As we approach what promises to be another very busy Ramadan period, Andrews Sykes Climate Rental has been busy helping customers with an array of seasonal requirements – including some particularly niche applications!

Shisha bars have long been embedded in Middle Eastern culture, albeit their origins are disputed, with the popularity of such facilities normally peaking during the months of April and May.

Luxury hotel requests cooling solution to assist tile laying process

Posted Date 30/12/2021

Interior tile installations have very precise temperature requirements, with the thin-set mortar and grouting particularly susceptible to improper conditions. Curing times are greatly affected by extreme temperatures, and this can also damage an adhesive’s properties which in turn may lead to bond failure.

For this reason, a luxury hotel in Dubai recently approached Andrews Sykes Climate Rental prior to laying the tiles inside a number of swimming pools on site.

The hotel has several premium suites – each with their own individual pools – and these were all subject to an intricately designed tiling pattern that necessitated our assistance. read more
