Metal Technology Trades Well in Newcastle

Carliol Square, named after a 13th century, rich, merchant family, is the prestige location for a stunning new office building in Newcastle-upon-Tyne with its most impressive façade created using Metal Technology’s architectural aluminium glazing. Direct Developments led the project team including Chris Fairley Architects, Metnor Construction and fabricators AC Yule for client St Margaret’s Trust.

Carliol Central is a four storey commercial development and its unusual wedge shape is designed to offer a stand-alone, convenient workplace which has direct access to the Tyne Bridge and the A1. Metal Technology’s facetted System 17 provides the highly visible attractive façade with its strong horizontal focus created through the use of its distinctive aerofoil covercap.

The dramatic corner detail was created by welding specially modified aerofoil caps in order to accommodate the unusual shape of the building. Appearing like a floating ship alongside the motorway, this dramatic building looks good in any weather, with its grey tinted solar control glass and grey aluminium cladding.

Document L compliant System 17 profiles are specifically designed to give limitless flexibility to architects. Designed on a stick system, a wide range of caps ensures that the external projections suit the character and restrictions of the building. Metal Technology has a wide portfolio of commercial, educational, health and leisure projects, demonstrating its ability to offer glazing solutions to clients and architects for both standard and complex facades.
