Solution Implementation

Steel Frames

Steel beams are crucial structural elements in building construction, providing strength, stability, and versatility for long spans and heavy loads. 

Glass Panels 

Glass panels are a popular architectural feature in modern buildings, providing natural light, aesthetic appeal, and a spacious, open environment through their versatile use in windows and doors. 

Soundproof Insulations

Insulation is critical for establishing a comfortable home environment since it regulates temperature and reduces energy usage. Installed in walls, floors, and roofs, it minimises heat loss or gain, resulting in increased energy efficiency and savings. 

Brick Cladding

Brick cladding is a decorative exterior finishing technique that adds texture, color, and a traditional aesthetic to a building's walls, increasing its visual appeal and durability. 

 Pitched Roof 

The new library building at High Storrs School will have a pitched roof. Roof tiles offer various advantages, including durability, aesthetic appeal, and energy efficiency.
