Developed in conjunction with the eminent Danish architect, Jan Sondergaard, MagHansen's CellGlazing has been used to dramatic effect on a mixed use development in north-west London.
Top Scottish Architect Turns To MagHansen Systems
One of Scotland's best known architectural practices has made expressive use of curtain walling solutions from the range of MagHansen for the execution of a speculative office development in Glasgow.
The Director in charge of the project for Fairhursts, Mr Ian Fitton, comments: "AMEC has been developing this site, previously occupied by a hospital, for a number of years and transformed it into Manchester's premier business park.
This latest property really stands out, especially at night-time, and the glazing solution is a major element to the appearance.
"Fairhursts first saw CellGlazing in Denmark two years ago and realised its benefits.
Internally it presents a very narrow fin which you can treat and bring partitions lines to it; or if you leave it exposed it has a narrow, pleasing profile.
Externally, instead of the traditional capped profile, there is this negative joint which offers a crisper appearance than most systems on the market.
"The scheme has been very well received and there are a number of other jobs where we are likely to employ CellGlazing in the future." For the AMEC building, Fairhursts employed the Thermestra system for the main entrance area while the CellGlazing stands out on the main elevations.
MagHansen's Facad curtain wall system also provides a striking appearance while individual fixed and opening Fenster windows complete the fenestration on the property.
MagHansen is part of the Anglo-Scandinavian HansenGroup, one of Europe's leading fenestration specialists in curtain walls, commercial windows, steel doors and fire resistant structural glazing.
The Group has annual sales of some ?100 million and employs over 1,000 people.
