Client: Torin
Value: £23k
After successful completion of the office refurbishment and reception refurbishment projects Cre8tive Interiors was commissioned by Torin to create a factory refuge area / breakout space along with a new inspection room within the busy manufacturing site in Swindon.
Factory Refuge Area and New Inspection Room
The client had already designated the area at the end of the factory which was being used for storage so our first step was to measure the space.
The client wanted to create a designated refuge area for the staff with a visual separation from the factory without sacrificing the natural light from the large windows along the front of the building. This was achieved by building a half height 1.5m timber stud partition bolted into the concrete floor. Not our normal partition wall that we build, as usually they are built floor to ceiling. We had to use some heavy duty steel brackets to give strength to the wall. New vinyl anti-slip flooring also enhanced the look of the space making it more welcoming to staff.
The height of the roof in that part of the factory was nearly 6m high. A bit of a problem as if we fixed to the roof we would have to use jumbo stud; increasing costs; additional labour; scaffold towers, and taking much longer to build. We discussed the options with the client and decided the best way to build the inspection room was to make it lower, and fix a lid / top over it. This would still create a clean and bright inspection room. We dropped a suspended ceiling at 2.7m inside the walls to enable bright LED panels to be fitted above the inspection area. A pair of double doors were installed for easy access and new grey vinyl floor.

Work in Progress
The new partitions were built very quickly using 3m high partitions for the inspection room and half height timber partitions for the refuge area. All partitions were tape and jointed and painted white for a crisp clean look.
The new inspection room had a pair of double doors painted grey while the refuge area had a new anti-slip vinyl flooring installed in a light grey colour.
The new suspended ceiling used a modern flat white tile with new bright LED panels giving much better lighting for the inspection team.

The finished refuge area was clean and modern. The half height partitions gave a good level of privacy for those eating at a table without sacrificing natural light to the factory.
The new inspection room was clean with bright LED lighting and double doors for easy access.
