Metal Technology’s curtain walling systems were specified for The West Village student living scheme.

The scheme, developed by Downing and designed by Falconer Chester Hall architects, aims to create a new residential quarter with links to Glasgow Harbour.

The building’s facing brickwork combines with natural stone on the most prominent corner of the site and is curved to create a landmark.

This curved façade is constructed using Metal Technology’s System 17 high rise capped curtain walling and the entire building features THERMAL range System 4-20Hi+ casement windows.

Complying with the latest British Standards, System 17 provides structural integrity, weather performance, thermal enhancement and complete design versatility.

The Metal Technology 4-20Hi+ casement window systems blend seamlessly and offer advantages of polyamide thermal break technology and impressive acoustic performance, achieving a 47db reduction with double glazed glass units.
