QF Ductwork Installation in Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer

Nordfab ducting installation in kitchen builder's factory

When Thwaite Holme, manufacturer and installer of quality fitted kitchens and bedrooms, expanded their premises, they contacted one of our partners for help. Our dedicated partner used Nordfab ducting throughout the new building and enabled the factory layout to be reorganized to optimise workflow, giving Thwaite Holme a 35% energy consumption reduction.

 

Challenges: update of ductwork arrangement

Located in Dalston, UK, Thwaite Holme specializes in high-end, luxury kitchen and bedroom furniture; designing and manufacturing quality, bespoke fitted furniture to suit individual tastes and styles. Working in traditional hardwoods such as oak, walnut, maple and ash, the craftsmanship and attention to detail is obvious in every piece of furniture. Details of this nature are not produced on high-speed CNC machines, but crafted on a vast range of individual machines, in fact more than 40 different machines. 
 

Solution: 35% energy consumption reduction

When the Nordfab partner was contacted they quickly realized after been shown the newly extended factory that the task was going to involve much more than an update of the ductwork arrangement. After a brief inspection of the factory, our partner carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the extraction requirements, including a full energy-saving survey. With around 40 machines requiring extraction, and yet only a small number of them ever in use at any given time, the potential savings were substantial.
