The contract was for the supply and installation of extensive external and internal glazed twin wall façades to the extension of the Alexandra Building in Swansea. The project was undertaken to provide Swansea Metropolitan University with the necessary facilities to expand its knowledge transfer activities. The accommodation provides an additional 657sq Meters to the existing 1,557sq metres already contained within the Grade 2 listed building. The modern double skin façade extension incorporates a new entrance, workshops, study spaces and seminar space and comprises of a capped curtain wall system forming the internal wall and a structurally bonded glazed toughened laminated glass skin forming the outer wall. The two façades are coupled via a purpose made aluminium Vierendeel Truss support framework, including extruded aluminium walkways, partially suspended from stainless steel rods which in-turn act as a carrier for the coloured glass brise soleil blades. The project achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ under BREEAM Higher Education accreditation 2008.All works have been fabricated within our facility and installed by our installation team.

SystemGlaze fabricated and installed the windows, doors and curtain walling for the refurbishment of Trowbridge County hall, Wiltshire. The refurbishment of the existing building and part new-build transformed the space into a substantial public services hub providing light across the 18,600 square metre open plan working environment. The Project comprised the installation of non-tempered dichroic colour effect glass, across multiple curtain wall screens and windows. Giving an aesthetically pleasing multi-coloured affect across the glazed screen.Structural Glazing was carried out to the courtyard area with the Curtain Walling located within “The Link” area of the building. This was manufactured using a 60mm structurally silicone glazed curtain walling system. This thermally enhanced system uses a glass thickness of 38.8mm.The Main entrance glazed screen also comprised of structural glazing derived from our bespoke shuffle glazed system and incorporates heat soaked single glazed units. An underfloor plenum provides displacement ventilation to the atrium area via floor grilles and vents.The building refurbishment achieved BREEAM “excellent” and also won the BCO award for offices and refurbishment
