Curtain Walling in Plymouth
Curtain Walling in Plymouth, booked ahead as a planned project.
What we do in Plymouth
For showrooms, office receptions and new commercial buildings in Plymouth, curtain walling gives floor-to-ceiling glass across wide spans.
We work from your building drawings and structural information, so frames and fixings suit the loads at your site, with fire-stopping at floor edges where it is needed.
Plymouth is a long way from our Midlands base, so work there is booked as a planned project and fitted in as few trips as possible.
Shopping streets and planning in Plymouth
Saltash, across the Tamar, is in Cornwall and comes under Cornwall Council, which has its own planning rules.
The city centre was rebuilt after wartime bombing to a single plan, with wide streets such as Armada Way and Royal Parade and a consistent style of post-war buildings. Many of these are now protected, and Plymouth City Council takes care over changes to their frontages.
What you get from us
The same standard on every curtain walling job, whichever town it is in.
Large glazed areas
Floor-to-ceiling glass across wide spans, ideal for showrooms and receptions.
Designed for the site
Frames are sized for the wind load and fixings at your building, not chosen from a brochure.
Doors and vents built in
Entrance doors and opening windows sit in the same grid for a clean finish.
Fire-stopping included
Gaps at floor edges are sealed so the facade does not become a route for fire.
