A stunning Glass Roof PR60 measuring an incredible 44 metres long and 9 metres wide, as well as three other Glass Roofs PR60, were installed at the new £65 million, Science, Engineering and Environmental Building (SEE Building) at the University of Salford.
What makes this project special?
Designed under the concept of incorporating high sustainability credentials which supports the university’s pledge in reducing the environmental impact, as part of the wider Salford Crescent and University District masterplan.
The largest rooflight was glazed with an impressive total of 120 fixed glass panels.
Specified with Class 1 Fragility, suitable for walking on for cleaning and maintenance loads, according to CWCT TN 66 /TN 67 & TN92.
Extensive water tightness testing was carried out where CWCT hose tests were passed successfully, as testament to the quality and durability of the installation led by the LAMILUX installation team.
Integrated ventilation panels were installed within the three smaller PR60 Glass Rooflights to provide the ideal solution to provide natural ventilation.
To avoid overheating and glare inside the building, special 60/30 high performing solar glazing was used.
