Aerospace cleanrooms are often specified against a broader set of requirements than particle control alone. Alongside ISO-classified air cleanliness, project teams may need to consider foreign object debris control, electrostatic discharge management, fire performance, high-bay [...]

Manufacturing has always involved a balance between performance, cost, efficiency and consistency. Today, there is another critical factor in that equation: carbon. Businesses across construction, life sciences and industrial production are under increasing pressure to [...]

Cleanroom panel installation plays a critical role in the performance of the finished environment. Even the best cleanroom design depends on the quality of the panel system, the accuracy of the detailing, and the way [...]

Most composite panel manufacturers operate within defined product ranges. Panels are produced in standard dimensions using established constructions designed for repeatable applications. For many projects, this approach works well. Standardisation simplifies manufacturing, reduces lead times, [...]

In manufacturing facilities, noise control is not a single product decision. It is a strategic choice between different acoustic control methods, each designed to solve a specific problem. Acoustic panels, acoustic barriers, and acoustic enclosures [...]

In regulated manufacturing environments, cleanrooms are not simply spaces. They are tightly controlled systems where precision, compliance, and reliability define operational success. At the heart of every effective cleanroom is the cleanroom panel system, and [...]

Modern construction projects are under increasing pressure to deliver lighter structures, higher performance, faster installation, and long-term durability, while also meeting strict regulatory and sustainability standards. As a result, material selection has become a strategic [...]

Cleanrooms and controlled environments sit at the heart of precision-driven industries such as pharmaceuticals, life sciences, electronics, EV battery production, aerospace and high-care food manufacturing. As quality expectations rise and regulatory frameworks tighten, the ability [...]

Designing a laboratory cleanroom is a complex engineering exercise where every construction decision has a direct impact on performance, compliance, and long-term reliability. Beyond meeting regulatory standards, cleanroom environments must maintain consistent contamination control, withstand [...]

How UK Regulations Strengthen the Case for Acoustic Enclosures Like Sonocore Noise is one of the most persistent hazards in industrial environments, yet it is often overlooked because it is not as visible as other [...]

Cleanrooms have evolved far beyond their origins as sterile, sealed spaces. Today’s controlled environments are intelligent, modular, and sustainable ecosystems that enable innovation across industries such as pharmaceuticals, life sciences, semiconductors, and aerospace. As technology [...]

ISO 14644 and EU GMP Cleanroom with Puracore panels Cleanroom standards such as ISO 14644 and EU GMP Annex 1 define the environmental and procedural conditions that keep critical manufacturing areas compliant and contamination-free. Together, [...]

Controlled environments are essential in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries to ensure research integrity, maintain product quality, and safeguard patient safety. Even a single contamination incident can disrupt a study, result in costly batch [...]

My Work Experience at Gilcrest Manufacturing Over the last seven weeks, I have had the opportunity to work with Gilcrest Manufacturing in their sales and marketing department. This work experience has been a highly valuable [...]

In acoustic engineering, performance data isn't just numbers on a chart, it's the foundation of confident specification decisions. When architects and acoustic consultants choose building components for critical environments, we know they need more than [...]

Building Better for a Low-Carbon Future In an industry where precision, performance, and compliance are paramount, sustainability can no longer be treated as a secondary concern. For manufacturers serving the cleanroom industry, environmental responsibility must [...]

In industries where precision, compliance, and contamination control define success, cleanroom panel wall systems are more than just structural components—they are the foundation of operational excellence. As regulations tighten and technologies advance, cleanroom infrastructure must [...]

Cleanrooms require stringent control of environmental factors to ensure the production of high-quality products, so a pristine environment is paramount to the semiconductor manufacturing process. One of the main components in controlling a semiconductor cleanroom [...]

Semiconductor manufacturing is an incredibly delicate process, and as such, requires significant levels of control for key environmental factors to ensure the successful production of semiconductor products. One of the environmental factors that needs to [...]

Our team has made waves at this year's Interphex conference in New York, and we couldn't be more thrilled about the results! Stephen Henagulph, our dynamic Head of Sales, represented Gilcrest with his usual enthusiasm [...]

Given the sensitivity of the semiconductor manufacturing process, we believe it’s important to show a certain level of understanding to give our clients in the semiconductor industry peace of mind as we support them in [...]

Gilcrest Manufacturing have the capabilities to bond glass reinforced plastic sheets directly to our composite panels, including aluminium honeycomb cores, to fabricate strong and lightweight GRP panels. The combination of our high-performance sandwich panels and [...]

It’s that time of year again. Bi-annually Gilcrest’s Aluminium Honeycomb cored panels and the process of manufacturing these are audited by FM Global to ensure they conform with regulations set to achieve the FM Approval Standard 4882, [...]
