Made to measure – Pendock’s bespoke casings D
ecorative architectural casings and enclosures have been Pendock’s area of specialism for more than three
decades, with its Radius column casings and Linea building linings being core products in the company’s range of bespoke solutions, which are often combined to give an integrated fi nish solution. Two comparatively early examples of where bespoke casings were used to address individual specifi cations for high profi le projects, were at West Cheshire College in Ellesmere Port and Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC). West Cheshire College is constructed on a circular plan and Pendock supplied more than 60 bespoke metal column casings, fi nished in white, which were used on each level within the fi ve-storey building to conceal the structural supports. At the NEC, 40 bespoke column casings,
fi nished in grey high pressure laminate (HPL) and standing 4 metres high, were used in the main piazza area to conceal structural steelwork, while a series of slender aerofoil section fi ns, fi nished in red (HPL), incorporated large metallic numerals as exhibition hall signalling for visitors. It’s been more than 15 years since the NEC project was completed, which is testament to their durability, but since then Pendock has been involved in countless other bespoke projects, and two of the latest projects each required individually engineered column casing and building lining solutions. Brushed stainless steel column casings
are used to conceal structural steelwork at University College London’s East Campus at Pool Street on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford.
West Cheshire College
Each of the 12 column casings, which are 775 mm in diameter and range in height from 3,215 mm to 3,370 mm, are installed in four external locations on the third level of the university building’s two towers, which function as student relaxation areas.

casings were manufactured by Pendock from 2 mm thick aluminium with a grey RAL 7005 fi nish to conceal the 6.8 metre high structural steelwork that supports the centre’s triangular main entrance canopy.

Another recent project is using specialised wall linings from the Linea range to conceal mechanical details surrounding a ground fl oor feature wall & fi re curtain, at Croydon’s prestigious Ruskin Square development, while also providing a consistent fi nish to lift lobbies on each level of the 10 storey building. The bespoke wall linings are manufactured from 3 mm thick aluminium with a RAL 3007 fi nish and were installed by Pendock using a concealed panel hanging system. A full range of specifi cation details and product information is available on the Pendock website and online at NBS Source.
