IG Masonry Support goes above and beyond on Canada Water development
When it came to providing a range of bespoke brick slip products to achieve intricate brick features throughout the facade on the buildings in the first phase of the Water Yards masterplan at Canada Water, IG Masonry Support was well-poised to deliver the goods. The first phase of this ambitious masterplan included 234 apartments rising up 18 storeys, located in four residential cores surrounding a landscaped courtyard and a 100,000 ft2
Decathlon store with a basement car park. The intricate brick features and balconies with brick
soffits required IG’s full catalogue of prefabricated components. This solution was the first that used an extended B.O.S.S system based on steel. IG also provided hangers, which were flexible enough for movement between the main structure of the balcony and its system. IG’s prefabricated brick slip balcony soffit solution enabled main contractor Ardmore to achieve the desired brick detail quickly and effectively. The complex brick detail achieved above the windows, openings and recesses throughout the development highlights the design versatility of IG’s offsite soffit solutions.

A four-acre site, originally part of the Ford Dagenham car plant, will provide a new home for 325 residential units in a series of five to ten storey apartment buildings.

of the Wraptite® airtightness
membrane from the A. Proctor Group features in the design. Wraptite is the only self-adhering vapour permeable air barrier certified by the BBA and combines the critical properties of vapour permeability and airtightness in one self-adhering membrane. Including the Wraptite System within the facade design helps ensure “as-designed” performance, narrowing the gap between as-designed and actual energy performance and reducing the likelihood of potential failures to meet required airtightness levels. Wraptite is compliant with Part B regulation changes and also has BBA approval for unrestricted use in buildings over 18m in England and 11m in Scotland.
