London design practice showcases style
The headquarters of a leading design
practice, located close to The Shard, provide
a stylish example of steel windows’ relevance
to a vibrant urban landscape. Steel Window
Association (SWA) member, West Leigh,
retrofitted three different systems into the
building. W20 and W40 as well as Schuco Primo profiles, painted in
RAL 7024 Anthracite Grey were specified with a satin chrome finish.
Measures such as modern weather-stripping and Argon or Krypton
filled glazing units with low-E glass ensure the replacements offer far
superior energy performance to the original timber fenestration.
