Sapa Building Systems has completed an extensive renovation project on behalf of Cornwall County Council as part of their planned maintenance programme, which included replacing a large area of curtain walling at East Looe Community School.

The area of curtain walling, over 37 metres in length and three storeys high, had to be replaced and completed within the five-week summer holiday break.

The exposed site demanded high performance from the curtain walling system as well and rapid on-site installation.

A white polyester powder coat finish was utilised on the aluminium and each of the floor levels incorporated aluminium panels finished in a distinctive sapphire blue colour. The units were double glazed with the external pane consisting of solar glass to meet the client’s requirement for energy conservation and to reduce the internal summertime temperatures and discomfort from solar radiation.
