Keystone brick slip feature lintels make an entrance at luxury Beaconsfield development
The superior aesthetics, offsite craftmanship and precision of Keystone Lintels’ pioneering brick slip system has ensured the facade of a luxury apartment complex in Buckinghamshire is in keeping with its exemplary architectural design. Wellington Court is an exclusive development of one, two and three bedroom apartments. Developer Halamar’s architectural vision for this property required a gable ended facade and main entrance featuring prominent and distinctive brickwork arches in the Arts and Craft style. To meet their requirements, Keystone’s technical team designed Brick Slip Feature corbelled and full arch lintels which were manufactured in a factory-controlled environment, negating the need for complex brick cutting on-site Keystone’s technical team ensured each bespoke lintel was manufactured to the size, shape and aesthetic requirements within the project build schedule. The one-piece lintel design solution required exacting dimensions to avoid any conflict with the proposed stone sitting at the end of each arch bearing. 3,593 mm upper coursing span and 3,143 mm lower coursing span measurements were essential for the seamless installation of the prominent entrance.

keystonelintels.com Crittall Leeds the way
Original Crittall windows have been replaced and upgraded on the main street frontage of one of Leeds’ most historic quarters. Briggate is a pedestrianised principal shopping street in the city centre containing many historic buildings including, tucked away from view in Lamberts Yard, the only remaining Elizabethan timber framed property in the City dating back to circa 1600. The walkway leading to that heritage enclave passes through No. 162 Briggate, a 1950’s vintage commercial and residential block where Think Architecture has installed replacement Crittall steel windows. “No.162 had original Crittalls and, as with all the buildings around Lamberts Yard, things were in various appalling states,” said Simon Smithson, director of Pudsey, West Yorkshire-based, Think Architecture. The original single glazed windows in the three-storey no.162 were replaced with double glazed lookalike Homelight windows. The building now houses new apartments and a ground-floor commercial premises. “I have to say,” added Mr Smithson, “that the Crittall windows are a wonderful system.”
