Neaco's Techbar aluminum balustrade and their Brise Soleil aluminium sunscreen panels specified at Hopwood College Campus in Manchester.

Neaco have made a double contribution to a major development at Hopwood College Campus in Manchester with the specification of their acclaimed modular balustrade and combined sunscreen/walkway systems Neaco's Techbar aluminum balustrade was used on an internal stairwell and their Brise Soleil aluminium sunscreen panels were installed behind some deep beams on the exterior of a highly trafficked learning environment comprising a learning resource centre, cafeterias and general teaching and conference facilities

Architects Cruickshank and Seward are impressed with the practical and aesthetic qualities of both products.

"We were seeking a balustrade system that offered a distinctive flat-bar stanchion with precision-cut holes and Techbar provided the ideal design," explained Mike Wakeman of Cruickshank and Seward.

"It is one of the most impressive features of the stairwell and, with its nylon coated finish, the system is durable enough to handle such a high traffic area".

Supplementing Neaco's Spectrum range of handrails and balustrade, Techbar is a highly versatile flat bar system offering a host of exciting design features.

Incorporating a wide range of modular components for ease of on-site installation, options include glass infills offset on cowhorns, offset top rails with multi-rails or glass plus a choice of tapered or straight flat bar stanchions.

Techbar can be specified in satin polished stainless steel or aluminum powder coated in a full range of solid or metallic colours.

Brise Soleil comprises strong, good looking and versatile aluminium panels which can be installed anywhere required: underfoot, on an angle or overhead.

Available as either a combined sunscreen/walkway or purely as a sunscreen, the system's modular panels consist of alternative curved louvre extrusions and rectangular flat bars.
