As part of the new build project at one of the top schools in the North East, Glass Installations are proud to have fitted gym mirrors and dance mirrors in the new sports facility at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle upon Tyne. The £8m programme includes a 25m swimming pool, a second sports hall, new fitness suite, aerobic dance studio and weights room, as well as a viewing terrace overlooking the school’s existing sports pitches. The contractors Surgo Construction Ltd approached us to supply and install over 45 square metres of our specialist Image “18” dance and gym mirrors in 3 studios and gyms, to compliment the high quality finish required at this premier school. All work was completed on schedule and in budget.
Image “18” High Impact Mirrors – The Perfect Choice!
Our Image “18” High impact mirror system was the perfect choice for dance and gym mirrors at the new sports facility. They have a modern, sleek style and are fixed mechanically by our purpose made polished Aluminium “J” carriers to the perimeter, together with mastic, thereby avoiding the use of unsightly screw fixings, resulting in a visual quality unobtainable by traditional mirror installers. Image “18” Mirrors are constructed with a unique cross linked Class “A” Safety backing and impact absorbing cushioner that if broken will not shatter. The glass will break cleanly with no shards or slivers and remain intact. This mirror particular system is a popular choice for dance mirrors in a school environment when health and safety are of high importance.
Headteacher of the Royal Grammar School, Dr Bernard Trafford said:
“Our stock is high and our reputation as the premier school in the entire North East goes before us. We are proving all the time that boys and girls who are happy, well cared for and appropriately challenged succeed – and do so at the highest levels. No one can be sure of the shape of education in 2040, but we can ensure that the RGS goes into that future with the very best of facilities.”
