Wembley Point
Goods Corner, Edinburgh
This prestigious project sits just off the North Circular in the shadow of Wembley. It towers high above all around it and places an imposing mark on the sky line. This is a full refurbishment of a reinforced concrete structure. All existing external walls were removed and replaced – along with infill floor sections – to the whole of the building.
Frameclad employed a number of specialist techniques to deal with the inconsistency of the existing build – As Built information was sometimes difficult to come by and slightly inaccurate – however, the build went tremendously well and both specialist installer partner Buildtherm and the client RGB are delighted with the results.
Infill extensions to the concrete floors were a particular challenge.
There are plans to introduce further structural amendments to the penthouse – Frameclad and the project developers are looking at options to make this a reality.

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.
