Air supply with Estra damper grilles

The prestigious Forum Sintra shopping centre with a floor area of 55,000 m² was opened in April 2011. It goes without saying that a pleasant indoor climate and guaranteed fire safety are important aspects here. After all, shoppers should feel comfortable and safe! Our partner in Portugal, Exuvent, provided the centre with 26 thermally insulated Estra damper grilles so that the air supply for SHEVS and daily ventilation is guaranteed.

In addition to comfort, aesthetics naturally play an important role in the prestigious Forum Sintra. The Estras had to be matched as closely as possible to the glass façades of the various entrances. For this purpose, the Estras are equipped with special 8-6-5.5.1. Coollite glazing with a high insulation value. In addition, the frames are powder-coated and anodised in matching SAPA colours.

 


Fast assembly time

One particular detail worth noting was the tight assembly time available to Exuvent. Indeed, the time pressure in the execution phase was so great that work had to be done day and night, including at weekends. But the effort paid off: upon delivery, Exuvent was the only party whose installation functioned 100%!

Centre for over 621,000 people

Forum Sintra has 182 shops – including a Pingo Doce supermarket, H&M, Primark, and New Yorker – spread over three floors. In addition, visitors can also come to the centre for recreational purposes. For example, it has a food court with 20 restaurants and a seven-screen Castello Lopes cinema.

The centre focuses mainly on the more than 621,000 people who live in Sintra and the surrounding towns.
