In total, there are nearly 50 runs of heating panels in various lengths and widths for a variety of areas from toilets to large multi-use sports halls.

Portway Lifestyle Centre is an £18 million sports, health and wellbeing centre for the whole community, as well as a centre of excellence for people with disabilities.

Working with design-and-build contractor Lorne Stewart and M&E consultant Building Services Design, Solray delivered the radiant panels in phases to assist with site progress.
