Leeds
Arctic Hayes, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of premium quality heating and plumbing supplies, approached T2 Storage Solutions with the desire to design and fit out their empty warehouse and office premises in Leeds.
Office Fit Out
Arctic Hayes requested that the office space adjacent to the warehouse be renovated into a modern and engaging office environment with a core brand emphasis because it was vacant and devoid of character.
To establish modern office spaces, new meeting locations, and director rooms, we built frameless glass partitions alongside solid partitions to segregate the open space. The glass partition allows for natural lighting levels from the windows to light each office space.
Acoustic panels were used at the end of desks to give extra privacy within the open plan office space, providing both visual privacy and passive sound dampening / deafening qualities.
Acoustic feature pendant lights in varying sizes were installed throughout the spaces to complement the acoustic panels, helping to limit ambient noise while providing a practical lighting solution.
A bespoke flooring solution was designed to bring some depth to the otherwise diluted floor, incorporating fractal blue designs to create a point of interest in-between furnishings.
The office space boasts a bespoke paint splatter feature artwork of the Leeds skyline, complete with Arctic Hayes branding and trademark colours.
Mezzanine Floor
The project would include the design and installation of a new 92m2 mezzanine floor with a multi-purpose room built into the underside, composed of a combination of double skin steel partitioning and clear laminate windows. To comply with building regulations, the mezzanine floor has a 1 hour fire rating to the underside.
Handrails have been erected around the mezzanine edge, which meet with a newly installed pallet safety gate to help carry pallets safely from the ground level to the mezzanine level.
To gain access to the mezzanine floor level (finished floor height of 2900mm), two straight flight staircases have been installed.
Pallet Racking
To support our client’s expanding business, we devised a space layout that would give optimum storage capacity while still providing enough space to safely allow the use of forklift trucks.
We fit one single entry run and five double entry runs of racking into the new warehouse space, for a total of 11 runs and a final pallet capacity of 1132 pallets over 137 pallet bays.
Since the warehouse space utilies forklifts on a daily basis, we installed steel safety barriers to segrigate the warehouse storage from footfall areas and additional protective racking barriers around the supporting beams of the racking uprights. This aids in not only protecting the pallets and the forklift truck but also meet current H & S Regulations.
