Metal Technology elevates Elgin Place
High-performance curtain walling, windows and doors from Metal Technology, have helped shaped iQ-style student living at Elgin Place on Glasgow’s Bath Street. The development offers 330 rooms in a variety of configurations over 14 floors with ground floor retail mall. The building incorporates social spaces, including a rooftop bar, snugs, gym, gaming rooms and a creative studio. Metal Technology System 17 was used in several variants for the curtain walling screens and rooflight: Silicone pointed, flat cap and capped, with a special concealed vent used to complement the design. Systems 4-35Hi+ casement and 5-35Hi+ tilt-and-turn windows and System 5-20D doors were also used throughout the building. Working with the fabricator, Metal Technology developed a flat cap solution for the curtain walling from levels seven to 13, meeting the architect’s design requirements while offering a value engineered alternative to their silicone pointed system. Used in isolation or together, as in Elgin Place, Metal Technology systems provide reliable structural integrity, weather performance, thermal enhancement and security, together with creative and design freedom to deliver superb results.
