Dalmore Distillery, deep in the Scottish Highlands, has opened the doors on its new £1 million ‘one of a kind’ visitor experience. The distillery has been producing its iconic single malt whisky since 1839 and visitors to the distillery are taken ‘on a sensory journey where they can embrace the unique atmosphere, sounds and smells’. Twinfix were delighted to be involved in this project.
Designers JAM Studios in Inverurie, who were working with Dalmore Distillery, originally contacted us after looking at our website. They wanted to install internal partitions in the Still Room and the Locker Room at the Distillery which would enhance ‘the visitor experience’. After discussing their requirements with our team, they were confident that Twinfix Lexan Thermoclick, our profile-free vertical glazing façade system, met their requirements.
Twinfix Lexan Thermoclick is an interconnecting façade system that eliminates the need for vertical profiles, thus saving costs and enhancing aesthetics. The unique X structure of the 40mm thick 4-wall multiwall polycarbonate glazing provides exceptional rigidity and thermal insulation. It provides effective and attractive privacy glazing and is installed by being simply and quickly clicked together within a powder coated aluminium frame.
Two internal screens were required for this project; one at 7900mm wide x 9500mm high and the other at 7000mm wide x 1950mm high. Both partitions were specified with white frames and clear glazing. Twinfix supplied the installers, Robertson Highland from Elgin, with the Twinfix Lexan Thermoclick system and worked with them throughout the project to ensure the installation went smoothly.
Backlit with red lights, the Thermoclick screens look amazing and definitely add an extra dimension to the visitors’ experience of this distillery.
