col our In Need of Rejuvenating Powdertech (Corby) Ltd has recently completed a refurbishment project in the historic Cathedral Quarter of Lincoln. 40589 - Kolorseal - HLF.pdf 1 18/06/2015 16:09:49 »»There are many buildings of historic interest along notable streets including Steep Hill and The Strait, but Danesgate House, built in 1963 was not an attractive addition to the area. It is now used as student accommodation but the 1960s concrete cladding looking particularly tired and out of place, windows and façade needed replacing and better insulation was required. Aluminium cassette rain screen cladding consisting of 200mm planks in a clapperboard style was chosen to replace the concrete. Powdertech Corby Sales Director Richard Besant explained: “The existing red brick of the building was retained and the designers wanted the colour and pattern of the cladding to enhance this and also blend in with the historic buildings nearby. We were asked to source five shades of grey to be applied to fifteen batches of 200mm aluminium planks. We selected five from the Valspar range.” In order to minimise disruption to residents, the refurbishments was carried out within a tight timescale. Powdertech Corby coated and delivered 2500m² of aluminium across an eight week period. The windows were replaced with larger, grey, double glazed slim-profile frames. The building now complements the surrounding architecture and the powder coating will last in excess of 20 years, benefitting residents and onlookers alike.
