THE SILVERTON APARTMENTS BALCONY GLAZING FOR 11-STOREY HIGH RISE DEVELOPMENT
Situated in East London’ s Royal Docks, The Silverton is a development of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom luxury apartments from property developer Fairview New Homes.
Located near the Tate & Lyle sugar refinery and London City Airport, the project required balcony glazing to create a sheltered outdoor living space, while also helping to reduce noise pollution and meet windloading requirements.
Solarlux worked closely with Fairview to design and manufacture balcony glazing that provided acoustic performance, structural integrity and regulatory compliance, while supporting Fairview’ s quality and warranty obligations.
Balcony glazing for noise reduction The main challenge was the noise levels. Aircraft noise, combined with the industrial area background noise, meant acoustic performance was critical.
Proline T and Proline T Mega are slide-and-turn glazing systems that offer aesthetics and ease of use. They can also provide up to 30dB of sound reduction in optimal conditions.
Wind resistance and balcony glazing
Due to the height and exposed location of the development, the balcony glazing needed to withstand high wind loads and potential deflection.
Solarlux’ s Proline T systems feature robust top-running profiles and reinforced aluminium frames. The height-adjustment profile enables precise panel alignment, while compensating for building movement and wind deflection. The balcony glazing was also engineered to meet the project’ s lateral and funnelled wind-loading requirements across all elevations.
