‘Curtain Walling’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Aluminium and Trespa faced panels for school from Panel Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Aluminium panels from Panel Systems specified for stunning new environmentally-friendly Merseyside primary school.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Prioritising sustainability in schools from Epwin Group: "Profile 22 warn that many schools property managers are investing in green energy technologies without corresponding investment in the thermal efficiency of the fabric of school buildings.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Maccaferri - take a look at Maccaferri retaining walls hide treatment works which says: "Geotechnical specialists Maccaferri is building a series of earth retaining walls at the new Glencorse Water Treatment works in Midlothian".
 
Take a look also at the news release from John Newton and Co, Multi-level new build basement in Edinburgh, as well as Disabled toileting solutions for shopping malls from Clos-o-Mat, and Paragon simplifies Travis Perkins delivery process from Paragon Software Systems.
