Hotel: Helping contemporary complement heritage, Hamilton supports renovation of Lithuanian waterfront hotel.

Known for its quality products, service and sensitivity in the renovation of heritage properties, Hamilton Litestat was tasked with creating, supplying and installing a scheme of switch plates and sockets.

Hamilton’s project team visited the development to assess the requirements and get a real feel for the building. It was soon realised that several of the sockets would need to be fitted to the structure’s historic masonry and beams, which have been carefully preserved.

To avoid cutting into these to seat the sockets, Hamilton suggested using surface mount boxes. The client was looking for something more than standard off-the-shelf boxes so Hamilton went above and beyond, designing and manufacturing bespoke wooden surface mount boxes, which were sprayed in the appropriate colour using Hamilton’s house spray department. This tailor-made solution meant that the sockets could be mounted on top of the beams and masonry. It also provided a flexible solution, as if the socket or its fitting needs changing in the future, it can be easily.

To give the building a sense of purity, only natural materials were selected for the interior refurbishment: wood, glass, stone and metal. For the switch plates and sockets, Hamilton selected its Sheer CFX® range to blend effortlessly and seamlessly with this concept. A popular style in the Hamilton range, the Sheer CFX® suite has a modern, minimalist feel of quality with concealed fixings thanks to Hamilton’s patented four-point CFX® clipping system. A Satin Stainless finish was selected, linking with the building’s history of metal trading and other structures in the vicinity, such as the swing footbridge and nearby towering old boathouse frame.

Toggle switch plates were chosen to complement the industrial heritage of the building, with both European sockets and USB charging ports incorporated for guests’ ease of use. UK sockets were also installed to provide international guests with additional power options
