IKEA, Edmonton

Ikea's architectural philosophy reflects Scandinavian culture with its effective and honest use of materials, and simple and careful detailing. Encompassing this ethos SAS metal ceiling systems were combined with insulation for energy efficiency within the undercroft car parks. The ceilings create a sophisticated, welcoming atmosphere for customers, so they feel they are within an interior space, while the incorporation of insulation ensured the U-Value required by Part L of the Building Regulations (2000) for the surface between a heated occupied commercial space and an external car park was met.
