The Rendezvous Restaurant at Center Parcs in Nottinghamshire has recently been refurbished, and the new kitchen is ventilated by a Silverline Ventilated Ceiling System. Each cooking area is protected by a dedicated
extract chamber, which forms a positive fire barrier with integral grease collection and drainage system. The surrounding ceiling area is made up of insulated, stainless steel ceiling tiles.The Britannia system utilises the void
above the ceiling as a pressured supply air plenum. This ensures that only clean air is passed through the ceiling void, ensuring structure and services, which pass through the void, remain uncontaminated.Cassette type ceiling
systems often use the ceiling void as an extract plenum, which results in a small proportion of carried over grease being spread over the entire void area. This area is difficult to clean, or possibly not cleaned at all, which could
result in a health hazard or fire hazard in the void. Silverline Ventilated Ceiling was developed specifically to address this issue. As the grease is collected and contained within the grease filter housings, the kitchen equipment and the extract ductwork connections can be protected using a proprietary fire suppression system.
