46 STAIRS, BALUSTRADES & BALCONIES Schöck for all three phases of Manchester’s Adelphi Wharf M
anchester is a city rich in architectural styles and proud of its industrial heritage. Something that is reflected
in the design at Adelphi Wharf. A high-end development by Fortis, being delivered over three stages in Salford, alongside the River Irwell. It is within easy reach of both the city centre and MediaCityUK at Salford Quays. When complete it will offer a mix of over 500 townhouses, studios, one, two and three bedroom apartments. To reflect its heritage and Salford’s expansion
as a contemporary academic and creative centre, the architectural approach to Adelphi Wharf combines solidarity and playfulness. The lower levels feature stout blue engineering brick, contrasting with the reactive colour-change panels of the upper levels. As the observer’s position changes, these vary visually in tone and colour, accentuating the many recessed balconies on the development. In addition, there are also steel balconies connected to the concrete frame. Any risk of thermal bridging must be minimised and to counter this, the widely used Schöck Isokorb types K and KS structural thermal breaks are incorporated. The type K with compression module HTE-Compact and 80
mm insulation thickness, is a load bearing thermal break element for free cantilevered balcony construction. Whereas the type KS is suiitable for cantilevered steel balconies and canopies. Both types transfer negative moments and positive shear forces and block the outflow of heat by means of a high-quality polystyrene insulation core. The Schöck Isokorb types K and KS units
guarantee totally verifiable performance standards, meet full compliance with
the relevant UK building regulations and offer BBA Certification and LABC Registration. In addition, the Schöck Isokorb range also offers a modular product for steel-to-steel applications – and there is even a maintenance free alternative to wrapped parapets.
