2017 saw the completion of the prestigious Lombard Wharf (LW) scheme on London’s Thameside. Designed by award winning architects, Patel Taylor, a key feature of the project’s design was its distinctive wrap-around balconies, the frontages of which are lit with LED lighting, tracing the building’s shape in the skyline …..
Steelpro of Finland, was delighted to supply their easy fit, LK63 channel system profile for the development’s glass balustrade (see video below). Steelpro is an innovative European producer of contemporary frameless glass balustrade and bespoke aluminium staircase systems. The LW project represented the company’s entry into the British marketplace and it is now keen to build on this to develop a high-profile presence in the UK’s construction market. In pursuit of this, Steelpro is keen to work with, and support, firms active in the architectural metalwork and contracting sub-sectors and to explore the potential for establishing long-term, mutually beneficial, business partnerships. If you are interested in discussing this matter, please email either Darren Jarvis at Construct UK or Artur Hytti at Steelpro. In the meantime, a selection of key points for consideration may be found below.
