Curtain walling for Tesco creates shoppers paradise - Metal Technology
A curtain walling system by Metal Technology has been used to help draw shoppers into the new Tesco store in Lurgen, south of Lough Neagh.
System 17, a single storey glazed facade was installed by fabricator Douglas Architectural. The project team was headed by architects Ostick & Williams and building contractors Patton Construction.
System 17 was said to be idea following the store's normal format of long span, solar-protected glazing to bring as much light - but not heat - into the building. System 17 is specifically designed to give limitless flexibility to architects and is said to be suitable for both high and low rise facades. The narrow sight lines and robust design can be configured to suit the character and restrictions of many building styles.
