The finished result using this innovative technology is visually
stunning. The project has not only transformed and modernised
the dated building which was originally built in 1976, but has also
made the area a far more dynamic and engaging environment
for all customers and set the NEC apart as one of the best leisure
destinations in the country. SPV’s remit was the installation of
designed metal rainscreen cassette panel cladding complete with
bespoke flashings.
