AB Glass to work on new £39m
landmark Swansea building
AB Glass, the Swansea-based leading aluminium manufacturing
and installation company, has secured a £1.5m contract to
work on a new, landmark, building being built in Swansea.
» THE COMPANY IS WORKING
alongside global construction specialist
ISG to deliver a £39m student high-rise
accommodation block at Mariner Street,
Swansea. Reaching 17 stories and 58 metres
tall, the building will house 780 students and
be the second tallest in the city.
AB Glass specialises in the manufacture and
installation of facades, curtain walling, windows,
doors and structural glass assemblies for both
the domestic and commercial markets.
The company works across the UK often
on very large commercial projects. It also has
an access control division, AB Access, which
produces a range of leading access control
products.
AB Glass will fabricate and install Kawneer
AA720e windows along with AA720 and
AA190 swing doors in the new building. Due
to various acoustic requirements on the build,
it is also supplying acoustic glass and trickle
vents, which help protect the end users from
external noise.

The project will be the third scheme ISG
has delivered for Fusion Student. The new
development will open in time for the start
of the 2021 academic year and it represents a
key part of Swansea’s expansive regeneration
plans.
Alan Brayley, managing director at AB
Glass, said:
“We are very pleased to deliver our
manufacturing and installation services to
the Fusion Student project. We are aware
of the increase in demand for student
accommodation in Swansea for its two
main universities and we think the new
Fusion Student build will help mitigate this
demand.”
