APS’ Downer framing is also in the running in this year’s Facade Awards 2022, in conjunction with premium quality facade solutions, including Swisspearl fibre-cement cladding panels and Petrarch reconstituted stone rainscreen facade.
The Filmworks actually features an APS trilogy – Petrarch and two of Downer’s framing systems. The Filmworks, in the London Borough of Ealing, which has been shortlisted in the Best Refurbishment Project category, features Downer’s DCS031 HELPING HAND® framing system and DCS004 secret fix system, alongside parent company Panel Systems’ Petrarch rainscreen facade.

Set behind the retained historic art deco facade of Ealing’s former Empire Cinema, the £100 million mixed-use regeneration scheme comprises more than 200 new homes overlooking a central square, lined with bars and restaurants, and featuring a double- height entrance foyer to the eight-screen Picturehouse Cinema, the biggest outside London’s West End.
The Petrarch panels and Downer framing systems were specified by architects TP Bennett, predominantly for their recyclability, sustainability and high durability, and they were installed by specialist sub-contractor Richardson Roofing.
Richardson Roofing’s contracts coordinator Krissy Dawson said:
