»»There are many buildings of
historic interest along notable streets
including Steep Hill and The Strait, but
Danesgate House, built in 1963 was not an
attractive addition to the area.
It is now used as student accommodation
but the 1960s concrete cladding looking
particularly tired and out of place, windows
and façade needed replacing and better
insulation was required. Aluminium cassette
rain screen cladding consisting of 200mm
planks in a clapperboard style was chosen to
replace the concrete.
Powdertech Corby Sales Director Richard
Besant explained: “The existing red brick of
the building was retained and the designers
wanted the colour and pattern of the
cladding to enhance this and also blend
in with the historic buildings nearby. We
were asked to source five shades of grey to
be applied to fifteen batches of 200mm
aluminium planks. We selected five from the
Valspar range.”
In order to minimise disruption to
residents, the refurbishments was carried out
within a tight timescale. Powdertech Corby
coated and delivered 2500m² of aluminium
across an eight week period. The windows
were replaced with larger, grey, double glazed
slim-profile frames.
The building now complements the
surrounding architecture and the powder
coating will last in excess of 20 years,
benefitting residents and onlookers alike.
