Highlights
122 Leadenhall - The Cheesegrater

The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.

Fruit and Wool Exchange

The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.

Caudwell International

Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

It’s time to be more selective – with SunGuard® SNX 70

SunGuard® SNX 70 offers some of our highest levels of selectivity, with up to 70% light transmission and outstanding energy performance in solar and thermal insulation. It's uniquely clean, natural finish and subtle reflectivity achieves a striking yet uniform aesthetic across design contours and different viewing angles. It may be particularly suited to healthcare and educational buildings, where higher levels of natural light could help encourage learning and recovery. As well as having its own EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) SunGuard SNX 70 has been independently assessed under the C2C environmental program and is certified Bronze, with a Gold score in the ‘Material Reutilization’ category.
