We have produced a wide variety of glazed screens to different projects. Some just have a perimeter timber frame with fixed glass; others have been curtain walls with complex arrangements of timber transoms and mullions, with interspersed electrically operated sashes.
The largest area of glass to a screen we have installed is at the National Tennis Centre where units of 1970mm wide by 3336mm high were fitted at staircases, each double glazed unit weighing 250kg. The curtain walling at Oakgrove School in Milton Keynes is a very different example of how we are willing to push the boundaries of construction by using traditional materials. The three separate screens are as wide 14m and up to 11m high and create a striking visual impact that could not be achieved with a standard curtain walling system.
The curtain walls at Luton Innovation Centre are manufactured by Velfac, but designed and installed by Wood Newton Limited. Both screens are 30m long (facetted) and 6.2m high, with Western Red Cedar brise solei.
