crowns Whiteleys redevelopment CUPA PIZARRAS’ CUPACLAD®
101 Logic natural slate rainscreen cladding system has been specifi ed for
the redevelopment of Whiteleys department store in London. The timeless aesthetic and A1 fi re resistance delivered by the natural slate, provided the ideal solution for the project’s extensive new mansard roof. The project, led by Fosters + Partners, aims to restore the former glory of the London landmark by preserving the Art Deco elements of the original design, whilst providing modern facilities and amenities. Sustainability was an important element of the project, with the design team aiming to achieve a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’. The environmental credentials of CUPACLAD®
contribute signifi cantly to this goal. Unlike other facade
materials, no heat or chemicals are applied at any point during the production process and natural slate has a potential lifespan of over a century. As a result, the environmental impact of slate is considerably lower than other cladding materials. CUPA PIZARRAS has in fact already achieved Net Zero certifi cation, EcoVadis Gold Medal and BRE Global verifi cation of its EPD.

Senior Architectural Systems is opening up new opportunities in the commercial market thanks to the launch of its new SPD150 aluminium door system. The SPD150 commercial door system has been specifi cally developed to meet the demands of high-traffi c commercial environments where accessibility, performance, and durability are key. Developed as a non-rebated door and framing system, the SPD150 can be fabricated as single or double doors, with various confi guration options such as emergency exit versions and anti-fi nger trap stiles. One of its key advantages is its low threshold design which provides easier access for wheelchair users and reduces the risk of trips, helping to create a more inclusive design in communal spaces. The use of low thresholds can also contribute to a more streamlined interior design, providing a seamless transition to outdoor spaces and making the new SPD150 commercial door suitable for use across a variety of sectors including healthcare, education, offi ce schemes, and other public use buildings. For architects and specifi ers seeking a clean, modern aesthetic, the SPD150 system also supports the integration of concealed closers and hardware.
