Soler & Palau’s quiet revolution

Soler & Palau, fan

Soler & Palau claims to be the first fan manufacturer in the UK to be awarded the Quiet Mark of approval from the Noise Abatement Society given to manufacturers of the quietest products on the European market. The accreditation applies to a number of S&P ducted, commercial and bathroom/shower fans — all of which were subjected to rigorous testing and the results verified by the Association of Noise Consultants.

Managing director Eugene Scotcher explains, ‘S&P invests heavily in R&D to address key issues that affect the ventilation industry and its customers. Some time ago we recognised that noise from ventilation systems can be a major issue. The award of the Quiet Mark shows that our efforts in this area have borne fruit.’
