RIBA Award Winner

Award Winning Design

The Watford Music Centre is a resource for musical teaching, practice and performance.

Strong attention to detail was required throughout this project as the acoustic performance of the building was essential to its future success.

Pilkington ProfilitTM glass was used extensively for the external shell of the building. Our curtain walling has been installed in front of the concrete walls and proved an ideal material for this project, combining style with functionality.

Specs

• SP26 Standard Cast glass used on the external envelope of building.
• Glass installed Double-glazed, reinforcing the importance of the acoustic performance of the building.
• Non-Wired glass used as an aesthetic requirement.
• Technical support provided by the Reglit Glass Design team to integrate window framings with the glass panels.
