Downer Rainscreen Subframe System – DCS031 HELPING HAND System

‘The Bournemouth University Gateway Building is the new home for the faculty of health and social sciences at Bournemouth University and stands at the entrance to Bournemouth opposite the main railway station and ahead of the young and vibrant student area.’

Our client, TAC Projects were responsible for the entire implementation and installation:

We managed to deliver this impressive rainscreen facade which had been arranged with 3 different coloured Sotech panels to create a balanced random pattern. The glittering gold, silver and bronze anodised finish was developed with the architect to deliver a practical and economic solution.

Thank you for the kind words:

‘The support that the Downer framing support team offers is really something we’ve come to admire and trust in. Calculations are always dealt with speedily and we always know if there are any delays – they are true to the word. And the system itself is quick and easy to install.’ Steve Reed, TAC Projects
