The Lumen & The Spark, Newcastle
Project Name: The Lumen / The Spark, Newcastle
Client: Sir Robert Mcalpine for Legal and General
Product: 700 Silent Gliss 4830s Roller Blinds across two buildings
Located on Newcastle’s Helix Science Park Development, The Spark and The Lumen buildings were built by Sir Robert Macalpine for Legal and General.
Both buildings are commercial office spaces with The Spark reaching 12 floors and the Lumen reaching 9 floors.
Bartell were awarded the contract to supply and install Silent Gliss 4930 roller blinds throughout both buildings. Silent Gliss 1% Verascreen fabric was chosen allowing the natural daylight to flow into the office whilst also reducing glare. Installing blinds throughout the offices allows the businesses inside to work effectively throughout the day without any issues from the sun.
Hampton by Hilton, Blackpool
Project Name: Hampton by Hilton, Blackpool
Client: HBH
Product: Curtains on Silent Gliss triple track
Hampton by Hilton Blackpool underwent a multi-million pound extension which opened in April 2023. The extension doubled the footprint of the building, adding 75 bedrooms to the original 130 as well as larger kitchen and dining areas. Designed by Tim Groom architects, Hampton by Hilton’s extension was one of the key developments for Blackpool in 2023 helping the local councils’ improvement strategy for the town.
Bartell were awarded the contract to manufacture and install curtains to all new areas of the extension. We manufactured voiles and triple pinch pleat curtains in Vescom fabric which we fitted onto Silent Gliss triple track. Triple track allows you to create a layering effect by hanging curtains and voiles on the same track. This is especially perfect for hotels where voiles allow privacy to be achieved 24/7 with the added blackout layer of curtains to allow guests to sleep whenever they wish.
The Keel, Liverpool
Project Name: The Keel, Liverpool
Client: The Keel
Product: Curtains on Silent Gliss 1280 Roller Glider Track
The Keel is a block of 240 apartments in Liverpool overlooking the River Mersey. Converted from the former HMRC offices in 2015, the build to rent apartments range in size from studio to three bedrooms. After winning the ‘Best Place to Live in Liverpool’ award in 2021, it underwent a makeover to create a communal area for residents.
Shortly after this, Bartell were enlisted to replace all existing roller blinds in the apartments with Curtains. We manufactured and installed the curtains with Silent Gliss 1280 Roller Glider Track. We completed the installs on a rolling basis from 2021 and completed the final apartment in 2023.
