WE'RE THRILLED TO REVEAL THAT FILMWORKS WON BEST REFURBISHMENT IN THIS YEAR'S FACADE AWARDS
Petrarch enrobed Filmworks wins Best Refurbishment project at this year’s Facade Awards
We’re extremely proud to share that The Filmworks has won the Best Refurbishment project at this year’s Facade Awards. This is the first year that Architectural Panel Solutions has entered the awards, personally, and we’re thrilled to have debuted as award-winners. Of course, we cannot take complete credit for this project; it is the result of a highly successful collaboration with Richardson Roofing, and talented architect tp bennett for our client Berkeley Group, St George.
The Ealing Filmworks by Berkeley Group, St. George
For a building with such status and heritage, both Berkeley Group, St. George and tp bennett turned to a rainscreen and framing solution which would not only project exactly the right image and retain the splendour of a bygone age, yet also stand up to the most demanding requirements. Blending elegant aesthetics and exacting technical standards; our Petrarch engineered stone rainscreen facade offered the perfect balance.
As a £100m mixed-use regeneration scheme comprising: 209 new homes, a central square, lined with bars, restaurants, and featuring a double-height eight-screen Picture-house Cinema (the biggest outside London’s West End) the demands and rigour demanded of the chosen building materials were to be immense.
Petrarch reconstituted stone rainscreen panels are composed of more than 80% natural material, (predominantly marble – a crushed stone by-product – something we’re extremely proud of) and have a life-span in excess of 50 years. Additionally Petrarch panels boasts an A2 fire rating, and high impact/ graffiti resistant qualities – all of which made it an ideal choice. The fact that it blends in perfectly with heritage stone was a key contributing factor to the contractor choosing it as a preferred material.
As a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to pre-cast concrete facades, Petrarch is extremely easy to manoeuvre and install on-site. Additionally it can be pre-cut, avoiding waste and aiding installation even more.
