The
new Brit Oval is a triumph of British design, engineering and
construction. Architects and Interior Designers on the project
were The Miller Partnership and a major part of their concept
centred on the living screen which features strident columns
and cross struts against the clean lines of metallic silver
profile steel clad walls and hanging foliage along its long
curved length.
The
metallic silver profile steel cladding specified for this project
is AP50 HR profile, considered by many to be one of the most
versatile and cost efficient wall claddings in today's high-tech
design and construction market.
AP50
HR is just one of a comprehensive range of profiles and cladding
systems from APL which also encompasses long span decking, secret
fix standing seam roof profiles, super-thin flat panel rainscreen
systems and many wall profiles including both live louvre and
louvre profiles systems.
Recent
design innovations from APL include a range of 'slim' details
encompassing slim verge, parapets and eave details. The structural
integrity of these details is provided by APL's patented Tritherm
spacer system which is also a fundamental component of most
of APL's roof and wall cladding systems.
Architectural
Profiles Limited work at the heart of the modern construction
industry and state that it is their engineering solutions which
are the driving force of the company rather than the more common
sales and volume led strategies of other profile providers.
