Winter Sunshine on The Antonine
 |
 |
 |
 |
It is always of interest to re-visit completed contracts and monitor how our material is performing. It is also very easy to forget such work and treat it as yesterdays news. It was therefore pleasing to see the Antonine Centre in Cumbernauld, standing up to the rigours of our Scottish climate and basking in some glorious winter sunshine.
We supplied over 800 reconstituted stone cladding panels during 2006 & 2007, covering over 3000m2. The units were given an acid etched finish to all exposed faces. With such a large project, production spanning over several months, it was important that all aspects of our quality control procedures were strictly adhered to. The photographs below show a highly uniform and consistent finish throughout and indicate a highly durable and weather resistant material. A good advert for Precast Concrete.

Hillhead’s New Primary School

One of our most significant contracts during 2010 has been the supply of wet cast, acid etched panels to Hillhead Primary School in Glasgow. The school was designed by jmarchitects Ltd and constructed by City Building (Glasgow) LLP. The panels were erected by Stone Engineering.
Approximately 435 panels were supplied covering a finished area of 1600m2. The elevations have only recently been available for photographs and we are delighted to have the opportunity to show the first images of the school on our website. It is another excellent example of the sustainability of Precast Concrete cladding and one that we are thrilled to be adding to our portfolio.
