About 40 Grosvenor Place

The landmark building 40 Grosvenor Place, Belgravia (also known as 4ORTY) has recently undergone a grade A refurbishment to transform it into a high-performing, contemporary, and prestigious workplace.  

Designed to deliver exceptional performance as well as occupant wellbeing, the six-storey redevelopment offers more than 81,000 sq ft of flexible office accommodation.  

The project targeted global-leading BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and WELL Core ‘Gold’ certifications.   

Central to achieving these standards has been the use of Tate’s raised access flooring system. The final floor scheme combined reused panels and lower embodied carbon materials with proven performance, optimum ventilation and safety for optimal occupant comfort levels.

Hybrid Raised Access Floor System from Tate

The original flooring in the building was installed in 1999 by Tate’s US business when it was specified by HOK architects. During the refurbishment, the floor system was fully replaced with Tate’s latest hybrid scheme designed to optimise sustainability and functionality.  

The new specification includes 6,245 m² of Tate’s award-winning RMG600+ Airseal panels, manufactured with more than 91% recycled content.    

The floor scheme also features 1,250 m² of Reuse raised access floor panels that had been reclaimed. 

Together, these two systems form a hybrid specification that directly contributes to a significant reduction in the building’s embodied carbon levels.  

The RMG600+ contains 91% recycled material and is PSA: 2021 Standard approved while the reuse of selected panels further minimised virgin material demand and lowered waste. 

Selecting Reuse Panels

All reused panels within Tate’s floors are previously inspected by our in-house contracting team and validated for reuse on new projects. 

These panels will be covered by a limited warranty of up to 25 years when installed with a new pedestal system by Tate’s in-house team.

Floors Offer Maximum Comfort & Efficiency 

Tate’s latest flooring scheme for 4ORTY aligns with BSRIA guidance and ensures robust fire protection as well as optimal airflow management.  

The RMG600+ Airseal system, which was specified for levels 2–5 of the building, uses neoprene gaskets to minimise air loss from the underfloor plenum. This improves the efficiency of the air distribution system and ventilation while helping to lower energy consumption across the building and thereby supporting LEED and BREEAM ratings.  

Fire Barriers were installed in the underfloor plenum in line with UK Building Regulations’ 20-metre compartmentation rule.  

Installation commenced in July 2025 and was completed within 16 weeks.
