...to understand

Located in the heart of London, the Royal Academy of Arts is an independent, privately funded institution led by eminent artists and architects.
Their main purpose is to promote the creation, enjoyment, and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education, and debate.
Having secured £12.7m lottery funding, David Chipperfield Architects (DCA) took the lead in the refurbishment.
The main development projects involve linking the main Burlington House building to the gardens via a link bridge.
The academy completed an upgrade to modernise its facilities and displays.

...to solve

As part of the refurbishment within the building, the academy management team, along with DCA, decided that the newly modernised exhibition space required an equally practical and stylish heating solution.
Metropolitan Services were contacted by DCA to carry out appointed electrical work for the project. Turnbull & Scott was contacted to provide the heating solution required – our Heavy Duty Tubular Heater (CFT).

“We were very impressed with the quality of the product in both its construction and finish. T&S customer service and technical advice were of a high standard and could not fault their accommodation to the design features of the product. We would recommend T&S to any of our clients and T&S are now one of our approved suppliers.”

...to deliver

Turnbull & Scott adapted our UK-manufactured CFT to provide versions in a matt white powder-coated finish.
This solution is very stylish with the finned tube radiator while simultaneously providing a 1kW heating output as required.
Metropolitan Services installed a BMS system that allows control of the area’s temperatures between 10°C and 30°C.
Turnbull & Scott accommodated the fitting of safety cut-outs as requested and provided by Metropolitan Services.
