Wrightstyle
We detonated two explosive charges against this glass facade. The first equivalent to a lorry bomb; then shortly after a second blast equivalent to a car bomb. It passed both. Wrightstyle is proud to announce the world's first multi pane glass and glazing system to be tested against the very worst that could happen. The curtain wall system includes stunning features: externally flush facade, internal 60mm sight lines, large span capacity, and all achieved with only 17mm glass edge cover.

SAS International
Wembley Park Underground Station was extended and modernised to serve the Wembley National Stadium and area. Pascall+Watson Architects designed a scheme greatly increasing the passenger throughput and facilities. SAS International's Tubeline system was specified for the public concourse areas. These are semi-external spaces where ceilings are exposed to dust and high levels of humidity. The ceiling had to be low maintenance. SAS's durable Tubeline system consists of 50mm diameter extruded aluminium tubes with powder-coated finish.

Flowcrete
Flowcrete has pioneered a system that creates a durable shiny floor finish. It has developed a method of using the floor finish Peran SL, with a high-performance sealer, to create an extra glossy surface. Colour and shine--Peran SL comes in a wide range of shades from vibrant primary colours through to pastel hues--can be brought to any floorzone. The flooring system was installed at a prestigious location in Sydney, Australia--a project that involved the renovation of an existing facility into a suite of offices in Australia Square, a prime office development in the city centre.

SAS International
Croydon's first PFI education development integrating education, leisure and support facilities includes civic facilities in the same complex. Architects Penoyre & Prasad selected SAS metal ceiling tiles to use in all classroom, office and circulation areas, and parts of the public library, to provide a good acoustic absorption co-efficient and a robust solution for these particular areas. The facility has been designed to provide a stimulating environment for both formal and independent learning, and provides a range of integrated public learning services 'under one roof.
