Louvres supplied by AW Louvers were used in a number of levels of the new Goodluck Hope mixed-use development on the banks of the River Thames.
Eire Façade Systems UK, chosen to manage the building envelope contract, specified and installed 45 number MR34ZGL glazed-in louvers with aluminium backing panels fitted to the rear. These Z shaped blades provide a 34mm-blade pitch, and 35% physical free area.
The louvres ranged from the largest 2,133mm x 2,723mm high to the smallest 1,804mm x 2,413mm.
AW Louvers’ director Wayne Irvine said: “The MR34ZGL glazed-in louvres were finished in 9006 Matt Metallic at 60 microns, which matches the industrial aesthetic of the project perfectly, while meeting the demands of the Qualicoat standard,”
“We then delivered the louvers to site on A-frames on time, where they were promptly crane-lifted into position.”
The company also provided 200 MR50ZGL glazed-in louvres to MWP Installations, which were installed on some of the lower levels. These were powder-coated to a marine guaranteed standard.
Goodluck Hope is a new riverside neighbourhood comprising 841 homes on the historic Leamouth Peninsula. Surrounded by water on three sides, and situated adjacent to London City Island, developer Ballymore has helped transform the area’s industrial past into a modern, welcoming district.
The 2.7ha-site also includes 2,300 square metres of commercial space, 250 square metres of education floorspace, and a restored Grade II-listed Orchard Dry Dock.
