Renson UK contributes to the redevelopment of London’s Perfume Factory
Posted on 13/10/2023
Leading ventilation louvre specialist Renson UK has supplied its market leading systems to the infamous Perfume Factory in London, contributing to an overall redevelopment project.
Designed by leading UK architecture and interior design firm Carey Jones Chapman Tolcher and managed by Ardmore Construction, the redevelopment at the site of the former Elizabeth Arden Perfume Factory marks a significant milestone for the site.
Comprising of five buildings, including a 31-storey tower, the development consists of over 600 bespoke student rooms and 85 build-to-rent apartments, along with a seven-storey commercial office space with retail units on the ground floor.
All five towers are constructed using traditional brickwork, including the 96m central structure, which forms the site’s iconic identifier.
It was critical to Carey Jones Chapman Tolcher that all parties involved in the project had experience in the construction of high-rise developments, and with 50 years of experience in designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance ventilation products, Renson UK was the perfect candidate for the supply of louvres.
For this project, Renson UK supplied its 414 glazed in louvres, which are made from extruded aluminium sections and stainless steel 304 insect screen.
414 louvres have a blade pitch of 33.3mm and can accommodate most glazing thicknesses. They also have a nominal free area of 50%, and are weather and aerodynamically tested to EN 13030, having achieved a class A weathering classification.
Renson UK National Sales Manager Martin Daniels comments: “At Renson UK, we’re very proud to see our market-leading ventilation systems contributing to the transformative redevelopment of the iconic Perfume Factory in London. This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality, fully tested louvres for even the most demanding applications.”
Renson UK supplies fully tested, high-quality louvres and mechanical ventilation products for every application.
These include removable louvre panels, door systems, cladding systems, specification trickle vents, and self-regulating window ventilators.
All products offer outstanding weathertightness and have been fully tested to the highest standards, having undergone rigorous BSRIA testing.
