Apartment blocks given the Aluglaze treatment

Three apartment blocks in Leeds have been transformed thanks to insulated infill panels manufactured by Panel Systems, based in Sheffield.
 
Architectural panel manufacturer Panel Systems has supplied Aluglaze infill panels for the Oatlands development, which is close to Leeds city centre and consists of the multi-storey apartment blocks Oatland Court, Oatland Heights and Oatland Towers.
 
Panel Systems supplied more than 200 aluminium faced Aluglaze panels and these were glazed into the new windows in two colours; grey and a striking green to complement the new render on the main elevations. This transformed them to give a vibrant new look that fits in with the modern skyline of the city.   
 
The work is part of the Sustainable Communities for Leeds project in partnership with Leeds City Council, which includes the refurbishment of 1,245 existing council properties and the regeneration of communities in Little London, Beeston Hill and Holbeck.
 
Danny Phelan, Sales Manager at Panel Systems, said: “Aluglaze is helping to transform older apartment blocks throughout cities like Leeds, helping councils and private landlords to provide dwellings that are appealing to tenants and look good on the skyline. The panels are ideal for regeneration and refurbishment projects thanks to their longevity and aesthetically pleasing appearance.”
 
As well as enhancing the apartment blocks’ aesthetics, the insulated panels also help to reduce energy consumption and the carbon footprint due to their high performance insulated core. Aluglaze panels can be supplied in different thicknesses to achieve U-values as low as 0.15W/m²K.
 
A premium quality panel, Aluglaze is typically specified when aesthetic considerations are paramount and is available in all Interpon D, Syntha Pulvin & Anodised colours.
 
Panel Systems’ bespoke service means that Aluglaze panels can be designed to suit all glazing and curtain walling systems. They are also able to meet the required insulation, acoustic and fire resisting criteria.
 
Aluglaze panels from Panel Systems have been supplied to a wide variety of commercial, educational and healthcare environments and they are renowned for their aesthetics and performance.
 
Panel Systems manufactures a full range of bespoke composite panels that are used to create aesthetically striking and thermally efficient buildings.
