A town centre shopping mall in Gloucestershire has been given a new lease of life, thanks significantly to Crittall.
Dransfield Properties opted for a complete transformation of the Five Valleys Shopping Centre in Stroud. This included new retail outlets, as well as enhanced car parking, office space and a community hub with library.
Key to the interior appeal was replacing a jumble of disparate shopfronts and signage with a more ordered, modern appearance. Sheffield-based Dixon Dawson Architects selected Crittall W20 steel profiles for the task.
Guy Dixon Dawson comments: “The client wanted a particular style of glazing. I was familiar with Crittall and saw it as the best solution. The whole mall was remodelled; frankly it was a bit of a mess beforehand. Now, everything, ceiling to floor, has been upgraded.”
The result is a simplified approach with Crittall’s slender steel profiled windows and doors providing a uniform appearance. All the cold form doors were a mix of hinged and automatic sliders.
Geberit has raised nearly £14,000 for various charities through its ‘150 Acts of Kindness’ initiative, a year-long programme of fundraising and volunteering to mark the company’s 150th anniversary in 2024.
