Challenge

The building was designed to achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating. The facade was designed to maximise the light coming in. However, due to its design, the loads that the panels need to withstand are significant.

Solution

Due to its extensive expertise in the design and delivery of glass facade fixings, Construction Fixing Systems were approached to discuss the design. CFS delivered a special design of cast-in channels for the facade, including the design and manufacturing of ski channels.
