Some of Our Lighting Products for Listed Buildings

It takes experience to get it right.

Vaulted ceilings, supporting arches and unusual beam layout. Without the right experience these common features, alongside lack of daylight, very high ceilings, varied ceiling height, quirky corners and thick walls, can make lighting historic spaces a challenge. All things considered, there’s a wonderful opportunity to maximise the aesthetic value of these magnificent buildings by picking out the features that make them so unique to transform them into modern office spaces. This needs to be done in a way that is sympathetic to the historic fabric of the buildings and reflects the interior design.

Sometimes bespoke is the only way.

From LED tape to complex lighting systems, our vast experience in made to measure and bespoke architectural lighting gives us the edge in heritage projects. When designing the feature lighting for your property, we will consider every detail in our holistic approach. Having gained a complete understanding of the site, the building and the project brief, we will specify a lighting scheme beautifully tailored your needs. All the technical documentation aside, this lighting installation will be illustrated through 3D visualisation, and samples will be provided where appropriate.

Compliance in period properties.

The number of historical buildings occupied by businesses has risen by 150+% in the UK since 2002. The appeal? Beautiful architecture and character, and generous proportions. But historic buildings still have to comply with lighting regulations. In addition to selecting the right light fixtures and lighting systems to fit the building and preserve the period features, we will make sure external lighting and emergency lighting has been designed to meet the latest regulations. Working closely with your project team, we will ensure to meet any lighting standards or accreditation systems of your choice.
