Hodgson
& Hodgson Contributes to Sympathetic Refurbishment of Crewkerne's
Old Brewery
Hodgson
& Hodgson's Reduc acoustic flooring has been used to ensure high quality
sound insulation in the recently completed redevelopment of the Old Brewery
in Crewkerne, Somerset. Builders ROK, together with Mat Gee of Yeovil
based Boon Brown Architects, insisted on the tried and tested Reduc products
for the project, rejecting alternative products offering inferior acoustic
performance.
The
Old Brewery site dates from late Victorian times and was also used for
cheese making before its commercial use ended in 2000. Developers Hydon
planned the project as a mixed social and private housing scheme, with
some of the more modern structures being removed to build new housing
and the remaining buildings converted into luxury apartments. Architects
Boon Brown worked hard to enhance the original features of the building,
whilst providing a thoroughly 21st Century environment for the people
who would choose to make it their home.
Both Reduc Strata Extra and Reduc
Foundation 35 acoustic flooring were used to overlay existing floors
in the brewery development: Strata Extra was used in areas where the finished
flooring was to be carpeted and Foundation 35 where ceramic tiles were
to be laid.
"The
Old Brewery is a very sympathetic redevelopment and we're pleased to have
been involved in it" comments Graham Wadey of Hodgson & Hodgson.
"With such an historic exterior to the building, it was important
that the interior was also of a high quality. The excellent sound insulation
that Reduc flooring provides will help to ensure a high standard of living
for all new residents at the Old Brewery".
Hodgson
& Hodgson's experience over many years has resulted in products that
exceed building regulation requirements, giving architects and builders
alike the confidence to specify H&H for all kinds of demanding projects.
The company provides high quality thermal and acoustic consultancy to
a wide range of clients and offers a total design, manufacture and installation
service throughout the UK.
