Main Prayer Hall Works

Alhamdulillah, during the last month the Main Prayer Hall has been fully plastered and redecorated.

The walls were sanded to remove the old artex coating and following this the entire area was plastered.

The Main Prayer Hall was then redecorated which included painting the wall surfaces and features as well as varnishing woodwork such as main entrance doors and bookshelves. The colours used create a warmer, modern look and are in line with the original design of the Masjid.

We are grateful to the community for being patient while works were ongoing. May Allah SWT accept these humble efforts

Roof Repair

Alhamdulillah, essential repair and upgrade works to the roof of the Masjid have been completed.

Following a lengthy period of consultation with industry experts, the roots of the ongoing problems with the roof were identified. After securing a tender, the work began in January this year and completed in April.

The work involved a full renewal of the entire roof surface. We used the opportunity to also install high spec insulation boards in line with our green aspirations. The renewed roof was then covered, in its entirety, with a brand new all-weather membrane from a platinum rated manufacturer.

This is a tried and tested solution which is used in sports arenas as well as major commercial and industrial sites. It is backed by a significant guarantee from the manufacturer.

After a 6 month monitoring period with the contractors, the new roof has been signed off.

We pray Allah swt accepts these humble efforts.

LED Lighting

As you may be aware, we are currently replacing lighting at Glasgow Central Mosque with new energy-saving LED fittings. We have already completed the majority of works and hope to complete the remaining as soon as possible.

The lighting upgrade is being carried out as part of The Future is Bright project with the objective of reducing carbon emissions through lower energy consumption. There are other benefits too such as lower energy costs and improved lighting levels throughout the mosque and community facilities.

We also want to encourage members of the community to implement energy-saving measures at home which will help us achieve a greater carbon saving as a community. If you would like further advice about home energy efficiency, please get in contact. You can find contact details and further information on our project website: www.futureisbright.org.uk
