Project Details

Requirements

Filtronic required a new controlled environment to support the expansion of their microelectronic manufacturing and testing operations at NETPark. The specification included a mix of production, laboratory, and technical support areas, each requiring a clean, durable, and high-performance internal lining system.

The project involved coordinating across a wide range of interconnected rooms and specialist spaces, demanding accurate panel design and efficient installation to maintain programme commitments.

Solution

The solution utilised 1200m² of Puracore panels, primarily our 17.5mm liner panels throughout the facility, with a smaller modular panel section installed where freestanding capability was required. All panels were supplied in a white food-safe finish, with coving, corner cups, and air scoops incorporated to ensure seamless environmental performance.

Gilcrest also provided early design support to assist IRIS in developing accurate layouts and integrating panels into the facility’s architectural and services requirements.

Results

The installation was completed in line with project expectations, providing Filtronic with a high-quality internal environment suited to their manufacturing and testing needs. The combined use of liner and modular systems delivered a reliable and efficient solution, and early design collaboration ensured consistency and quality across all areas of the facility.

Testimonial

"Having previously completed several successful projects with Gilcrest, Iris Project Solutions Ltd engaged Gilcrest early in the design stage of the project to assist with the supply of their wall lining and modular panels. From the outset, their professionalism, attention to detail and commitment was clear. Throughout the duration of the project, communication was clear and consistent, and the Gilcrest team demonstrated their expertise and knowledge by providing solutions to several challenges. The finished installation provides a clean and consistent appearance across all areas with positive feedback received from the end user. It has once again been another high-quality project, successfully completed with Gilcrest. "
