Simple. Fast.
Unique.
ESSA Academy, Bolton chooses the innovative TAPER-LOC®
System
from C.R. Laurence to create a striking staircase within the ‘inside outside’ space.
TAPER-LOC®
is the simple way to install glass railings and balustrades. It is 50% faster to install than traditional alternatives and as it is a totally dry glaze system there is no need for wet cement. Conforming to BS6180:2011 the product is completely unique because it uses a horizontal TAPER-LOC design, which allows the system to be adjusted, dismantled and re-set easily and efficiently. This also makes the TAPER- LOC®
It is one of our main priorities to offer to pupils the right environments to learn and develop their relationship. The staircase really acts as a bridge between the two”.
Steve Gill, of Webber Engineering - steelwork specialists who constructed the staircase, commented, “CRL’s range of Architectural Hardware is first- rate. In particular, their TAPER-LOC®
System enabled a fast and efficient
installation, which not only makes our job easier but keeps costs to a minimum. Their products are also backed up with an excellent Technical Support division.”
System ideal for replacing scratched and broken panels in existing
applications. CRL’s Aluminium Base Shoe were specified to be used with laminated toughened glass.
The staircase has been built within the hall of the academy, which exhibits a modern blend of stylish interior design glass features together with the spaciousness and open-air feeling of an outside area.
The Academy Senior Staff members were thrilled with the look, the practicality and the safety of the staircase as it is located in one of the busiest areas of the building. “The hall is the heart of the Academy which as well as providing a social meeting space is also our circulation hub.
To finish the project CRL’s Cap Rails were used throughout the staircase and balcony area, in a 51mm diameter. These premium cap rails are manufactured by bump-forming to ensure reduced spring back. The Cap Rails have a standard wall thickness of 3.2mm and are available in diameters ranging from 38.1mm to 101.6mm, as well as oval and square profiles in a wide range of architectural finishes.
