J&C Architectural Christmas Night Out

J&C Architectural Ltd Team

A Christmas Work Night Out

The team at J&C Architectural Ltd enjoyed a team-building Christmas night out together. We began our day with drinks, dinners, and desserts at the wonderful Il Pavone Italian restaurant in Glasgow’s Princes Street. The food and drinks were excellent, as was the service provided by the employees of Il Pavone.

Following this, we took on the challenge of Axe Throwing, Darts, Shuffleboard, Beer Pong, and the gauntlet team race of Nolf at Boom Battle Bar in St Enoch’s shopping Centre in Glasgow. Chaotic fun was had by all as teams formed for each of the games.

The final winners of each game were Simon for Axe throwing, Billy for Darts and Mandy took the top spot in points for Nolf. See the video below for our axe throwing champion, Simon in action.

We, at J&C Architectural Ltd would like to wish you all reading, a very Happy Holidays during this Winter season.

Eel Pie Island, Twickenham

Eel Pie Island, Twickenham

We are pleased to have recently completed our U-Channel glazing works to an exquisite and unique property on the picturesque and World Famous Eel Pie Island, on the River Thames, Twickenham.

This four bedroom Edwardian property, accessed only via a footbridge from Twickenham’s recently renovated Embankment, is situated on the closest inhabited Island nearest to the centre of London.

Having recently changed ownership and undergoing extensive renovations and upgrades the client sought some additional light into two upstairs bathrooms. Appropriating light from the staircase Velux window, the solid stair walls are replaced by Linit P23 & P26 Ultra Low Iron, Clarissimo, Toughened and Heat Soak Tested, sandblasted (Matt) units.

Our sincerest thanks go to South Derry Construction Limited who as Main Contractor kept the site running smoothly and safely.

J&C Architectural continues to work with our glass manufacturer Lamberts GmbH to provide Linit glass, manufactured from start to finish in their factory based in Germany, and maintaining an 8-week lead time for fabricated U-Channel glass from order to site.

Osier Way, London

Osier Way

Work begins! First delivery of materials being delivered to Osier Way, London in preparation for installation.

This huge residential development will see Communal areas, lift and stair cores seamlessly clad in Linit Toughened safety U-Profile glazing.  The built on-site nature of the system means that different components can be shipped, moved and stored on-site without the need for large lay down areas.  In this instance being installed off scaffold by hand without the need for specialist access equipment such as cranes of mast-climbers.  The limited specialised access requirements and relatively small components needed to install the Linit system make it a great fit for any project – especially those with challenging on-site logistics.

For advise on how Linit U-Profile glazing might be the right fit for your build, please contact J&C: info@j-cltd.co.uk

Tottenham Hale Train Station

Tottenham Hale Station

Tottenham Hale Train Station by night! This striking backlit façade was created using 7m high Linit U-Profile Glass Channels to the perimeter.

J&C Architectural Ltd fully designed, supplied and installed the Linit U-Profile glass on time and in budget.

We are proud of the innovative mid-span wind tie solution, designed and tested by J&C, that was used to overcome the high wind and suction loads on this project without impacting on the design intent of a minimalist build.

The versatility of the Linit U-Profile system allowed for the seamless integration of clear vision and obscured sections to allow privacy or natural light into different areas.

Completed in the summer of 2022 this flagship commercial build is another success story of Linit U-Profile glass being used cleverly and practically for a high profile statement project.
