They collaborated with Metal Profiles Limited, a prominent installer that specialises in bespoke metal fabrications, to complete this important improvement.
Project Details
The project required the construction of a unique Aluminium Box Gutter system and 102x102mm Aluminium Square Downpipes. This system was chosen for its durability, visual appeal, and ability to manage high water flow, guaranteeing that the building’s façade is protected from water damage.
