Glassolutions wins G16 award

Commercial glazing specialist GLASSOLUTIONS has won the ‘Commercial Project of the Year’ category of the G16 awards for providing a curved glazed façade, windows, doors and roof terrace glazing for The Hiscox Building, York.

Its exclusive VS-1 curtain walling system was instrumental in achieving Make Architect’s vision for the new £19m underwriting and customer experience centre.

The VS-1 mullion-only system eliminated the need for horizontal framing members, and enabled Make Architects to achieve clean viewing creating a building envelope that is both original and complementary to its surroundings in the heart of York.

The floating glass façade is held away from the mullion without the use of obtrusive bolt fixings or transoms. Its relative simplicity reduces risk of component failure, improves constructability and reduces costs of programme delays in both construction and post-construction phases.

Ian Davy, Group Commercial Director at GLASSOLUTIONS, said: “We’re delighted to have won the Commercial Project of the Year award for our work on the Hiscox Building. We’re delighted that our VS-1 curtain walling system and extensive glazing solutions contributed to the creation of such an iconic building.”

GLASSOLUTIONS has previously won G-Awards, in 2014 it was awarded Environmental Initiative of the Year and was crowned Glass Company of the Year in 2012.
