Project Overview

Located in a prominent location on the Morecambe seafront, the Broadway Apartments project was large new build steel frame apartment block. A challenging project to be involved with, as M H Stainton Homes wanted to create an iconic building on a corner location. The steel frame was key, combined with curved glazing on the corner elevation of the building. Then a lightweight cladding solution was required for the rest of the façades. A direct fix system suitable for steel frame structures and all building heights was specified, ensuring the safety of both the building and future residents. After numerous design meetings the K Systems Direct Fix M (Mineral Wool) EWI system with a Silicone Render (TC 15) finish was chosen, meeting the requirements of M H Stainton Homes. This system provides high levels of fire resistance and non-combustibility bringing the apartments in line with mandatory Government requirements for buildings over 18 metres tall.
