EAG selected high performance aluminium systems from Hueck for this prestigious and complicated residential refurbishment project on the South bank of the Thames.
The former head quarters building for British Steel was completely gutted and refurbished to create luxury apartments with panoramic views over the capital.
- The aluminium systems from Hueck comprised lift and slide high performance door sets, Series 1.0 tilt/turn opening lights and Series VF50 curtain walling.
- Copper rainscreen cladding was also installed to provide a vertical feature to the facades.
- High levels of thermal and acoustic performance were provided by the building envelope with an apartment to apartment rating of 55 Db. Acoustic mullion sleeves and together with steel plates and cementatious boards both vertically and horizontally ensured the specified performance was achieved
- The aluminium profiles were finished in polyester powder coating both internally and externally whilst glazing was provided in double glazed unit form comprising 10mm green tinted toughened and heat soaked outer leaf and 8.8 mm clear laminated inner pane with low emissivity coating.
