D+b facades UK is a design and build overcladding company that specialises in overcladding occupied high-rise buildings, ‘delivering quality projects’, on time, within budget, and with minimal disruption to building occupants and users’.
The company says it recognises that ‘the single most onerous constraint’ on a hospital site being refurbished or redeveloped is ‘minimisation of disruption to patient services’. It said: “We take single-point responsibility for the entire project – from survey and design, through to repair and installation. We provide new-buildequivalent warranties for the complete works, including the new envelope, the existing structure’s ability to withstand the newly imposed loads, and the longterm integrity of the existing, underlying structure. “We can unequivocally demonstrate both proven performance of our proprietary system over 20 years, and proven energy and operational carbon savings quantified to be around 70% per annum.” A video, viewable at www.dbfacades.com/ d+b_residential.html provides more information.
