  1. Dawnvale Bar Design Using Translucent Marble Bar Panels

    Leave a Comment

    Great products can only be as good as the designer. We are lucky to work alongside and supply some of the UK’s most experienced commercial designers and installers who choose to use our bar panels in their projects.

    This latest installation from Dawnvale Hospitality Solutions is a domestic project. Dawnvale primarily design and install bars and furniture for commercial projects including the likes of TGI Fridays, the Radisson and even the Hilton. However, they also offer a design and installation service for high end domestic properties.

    The project involved a full refurb and build of a home bar, with the client wanting something a bit different for the bar fronts. The designers at Dawnvale recommended using a Versital translucent marble look bar panel, with back lighting for a striking effect.

    The mix of the chunky black high gloss bar top and back lit bar panels works especially well together.

    To create this look Dawnvale chose bar panels from Versital in ‘Autumn Onyx’ that are available made to size specification and to order. This beautiful marble finish has a translucent quality that can be backlit. The choice of backing light colour can also change the look of the marble panels to suit your theme and clients taste.

    There are 8 different translucent marble options available which can be backlit for use on bar fronts or as display areas. As a bonus, the panels are also 100% waterproof, stain resistant and very easy to clean. Ideal for the home, or a busy public bar area.

    Versital decorative solid surface panels are also available as a non translucent option in a wide range of colours, including granites, marbles, solid colours and sparkles.

    Versital’s latest bar installation is at Shropshire’s legendary entertainment venue – The Buttermarket.  The Buttermarket has made its’ return to its rightful place as Shropshire’s premier entertainment venue and been returned to its former glory.

    This beautiful nightclub has undergone a major refurbishment, opening in March 2012.  And the revamp isn’t over yet.  August this year will see the opening of stage two of the venue, with a large area upstairs for live music staging, as well as a dining area.

    Versital bar tops in ‘Glacier Pearl’ from the Reflect range were used through the venue, from the entrance reception, through to the main hall and private function rooms.

    “We are really pleased with the colour choice we went for with Versital; it contrasts nicely with the original fabric of the building. We have also chosen to go with different themed and coloured rooms throughout the venue, and the bar tops look great in all of them.  I love the gorgeous subtle sparkle.  Really looking forward to completing phase two!”
    Grant Lees – Manager at The Buttermarket

    Much of the venue has traditional elements with fabulous red brick walls which contrast with Versital beautifully. Versital worked closely with The Buttermarket to advise them on the best use of the product, with sizes, colour and specification.

    “I’m so pleased I had the opportunity to see this stunning venue for myself.   They have done a fabulous job of creating a modern nightclub venue using the latest technology, whilst remaining sympathetic to the original fabric of the building. Versital’s bar tops are a beautiful and practical edition to the venue, being hard wearing enough to deal with the traffic they are already experiencing. We look forward to working with them again in the future.”

  5. Bar panels a big hit in ‘Tangoed’.

    Club and Bar Panels proving to be a hit on the Night Scene!

    Versital has long established a reputation for manufacturing beautiful bar tops and public washroom products for commercial installers.  One of the latest trends has been the move towards using Versital paneling for front of bar panels in nightclubs and wine bars.

    This example shows a fantastic use of this year’s colour, Orange, to create a striking look for this golf club.  Here panels in ‘Tangoed’ from the Reflect range have been used to great effect to create this beautiful look.

    Pantone announced at the end of last year that Bright and burnt Orange and Tangerine were to be the colours of 2012.  In which case Woll golf course pictured here couldn’t be more on trend!

    Here they have used Versital’s panels to creat a striking and trendy look for their wine bar using the ‘Reflect’ sparkle finish in ‘Tangoed’ and used LED’s to light it up to great effect. Versital panels, like the other products in Versital’s range are waterproof, stain resistant and can be refurbished should the need arise. This makes them ideal for everything that can be thrown at them in the bar environment.

    “We are absolutely delighted with the end result and will definitely be recommending Versital!”
