Since the tragic event at Grenfell Tower in June 2017 there has been a great deal of work carried out to identify buildings that are clad with unsafe products.
A2O got involved at a very early stage in building BS8414 test rigs at the BRE to determine whether a current build-up is appropriate and whether an intended installation will pass.
In addition to the completed Case Studies below, we are currently recladding several London residential and hotel buildings.
In partnership with RJ Facade Systems and Hydro, A2O now installs subgrids in LEC (low embodied carbon) Recycle Grade 4.0 aluminium. This reduces carbon emissions by over 40% compared to standard European aluminium.
On facade remediations where A2O is principal contractor, the aluminium reclad strip can be collected and recycled, slashing the subgrid’s carbon footprint by over 93%.
