Shackerley, the UK’s leading manufacturer of ceramic granite ventilated cladding systems, has supplied BENCHMARK with over 5000m2 of white ceramic granite façade for three striking new facilities developed for Avon & Somerset Police. The highly polished large format panels were specially prefabricated at Shackerley’s ISO 9001 accredited manufacturing facility for installation onto the BENCHMARK Karrier Engineered Façade System.
The developments were delivered by Blue Light Partnership as part of an £80 million PFI project to provide attractive, modern and energy efficient accommodation, comprising custody and crime investigation centres, specialist support units and police stations.
Collaborating closely to ensure commonality of design, Ryder Architecture designed two new centres in Bridgwater and Patchway whilst Haverstock led the design of a third facility in Keynsham.
Whilst the BENCHMARK Karrier Engineered Façade System was specified by Miller Construction, the ceramic granite facades were specified by architects at Ryder.
“We’ve used Shackerley’s Sureclad® ceramic granite cladding with great success on many recent projects,” explained Associate Jonathan Seebacher, “so we knew exactly how this material could help us to achieve the high quality, timeless appearance we were seeking across the suite of projects.”
The police centres are the latest additions to a long list of prestigious projects featuring a Sureclad® ceramic granite façade coupled with the BENCHMARK Karrier Engineered Façade System. Specifiers are able to take advantage of synergistic benefits provided by this exceptionally attractive and well insulated engineered cladding solution, thanks to a long term alliance forged between Shackerley and BENCHMARK By Kingspan.
