The Arches Centre, a health centre in Belfast, has been transformed with innovative use of Technal's architectural aluminium systems including around 100 windows in large spans, different colour combinations and frame sizes.
A "stained" glass façade constructed uses double glazed units are structurally bonded to the curtain walling system to give the appearance of one large pane of glass. An abstract image of a flower, signifying regeneration, growth and health, was printed onto vinyl film and applied to the inner face of the double glazed units.
The glazing systems were fabricated and installed by WFM Ltd in two contracts worth around £700,000.
