Walton Court – Facade Awards Shortlisted Petrarch Panel Project<\/h1><\/h1><\/div>“We have used Petrarch on a number of occasions and are advocates of this advanced reconstituted stone rainscreen system. Implemented in conjunction with the Downer Framing system it provided the resilient and modern finish that the architect and our end client were looking for. in contrast to pure stone cladding solutions it is much easier to handle on site, without the need for craning in – requiring simple off-scaffold installation.”<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>“This high-profile project presented numerous challenges, particularly in achieving the desired effect of an irregular faceted facade pattern on a monolithic building. To create such a standout impact, we developed nine unique facade modules, which standardised the construction process while maintaining the facade’s irregularity. Additionally, this overcame the challenges of installing fire stops in a varying cavity depth on a complicated facade. Finally, the choice of facade material was crucial.<\/p>\n
Initially, our client preferred a solid stone design, but it soon became clear that this would exceed the budget. Petrarch panels, with their reconstituted stone and marble composition, provided the look and feel of natural stone at a more favourable price point. Beyond cost, Petrarch’s striking aesthetic and lightweight versatility facilitated easy on-site installation, quickly winning over our clients.”<\/p>\n
