HIGH PERFORMANCE CURTAIN WALL AND DOOR PRODUCTS BY KAWNEER FEATURE ON THE TAFF VALE REDEVELOPMENT IN PONTYPRIDD
Aluminium glazing systems from leading UK manufacturer Kawneer were specified by key supply chain partner DarntonB3 Architecture for the redevelopment at the heart of the regeneration of a South Wales town .
Multiple curtain wall and entrance door products from Kawneer were specified on the three buildings that comprise the £ 40 million Taff Vale redevelopment in Pontypridd .
Kawneer ’ s AA ® 110 capped and SSG ( Structurally Silicone Glazed ) curtain wall and thermally-superior AA ® 720 doors feature on several storeys of two office blocks whilst the AA ® 110 capped curtain wall product has been used on the ground floor of the statement community building .
In addition , Kawneer ’ s AA ® 190 TB entrance doors were installed on all three buildings over nine months by a team of up to 20 operatives from specialist sub-contractor Dudley ’ s Aluminium for main contractor Willmott Dixon . Dudley ’ s won Willmott Dixon ’ s “ Overall Partner Award ” for this project at their Supply Chain Awards .
