Meeting the Brief
»»When Cornwall
Council decided to consolidate
office facilities at the Beacon
Technology Park in Bodmin,
strong environmental
performance was a key
stipulation of the brief.
The Poynton Bradbury
Wynter Cole Architects BIM
design featured two separate
frames linked by an atrium
and main contractor, BAM
Construction utilised leading
edge performance products
from Metal Technology.
Metal Technology’s System
17 SP (silicone pointed) with
concealed vents and System
17 capped high rise curtain
walling formed the framework
for the extensive glazed façades.
System 17 SP is a structured
glazing system designed to
create visually impressive all
glass façades with profiles that
provide structural integrity,
weather performance, thermal
enhancement and, importantly,
can only be seen on the inside
of the building.
System 5-20D Hi+ thermally
broken doors were also specified
for the project. Part of Metal
Technology’s THERMAL
range, the System 5-20D Hi+

Zooming in

door system achieves high
levels of thermal performance
by utilising specially designed
polyamide thermal break
profiles, thermal gaskets and
foam profiles, allowing it to
meet and exceed the latest
thermal requirements of the
current building regulations,
while at the same time creating
the desired look for the overall
design and aesthetic.
