TURNING GRAND DESIGNS INTO SAFE SOLUTIONS

» A REFURBISHED OFFICE IN CENtral London has been given the TuffX treatment , transforming it into a stunning contemporary workplace flooded with natural light and space .
Multiple large openings on the office building ’ s ground floor were designed to open up the basement level below . The plans relied on a super safe and secure specialist glass solution to bring them to fruition – which is where leading toughened glass specialist TuffX stepped in .
TuffX supplied a total of 76 individual panels of 21.5mm toughened and laminated glass , each with polished edges and dubbed corners . Due to the nature of the project the entire 95m2 order of glass was heat soaked for additional strength and quality , greatly reducing the possibility of unforced breakage and providing added reassurance for the client .
The result was a spectacular new stylish and bright office space . Not only was the basement floor transformed , flooded with natural daylight and a feeling of spaciousness , but the refurbishment also created an impressive entrance to the building and dramatic focal point , with the glass balustrades complementing the sleek , contemporary concrete and steel interior .
TuffX ’ s Managing Director Graham Price said : “ Large spaces require careful consideration when it comes to placing windows , skylights and other openings , in order to maximise light and give the whole area a more comfortable feel for everyone using it . Clever design like this maximises on light and space , but safety is absolutely paramount , which is why our customers call us .”
