TAPER-LOC GIVES LESSONS IN
SAFE AND EFFICIENT GLASS
BALUSTRADE INSTALLATION FOR
NEW ACADEMY BUILDING
When architects working on the new ESSA Academy in Bolton
wanted to create a striking staircase within the new building, glass
was the natural material of choice, installed safely and efficiently
using the innovative TAPER-LOC™ System from CR Laurence.
Creating a stunning ‘inside outside’ space, the staircase is built
within the hall of the Academy, exhibiting a modern blend of stylish
interior design, combined with a spacious and open-air feeling.
Located in one of the busiest areas of the building, the structure
not only needed to look the part, but put safety first too. The CRL
TAPER-LOC™ system is a simple way to install such glass railings
and balustrades. It is significantly faster to install than traditional
alternatives and as it is a totally dry glaze system there is no need
for wet cement.
