Fire Rated Glazing

At Daylight London, our work on the Brightwells Yard project stands as a prime example of our expertise in fire-rated glazing systems, blending modern glazing technology with heritage sensitivities in a mixed-use development comprising of 30 Commercial units, 7 Restaurants and Bars as well as several hundred residential units.

Navigating Technical Complexities in Glazing with Daylight London

This project in Farnham was not just about meeting functional requirements; it was about creating a harmonious balance between safety, aesthetics, and architectural integrity.

The Reel Cinema at Brightwells Yard posed one of the most intricate challenges. We designed a curtain wall system with structural mullions robust enough to support heavy signage, yet maintaining aesthetic coherence. Another significant aspect was implementing fire-rated curtain walling. This was crucial to ensure the safety of the occupants without compromising on the style or architectural vision.

Regulations & Compliance

Our approach to this project was holistic. We managed the technical design and RFI requirements with remarkable efficiency, balancing SAP calculations for thermal efficiency and the specific requirements of fire-rated systems. This involved meticulous planning and coordination, managing diverse partners and subcontractors, and aligning each component with Crest Nicholson’s high standards and schedules.

Technically Demanding Glazing Solutions

The success of the Brightwells Yard project underlines our capability to deliver complex, technically demanding glazing solutions. It highlights our commitment to safety, functionality, and design excellence. Our adherence to the 'D Philosophy' – Design, Dedication, Dependability, and Distinction – was evident in every aspect of this large-scale project.

At Daylight London, we pride ourselves on our technical mastery and collaborative success in challenging environments. The Brightwells Yard project serves as a blueprint for future developments, showcasing our commitment to innovative design and technical expertise.
