Jack Aluminium’s excellent U-value performance curtain walling and PAS 24 thermal TD68 Jack Door are widely specified for the exterior of buildings, but their slim line frame and easy assembly, ‘clip in plate and ladder’ system has brought them inside for refurbishment at former BBC broadcasting offices.

Essex-based IDF Aluminium Ltd used 29 Jack Doors and 15 Jack Aluminium Curtain Walling screens to build internal office partitions inside Henry Wood House in London, The Office Group’s new 76,000 sq ft high end office space.

Buckley Gray Yeoman Architecture explains why Jack Aluminium Systems was specified: “We were looking for a slim line metal frame window system for use in one of our projects and for our own offices. The key factors for us in selecting a system were the ability to customise the solution, manufacturing lead times and of course the price. For the project we selected a dark grey metal frame with Georgian plate glass to give the windows a nod to the mid-century.”

William Woods, Director at IDF Aluminium adds: “We have worked with Jack Aluminium for many years using its doors and curtain walling system to create impressive building entrances, schools frontages and even an aerodrome terminal. When we started looking for a system to use internally we thought of Jack Aluminium curtain walling straightaway. It allowed us to use large glass panels to create as much light as possible and the ‘clip in plate and ladder’ system made it simple to manoeuvre into the building and assemble once inside.”
