Metalline makes The Point

Specialist architectural metal fabricator Metalline has enhanced its manufacturing reputation with the installation of a range of their aluminium metalwork on The Point office redevelopment in Maidenhead.

Involved at design stage with architects Darling Associates, Metalline presented the aesthetic benefits of Feature Beam and provided examples of the crisp horizontal line appearance that can be achieved when specifying their aluminium pressing.

As a result they secured an order for over 800 linear metres of Feature Beam, 600 square metres of glazed insulated panels and 300 linear metres of aluminium copings that were installed to the parapet and roof terraces on the 5th and 7th floors.

Finished in bronze anodised Anolok 549 the Feature Beam pressing in particular adds a striking line to the iconic design of the building. The entrance to the office block also featured six 5.2 metre high V shaped columns complete with 12 sets of column covers manufactured and supplied by Metalline in a dark brown finish that added a further dimension to the double height reception area.

Metalline have over 25 years experience in architectural metalwork and have had their highly engineered aluminium pressings specified on a range of prestigious buildings throughout the United Kingdom.
