An impressive new commercial development in Scotland's capital has made full use of HansenGlass' capabilities in terms of both solar control and the supply of decorative glazed panels.
Brighter Outlook Thanks To Hansenglass
High performance ThermoSpan glazing units manufactured by HansenGlass help meet the designers' environmental and aesthetic objectives.
The high specification, clear and Ceraphic screen-printed panels are being installed by Hubbard Architectural Metalwork Limited from Norwich for the creation of bespoke balustrading as well as privacy separation screens between apartments.
While the metre high clear FortPlus panels for the balcony fronts are formed from 12mm thick toughened glass, the apartment balcony privacy screens were produced from 10mm thick FortPlus toughened with a Ceraphic screen-printed etch effect.
For additional safety all glass supplied was heat soak tested.
The Contracts Manager supervising the project for Hubbard Architectural Metalwork is Mr Tony Poulter.
Commenting on the success of the contract he says: "As the architectural metalworkers, we are providing a bespoke balustrade solution which incorporates the clear and obscure glass supplied to us by HansenGlass.
This was a commercial decision based on price and quality as well as our past experience of working with HansenGlass.
We are very pleased with the level of service we have received on this contract." Aside from providing the residents with valuable and attractive outside living space, the balconies present a striking aspect to the designs of Broadway Malyan the architectural practice responsible for the different apartment blocks which make up Imperial Wharf.
For the B1 and B2 towers Hubbard Architectural Metalwork produced balustrading entirely in stainless steel.
The system being installed now on A1 - A4 towers features stainless steel handrails supported on mild steel balusters, while the FortPlus panels from HansenGlass provide a unifying visual theme across the different elevations.
