REYNAERS ACHIEVES
MAXIMUM COMFORT AND
SAFETY FOR NEW LONDON HOMES
Nestled in the exciting Kings Cross district of London, Onyx
Apartments is a new development that offers residents the best of
everything: comfort, ideal location, unmatched views of the city and
access to an array of restaurants, bars, shops, parks and galleries.
Working closely with developer Taylor Wimpey, contractor United
Living and Cross Border partner Skonto Plan, Reynaers has ensured
residents receive the highest level of thermal insulation and safety,
while also being able to take advantage of the unique London
panorama.
Onyx Apartments is an 11-storey building located on the banks
of Regent’s Canal, which offers 117 bespoke homes with one, two
and three bedroom options. The development was designed as
a modern, elegant and professional living environment which is
reflected in the look and feel of the entire building. Residents are
offered a range of facilities, including a 24-hour concierge service,
access to a residents’ roof terrace, two enticing entrance lobbies
and cycle storage.
Comfort and safety were two top priorities in bringing this project to
life and Reynaers was brought on board to achieve those aims. The
CS 86 ‘High Insulated’ (HI) aluminium window was specified, as it
offers an overall insulation value (Uf) of 1.0 W/m²K, making it one of
the most energy-efficient windows on the market. RB Glass was also
used, an add-on glass balustrade which offers an additional layer of
security without compromising the transparency and design of the
windows. To further enhance the insulation level of the apartments,
Reynaers’ CP 155 ‘Lift and Slide’ (LS) aluminium door was specified
as part of the project, a product which creates maximum glazed
areas while also maintaining comfort.
Commenting on the development, Neil Garner, International Project
Consultant at Reynaers Aluminium UK said: “We are proud to be a
part of the redevelopment of Kings Cross district. Onyx Apartments
is a great example of a project that combines elements of luxury and
practicality, bringing a fresh perspective to the area. At Reynaers,
our mission is to enhance the living and working environment and I
believe we achieved that as part of this project through the comfort
and security that our doors and windows offer the new residents.”
Kings Cross has been undergoing major transformation work, with
new residential areas being built, in addition to a flourishing variety
of green spaces, restored heritage buildings, a bustling food and
drink scene and shopping areas. Located in the heart of London,
residents benefit from quick transport links to the rest of the city as
well as internationally from St Pancras station.
