Manchester Town
Hall Renovation

»»TuffX Processed Glass
was contracted to supply a
number of products from its
leading, processed glass range for
the renovation of Manchester
Town Hall.

The project has received the
regional award for Refurbished
or Recycled Workplaces, 2014,
from the British Council for
Offices (BCO). Here, the key
challenge was to ensure that the

new building was remodelled
using 21st Century, eco-friendly
design and construction
principles.
Consequently, TuffX supplied
polished and drilled, clear
toughened laminate glass in a
21.5mm thickness, which was
then incorporated into a staircase
inside the historic building.
Thanks to products such as
those from the TuffX range,
the challenging renovation now

preserves the historic Victorian
architecture and unique
appearance of the hall, whilst
balancing the look of the grade
2 listed building against modern
workplace functionality and
environmental standards.

is offered with a lifetime guarantee. The
glass was fixed into each frame as are the
brick slips that fit above and below the
windows.
A number of designs are available with
a bespoke option for consumers with
specific ideas for their gardens. The ponds
do not need footings to be reinforced or 9”
block work, as the strength and rigidity of
the finished product is in the framework
itself.

Garden Ponds please call TuffX Processed
