Working With Architects

Norwood have been working with Architects for years, with some of our most innovative projects being developed in collaboration with leading UK practises. We deliver compliant and performance-driven fully demountable partitioning systems, tailored to the specific needs of each client. With a deep understanding of cleanrooms, laboratories, advanced manufacturing and commercial spaces, we can provide support and advice to bring visions to reality.

What we do

Norwood design, manufacture and install demountable steel and glass partitions, doors, ceilings and associated accessories. All our products are prefabricated in our modern factory, based in Stockport, UK. Utilising our partitioning systems can provide enormous benefits to your projects, helping to meet the stringent specifications and quality requirements, reduce delivery times and provide flexible and easily adaptable spaces. Our products have been extensively tested, achieving industry-leading air permeability, acoustic and fire ratings, as well cGMP and MHRA compliance. Our sustainable materials selection and efficient manufacturing practices can help to achieve BREEAM certification. Additionally, our systems can effectively incorporate other products.

Our cleanroom system comprises pre-fabricated modular, load-bearing, air return partition walls, walk-on-ceilings and custom-made door sets.

 

Our standard sealed modular wall panels are manufactured from high grade galvanised steel with an antibacterial vinyl applied to the face. Alternate products such as stainless steel can also be accommodated if required. The antibacterial finish on our pre coated steel, kills bacteria on contact and the substrate removes any chance of corrosion when used in accordance with the supplier’s warranty.

 

Cleanroom systems can be tailored to suit individual requirements, with panel widths of 300mm, 500mm and 1000mm, these can be solid steel, single or double glazed panels, and or incorporated with integrated services if required. We also offer various door styles and finishes complete with door hardware to complete the cleanroom. Module widths, heights and partition thickness are designed project specific and are tailored to suit the client’s specifications. 

 

The Norwood cleanroom partition system is a fully relocatable and insulated system, consisting of prefabricated panel elements with a single line connection. Walls can be erected with access to only one side and require no special tools, which allows fast and secure installation.

Project 1

JLR planned a £500m investment for their first in-house engine manufacturing facility. Opened in 2014 by Her Majesty, it currently produces Ingenium petrol and 400,000 diesel engines a year. Norwood worked with Interserve when delivering this ground-breaking project, which was the most significant project Norwood had ever undertaken, demonstrating the company’s growth and success. The overall project won the Regeneration award at the  the RICS Awards Grand Final.

The main challenge was to provide a 120Min fire-rated demountable compartment wall at eleven meters high. Norwood teamed up with Interserve, developing their 200mm Mediline system, which was subjected to excessive laboratory testing to achieve the 120Min Fire Rated certification. In addition to solid partitions, Norwood provided a 90Min fire-rated nine-meter high glazed partition wall which provided a viewing gallery from the grand reception onto the manufacturing floor.
