Cala Homes, Falkirk

The Project

Cala Homes, a luxury home builder, sought a dynamic and premium office space for its East of Scotland team. To achieve this vision sustainably and cost-effectively, material reuse was a top priority.

GM Projects rose to the challenge by repurposing existing on-site materials, significantly reducing waste and aligning with Cala’s environmental goals. This innovative collaborative approach not only minimized the project’s carbon footprint but also showcased sustainable construction practices in action.

With a strong focus on people and the environment, the project’s design heavily emphasized both acoustics and aesthetics. Komfort’s Polar 30 Single Glazed and Polar 100 Double Glazed partitioning, along with their acoustic Sonik doors featuring Tech Panels, were chosen to meet these critical specifications, ensuring a comfortable and visually appealing workspace.

Complexity of installation
Prioritising people and the environment, the project’s system specifications heavily emphasised both acoustics and aesthetics. Helping to achieve this brief, Komfort’s Polar 30 Single Glazed and Polar 100 Double Glazed partitioning and acoustic Sonik doors with Tech Panels were selected.

Polar 100 was specified as part of the design due it to its acoustic ratings of up to 53dB (Rw); providing a seamless and high-end finish solution that doesn’t compromise on performance.

To complement the design and performance of the Polar systems, Komfort’s Sonik 70 full height doors were installed. The Sonik door range has been designed for ease of installation and integration with all of Komfort’s partitioning systems. This system also ensures high acoustic insulation is maintained through the use of an automatic drop-down seal.
