Village Hotel, Elstree, London

LEVOLUX KEEPS VILLAGE COOL
The new VILLAGE hotel in London’s Elstree, a recent addition to the hotel chains’ ‘Premium’ range, has a reputation to uphold, for first class, modern comfort. Levolux has ensured that staff and guests at the stunning hotel, stay elegantly cool with a state of the art 9000 Fin system that delivers the perfect blend of form and function.
In addition to contoured Ventilation Louvres used to screen plant areas at high level, Levolux fitted its 9000 Fin Solar Shading system across the hotel’s entrance and to provide shading to glazed areas along each elevation of the building. The Levolux 9000 Fin system comprises of vertical stacks of horizontal 300mm aluminium Aerofoil Fins fitted to a series of ‘H’ posts, also supplied and fitted by Levolux.
This extremely efficient external Solar Shading system, developed by Levolux, reduces solar heat gain by as much as 95%, helping to minimise the hotel’s reliance on expensive, energy sapping air conditioning.
Finished with a co-ordinated dark grey powder coating, the Levolux Solar Shading system and contoured Ventilation Louvres combine to create a sleek, modern contrast against the glass backdrop – highlighting the creative aesthetic potential Levolux’s Solar Shading products offer architects.
Like all Solar Shading systems from Levolux, the Aerofoil Fins and Ventilation Louvres used on the hotel are backed by the company’s design, manufacture and installation package.
Having opened its doors to the general public, the hotel is proving to be a popular choice, with extensive facilities including 120 bedrooms, a 25 metre swimming pool, a state of the art health and fitness club, and a Verve Grill restaurant.
