It's curtains for the Mercury - Kawneer UK Ltd
Curtain walling from Kawneer is said to have transformed the first building to revamped as part of the regeneration of Leicester's new business quarter.
The city centre headquarters of the region's leading daily newspaper, the Leicester Mercury was originally framed and clad in concrete but was llooking tired and performing inefficiently.
Franklin Ellis Architects specified Kawneer's horizontally-capped curtain walling utilising a special feature cap and concealed vents for the majority of the £12 million, 15-month refurbishment which involved the recladding of the building.
