Ducting from Domus Ventilation, a manufacturer of ventilation systems, has been installed at a new, luxury aparthotel in one of York’s most architecturally renowned streets, Micklegate, as part of the Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system installed throughout the new development.
Situated within York’s central historic core conservation area, Micklegate has been designed with a contemporary interpretation of the medieval streetscape. A new addition to the Supercity Aparthotel portfolio, it features 46 apartment suites designed for luxury, practicality, and comfort, along with a ground floor restaurant and bar.
The MVHR system in place extracts stale air and transfers the heat from it to the fresh air drawn into the building. Pairing with this, Domus Ventilation ducting has exacting tolerances and connects together, aiming for minimal air and moisture loss. The ducting has been designed to work in harmony as part of a system and has been third-party tested.
Domus 204×60 Rigid Duct and fittings have been used throughout the new Micklegate aparthotel, along with Domus sound attenuators. The latter absorbs sound over a range of audible frequencies travelling through ductwork – such as the MVHR fan, external traffic noise, or room-to-room-cross talk.
York-based M&E contractor J. H. Shouksmith & Sons is a long-standing Domus Ventilation customer and was responsible for specifying and installing Domus Ventilation ducting on this project. Senior Contracts Manager of the company, Carl Turner, comments, “We always use Domus ducting on any contract we undertake due to the ease of installation and the large mixture of fittings available.”
Domus Ventilation manufactures its ventilation products for the domestic and light commercial building industry from its production facilities in South Wales.
