW wind turbine which provides power to
the site.
