Soundcraft Hybrid curtain walling, windows and doors were chosen for D’overbroeck Sixth Form Study Centre & Performing Arts Building; set to open September 2017.

The current building will be transformed into a Sixth Form Centre with science labs, a library, school hall and auditorium.

Designed by TSH Architects, the project aims to preserve the original Summerhill Villa, built in 1823, whilst adding a modern touch.

Soundcraft manufactured and installed their Series 3 Curtain wall, with their Series 1 windows and SPW501 security doors in the main building and hall.

The Hybrid Series 1 casement windows combine the long life and low maintenance of aluminium externally with high insulation, responsibly sourced timber internally.

SPW501 is a commercial thermally broken aluminium security door. The design is enhanced by a clip and flush mullion section in a choice of widths. A high performance system idea for high traffic use. Anti-finger trap pivots are provided.
