Working on behalf of main contractor Caddick Construction North West, CCL Facades delivered the glazing package at Edward Street in Stockport, a residential development for Guinness Developments Ltd.

Designed by Bowker Sadler Architecture, the scheme forms part of a wider regeneration programme, providing high-quality new homes supported by a modern and high-performance building envelope.

CCL Facades was appointed to design, supply and install the aluminium windows, curtain walling and doors, delivering a coordinated facade solution that meets the project’s thermal, acoustic and performance requirements.

A Complete Facade Package

The facade package comprised approximately 1,866 sqm of glazing, incorporating a combination of aluminium windows, curtain walling and commercial doors.

The window systems were manufactured using thermally broken aluminium sections, designed to deliver strong thermal insulation, airtightness and watertightness. The systems were also engineered to withstand wind loading while contributing to acoustic performance, supporting internal comfort for residents.

Curtain walling was formed using a capped system with 50mm wide mullions and transoms, incorporating a fully pressure-plated assembly with external cover caps to create a clean and consistent external appearance. All glazing was fixed on four sides using a continuous pressure profile system, ensuring both structural integrity and long-term durability.

The doors were manufactured using commercial aluminium sections and designed to meet PAS24 security standards, supporting secure access across the development.

All systems were polyester powder coated and glazed using solar control double glazed units, enabling the facade to achieve the required thermal performance targets.

Sustainability in Mind

The glazing systems were designed to achieve an average U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, with enhanced areas reaching 1.2 W/m²K, supporting the overall energy efficiency of the development. Acoustic performance was also a key consideration, with glazing delivering up to 38dB sound reduction to minimise external noise and improve internal comfort.

Additional technical considerations included Class 2 barrier loadings to windows, along with the integration of Juliet balconies fixed directly to the window and curtain wall systems. Spandrel panels, insulated build-ups and associated detailing were incorporated to ensure continuity of performance across the building envelope.

The installation was delivered over a 28-week programme, with mast climbers providing safe and efficient access at height. Close coordination with the wider project team ensured installation sequencing aligned with the main construction programme, maintaining consistency across multiple elevations while achieving the required quality standards.
