Laundry chute in New Sandman Signature hotel Glasgow

Easyline laundry chutes are happy to announce the completion of 1st fix for a laundry chute installation in the new Sandman signature hotel in Glasgow.


Northland Properties, are turning the old Pegasus House building at the corner of Holland Street and West George street into a 179-bedroom, 12-storey hotel complete with a first-floor extension, restaurant, gym and lobby whilst undertaking a significant overhaul of the rest of the building.


The proposal has been designed to make the best use of the existing structure whilst complimenting the character of the surrounding area.

The Hotel will have two entrances, one off West George Street with a bar and restaurant and the other from Holland Street with the main entrance and hotel lobby. 


The Sandman Group opened their first Hotel 50 years ago in Canada and has developed into a global company with over 50 locations around the world.


The benefits of this hotel to Glasgow are significant providing a deliverable development of the former office block. It will provide much-needed employment as well as make use of a long-term vacant site within the city centre.


Pegasus House will be the Sandman Signature group’s first location in Scotland’s central belt aimed at corporate travellers and families. They expanded into the UK in 2011 with the Sandman Signature Hotel in Newcastle and again in Aberdeen last year.


Presently work is being carried out to repair and protect the building’s façade which was constructed in 1970 and has deteriorated since being vacated in 2011.


First fix of this commercial laundry chute over 12 floors was completed in less than a week. There was initial consultation in regards to hole positioning and size require although as we are local to Glasgow we worked around our schedule to be onsite when the contractor was available. We still drop in once a month to check all is well in preparation for final fix which suits both us and the customer.

What Is a Chute?

29 November 2023
What Is a Chute: It's History and the Mystifying Household Chute Innovation - Laundry Jet Ever marveled at the convenience of a laundry chute, effortlessly transporting dirty clothes from upper floors to the laundry room? This ingenious invention finds its roots in the ancient concept of chute gravity, which have been used for centuries in agriculture and construction. Today, we even have modern innovations, like the Laundry Jet system, that challenge the traditional design by using powerful suction instead of chute gravity to transport laundry. Key Takeaways Gravity chutes are an efficient and sustainable solution for material transportation, with modern innovations such as the Laundry JET system providing a more energy-efficient alternative. Design considerations should take into account factors such as incline and slope, material flow and velocity, safety and maintenance in order to ensure effective operation. Gravity chutes promote eco-friendly practices by reducing operational costs while minimizing manual handling of materials.
