Three FIS members collaborate on a seamless ceiling installation at the Butlins Centre Stage building in Minehead.

Cipriani Profilati, SIG Insulation & Dry Lining, and C&I South-West (C&I), all FIS members, recently collaborated on the refurbishment of the Centre Stage building at Butlins Minehead, one of the South-West’s leading holiday resorts.

The project involved a complete refurbishment of the venue to enhance the customer experience and create a vibrant, contemporary entertainment space designed specifically for Butlins’ family audience. Local subcontractor C&I was appointed as the key interiors contractor for the fit-out. The project was led from start to finish by Senior Surveyor Phil Latta, who selected distribution partner SIG Insulation & Dry Lining to support the delivery of the interior elements as part of the extended supply chain.

The refurbishment called for a new ceiling and SIG Insulation & Dry Lining, Sitefix Ceiling Grid, manufactured by Cipriani Profilati, was selected as the preferred solution for the installation. The black ceiling was chosen to replace the existing feature and was further enhanced to create a more modern look through the addition of feature bulkheads.

At 5,000m², this represented a substantial installation for C&I. Ease of installation and the fully demountable design of the grid were therefore key factors in selecting the Sitefix ceiling grid
for this important project. The integrity of the Sitefix ceiling grid is a key element, particularly in the event of a fire or a catastrophic incident at the venue. The Sitefix ceiling grid is typically 20% quicker to install, with integral clips enabling faster fitting and helping to save time on the project. This efficiency was especially important, as the project had a strict deadline to meet ahead of the start of the Easter and summer season.

Fully compatible with any 600×600 ceiling tile, the Sitefix ceiling grid was installed to house a mineral fibre ceiling tile. With the majority of the ceiling tiles specified in black, the 24mm black Sitefix ceiling grid in black provided the ideal solution, creating a seamless finish that was designed to go unnoticed.

Speaking about the Sitefix ceiling grid used on the project, Marcus Coates, UK Director for Cipriani Profilati, said: “In addition to the grid being fully compatible with standard-sized ceiling tiles, its
strength was also a key factor in choosing Sitefix ceiling grid for this installation. The Sitefix ceiling grid is manufactured using internationally patented technology, delivering a unique product in the UK ceiling grid market.”

Marcus concluded by saying: “The finished ceiling will provide a complete solution for years to come and is in keeping with the contemporary entertainment space required by Butlins and its customer base.”
