Microsoft and stadium projects specify Medite and SmartPly
1 October 2010Medite MDF and SmartPly OSB have been used in two major Irish building projects – the Aviva Stadium in Lansdown Road and Microsoft’s first EMEA data centre outside the US.
The stadium used Medite MR for bar areas, catering areas, as well as for shelving and retail unit fronts. SmartPly 11mm OSB was used as a temporary protective layer over fair faced block walls in high circulation areas during the construction phase.
Microsoft’s new Grange Castle data centre in Dublin used pre-coated SmartPly SiteProtect for hoarding and security applications. Medite FR MDF was also specified throughout key areas of the building.
“Our proximity to the UK and Europe means that our exports are a success story in themselves, but seeing such a range of products from both Medite and SmartPly perform in local high profile Irish projects is very rewarding,” said Geoff Rhodes, marketing and business development director for Coillte Panel Products, Medite and SmartPly’s parent company.
