B & Q Superstore

Cill Pressings and Floating Heads– we had to work very closely with both the main contractor and the structural engineers to customise our system to allow for structural movement.

 

The Pilkington Profilit™ U-profile glass system-clad wind powered signage tower is the UK’s largest building-mounted turbine and is the most prominent feature of this sustainable urban superstore. The intention of this development was to incorporate renewable energy sources into the creative design of this eco-friendly store, allowing it to emit 50% less carbon emissions than a traditional store of a similar size.
