Gilberts helps expand 'the best spa hotel in the UK'

The Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort – winner of the Best UK Hotel Spa award 2024 – is taking its visitor experiences to the next level, with contribution from Gilberts Blackpool.

The globally renowned venue has invested £16m in a new Woodland Spa thermal experience set within the facility’s 100-acre grounds in the heart of Lancashire. The three-storey building includes a gym, bar, restaurant, treatment rooms, relaxation rooms, indoor swimming pool plus jacuzzi, salt steam room and serenity pool.

To create the perfect atmosphere in each area while addressing the specific ambient conditions required, Petit Singleton Associates (PSA) asked Gilberts Blackpool to supply the air movement supply and extract. 

For ventilation within the internal spaces, Gilberts worked closely with PSA to develop a scheme that predominantly uses a combination of Gilberts’ contemporary-styled louvre faced ceiling diffusers (DGA, four-way blow configuration), linear slot diffusers (GSLS) and high-capacity slot diffusers (HSLS), with separate units for supply and extract. To complement the clean, modern décor, all were finished in either pure white with a 20% gloss finish or matt traffic white.

To ensure the air handling equipment with heat recovery connected to air source heat pumps at optimum efficiency, Gilberts’ plant ventilation louvres in anthracite grey were incorporated into the first- and second-floor facades.
