OVERSLADE HOUSE
Social Housing Accommodation
A challenging refurbishment in Northampton required the Frameclad team’s expertise, resilience and adaptability to deliver on 40 new family apartments. Deploying their technical know-how, Frameclad designed, engineered, manufactured and supplied the light steel framing solutions, ensuring the project was completed to a high standard, on time and aligned to the client vision.
To combat the shortage of family housing in the well-connected Northampton area, former single persons’ accommodation block was chosen for regeneration and redevelopment by Northampton Homes. In need of an extensive transformation, the project demanded technical know-how and expertise to navigate challenges and deliver on the requirements of this development.

Case Studies
Think On Top Of The Box
Located in a coastal location, this was a conversion of an existing 3 storey concrete frame building into 9 townhouses. Frameclad provided the SFS infill to form new external walls to the existing levels then added a self-supporting top floor with SFS to give additional floor space to the scheme. Due to the restrictive nature of the site and the need to keep the new loadings of the upper floor to a minimum, SFS was the ideal solution for the developer.
