LAMILUX creates a brighter tomorrow for shopping centres
C
rystal Peaks, a major shopping centre in Sheffi eld, Yorkshire, has been refurbished with three new large, glazed roofs thanks to the collaboration between LAMILUX, a leading
provider
of high-performance roofl ights, and P&R Structural Glazing, a specialist in roofl ight installation. The project involved the supply and installation of three Glass Roof PR60s, which were designed to enhance natural daylighting,
energy effi ciency, and the
overall aesthetics of the shopping centres architecture. A total of 1,389 glass panes were installed across the three roofl ights to give approximately 1,533 square meters of glass. Additionally, natural smoke ventilation was integrated into the glazing systems. LAMILUX and P&R Structural Glazing
worked closely together throughout every stage of the project, from the initial design concept to the fi nal installation, to ensure a seamless collaboration. The installation of the East atrium roofl ight, which boasts glazed
dimensions of 24.5 meters in length and 5.5 meters in width at the apex, was planned for the Christmas trading period, which therefore required meticulous planning and consideration. By maintaining clear communication and a fl exible
both companies successfully navigated the technical and operational hurdles, ensuring that the project was completed to the highest standards, while minimizing inconvenience to shoppers and staff.
The LAMILUX PR60 Glass Roof is renowned for its versatility and exceptional thermal effi ciency, making it an ideal choice for large commercial spaces like shopping centres. Its construction allows for fl exible confi gurations,
enabling the
system to be adapted to different roof shapes and dimensions, which was necessary to accommodate the distinct shapes and sizes that
differed among the East, West, and
Central atrium roofl ights of the shopping centre. Incorporating natural daylight into
a shopping centre offers benefi ts of not only improving the overall environment but also contributing to enhanced sales performance. Furthermore, natural light contributes to energy effi ciency, reducing the reliance on artifi cial lighting and lowering operational costs, making it a sustainable and cost- effective feature for shopping centres.
