The systems are BBA approved and were installed with a traditional, clay brick slip finish, with the remaining 17 floors finished with Swistherm EWI to produce a more lightweight solution to minimise the structural impact of the system.

Double glazed units deliver a sound reduction of 37Rw dB and feature outer panes of 6mm SGG Securit Cool-lite SKN165ii and inner panes of 13.5mm SGG Stadip Protect, with a 14mm 90% argon filled cavity providing a U-value of 1.1.

The work was completed with Sikaflex polyurethane sealant, applied in order to reinstate and fill all perimeter expansion joints and producing a complete slip resistant and durable flooring system to support five fire engines weighing up to 13 tonnes each.

Resin Bound Surfacing is a UV stable resin bound aggregate surfacing which meets SuDS requirements and complies with the DIN 51130 slip resistance test, making it suitable for swimming pools, car parks, footpaths and public spaces.

Nigel Rees, GGF Group Chief Executive, said: “The Green Deal Home Improvement Fund has done virtually nothing for the window industry as homeowners only qualified if they were replacing single glazing, something that’s very uncommon in owner occupier homes.”
