Yeoman Rainguard crowning glory on high end development


P


roperty developers Golden Eye Group, augmented their latest residential development with a high-end exterior finish incorporating a rainwater system from Yeoman Rainguard. With a mantra of “a quality finish that will stand the test of time” Golden Eye ensured that quality was reflected not only internally but for all parts of the external building envelope too.


As part of the function and design criteria of the house facade, Yeoman Rainguard


were able to provide a sophisticated, quality rainwater system to fulfil technical and aesthetic requirements. To


dovetail into the contemporary


look, Yeoman Rainguard SL Aluminium gutters and downpipes were chosen. The 75 x 75 mm flush-fit SL Aluminium downpipes provided a modern clean line coupled with 125 x 100 mm MOG gutter. Aluminium


Fascia and Soffits from


Yeoman Rainguard’s new Squareline range were fitted to complement the sleek lines. All were finished in a smooth RAL 7022 Grey colour to perfectly match the shade of the windows and doors.


The aluminium products give a hardwearing, maintenance free lifecycle of 30 years or more, making this recyclable material


both economically sound choice. The rainwater system was installed by


Yeoman Rainguard’s experienced installer, ensuring the perfect finish.

Sapphire Balconies bring urban village design to life


bespoke balconies designed, manufactured and installed by Sapphire’s team of experts. The project’s key design challenges were to improve privacy for residents and reduce the eff ect of wind felt on balconies to higher fl oors. Since specifying laminate glass balustrades to address these concerns was not an option due to the combustible cladding ban, Sapphire worked with the project architects to devise a solution that would maintain both compliance and aesthetics. Sapphire’s designers created a unique balcony solution featuring vertical bar balustrades with an internal and external mesh panel to the bottom, together with matching privacy screens. A bronze metallic powder coating to balcony guarding, toprail and fascia trim adds a unique fi nish that complements the warm tones of the façade and gives the whole building a golden glow. Balconies for Acton Gardens were produced


T


using Sapphire’s Glide-OnTM aluminium Cassette® system utilising the latest off site manufacturing techniques. Having tested the balconies against the highest specifi cations and quality standards, Sapphire’s logistics team ensured smooth delivery of the preassembled Cassettes® to site, ready for installation. Upon ar- rival, balconies were lifted out of the lorries and installed directly onto the pre-erected support arms, reducing time and eff ort on site.

Using Sapphire’s innovative Glide-On™


balcony Cassette® system at Acton Gardens had numerous benefi ts for the project contractors. It helped reduce time on site as balconies arrived on site fully assembled, cutting down on installation time. Delivering the balconies just before installation also minimised the need for on-site storage. Additionally, producing Cassettes® in a factory environment ensured a high level of quality control during manufacturing and assembly.

Off site manufacturing also helped reduce


costs while increasing the quality of the fi nished balconies. As a further benefi t, Sapphire’s Glide-On™ method of balcony installation reduced the duration of scaff olding on-site, re- sulting in a direct cost saving to the contractor. The easy installation process also eliminated the need for workers on-site, minimising the risks involved while working at height.
