Escape route covered at Langanbank retail park

in , /by

A recently opened retail park in Northern Ireland is using Guttercrest fascia cladding to encapsulate a fire escape on the exterior of the new PureGym building.

Located in Lisburn city centre with frontage onto one of the main routes through the city, Langanbank Retail Park is home to a range of national retailers.

The double storey building installed a fire escape route from its first floor mezzanine level for the projected maximum of 169 people that might need to use the escape from the first floor.

Guttercrest worked with installers GutterTec, to provide cladding which would house the steel-framed fire escape. Roof and vertical cladding were bespoke-pressed single skin to be fitted with hidden fixings and with minimal framework to keep the structure as lightweight and economical as possible.

Guttercrest’s arrowhead fascia uses secret fixed planks that can be run vertically or horizontally giving a seamless appearance. Panels are a highly adaptable form of aluminium cladding and can be manufactured to virtually any profile, shape and size. Available in polyester powder coating in any RAL or BS colour.
