Domus Ventilation rigid ducting has been installed at a new, luxury aparthotel in York’s central historic core conservation area.
The installation is part of the Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system installed throughout the new development.
The development is located on one of York’s most architecturally renowned streets, Micklegate, which has been designed as a contemporary interpretation of the medieval streetscape. A new addition to the Supercity Aparthotel portfolio, it features 46 beautifully designed apartment suites designed for luxury, practicality and comfort, along with a ground floor restaurant and bar.
Contributing to the comfort of guests, the MVHR system in place extracts stale air and transfers the heat from it to the fresh air drawn into the building. However, an MVHR can only perform to its best ability when paired with suitable, quality ducting.
Domus Ventilation ducting has exacting tolerances and connects together for minimal air and moisture loss and maximum system efficiency. The ducting has been designed to work in harmony as part of a system and has been third party tested for end-to-end system performance. Domus 204×60 Rigid Duct and fittings have been used at the new Micklegate aparthotel throughout, along with Domus sound attenuators. The latter absorbs sound over a range of audible frequencies travelling through ductwork, such as the MVHR fan, external traffic noise or room-to-room-cross talk, making it an ideal addition in a hotel.
York based M&E contractor J. H. Shouksmith & Sons was responsible for specifying and installing Domus Ventilation ducting on this project. “We always use Domus ducting on any contract we undertake due to the ease of installation and the large mixture of fittings available,” commented Carl Turner, senior contracts manager. Carl was also impressed with the service provided by Domus Ventilation: “It’s very good and any queries or information required is answered quickly.”
