PROJECT UPDATE: Norton Knatchbull School, Ashford

Our team of installers are in the process of setting up our site compound at Norton Knatchbull School in Ashford to enable us to commence our works.

We've added a nifty shelving unit to the containers which are available from budgetshippingcontainers.co.uk. These freestanding storage racks are easy to install without the need for bolting or welding and will help our teams keep the area organised.

We'll be working alongside Logan Construction to deliver both the glazing and cladding packages on the £2.5m refurbishment project. Several areas of the school require urgent repair including the front entrance, gym and main hall. The work will extend the life of the buildings as well as improving the thermal performance.

Sapa's aluminium profiles have been selected for this project as they are able to meet the high-performance demands of the school environment so Dualframe 75Si casement windows, Glostal 202 commercial doors and Elegance 52 ST curtain walling systems have been specified throughout.

The cladding selected for the new facade is a combination of 8mm Rockpanel Extreme, 6mm Steni composite and Alucobond in a mix of grey, silver and white.

The project is due for completion by January 2018.
