The Macallan Distillery

CEG worked alongside MHSL to deliver a bespoke floor grille solution for The Macallan Distillery, one of Scotland’s most prestigious whisky production facilities.

The project required custom manufactured perforated floor grilles designed to integrate seamlessly within the architectural finish while providing the required ventilation performance.

Working closely with MHSL and RCM Products, CEG provided technical support from the early stages of the project through to manufacture and delivery.

The project presented a number of challenges due to the complexity of the floor grille runs and the requirement to achieve a high quality architectural finish within a flagship facility. The issue the client faced was a floor grille that allowed for the safety of a stiletto to walk across as it was a public area.

Accurate site measurements were critical to ensure each grille section was manufactured to suit the exact floor openings and surrounding finishes.

Due to the bespoke nature of the installation, a standard off the shelf solution was not suitable.

To ensure the final installation met the project’s requirements, CEG carried out two separate site visits to obtain detailed measurements and verify critical dimensions.

Working alongside MHSL and the project team, we reviewed the installation requirements and coordinated closely with RCM Products throughout the design and manufacturing process.

Prior to manufacture, product samples were supplied to site for review and approval, allowing the client team to assess the appearance, finish and suitability of the proposed solution before production commenced.

Following approval, RCM Products manufactured a series of bespoke perforated floor grilles specifically tailored to the project requirements.

The bespoke floor grille package was successfully delivered, providing a ventilation solution that met both the technical and architectural requirements of the project.

Through detailed site surveys, sample approvals and close collaboration between CEG, MHSL and RCM Products, the project team was able to minimise installation risk and ensure the final product was manufactured accurately to suit the complex floor layout.

The project highlights CEG’s ability to provide more than product supply alone, offering technical support, site coordination and bespoke solutions for challenging applications.
