Strikingly Sharp Looks For Modern Business Park
Architectural roofing and cladding experts, Ash & Lacy Building Systems, have supplied a range of their
innovative Ashfab flashings to enhance the visual appeal of the Towers Business Park in Rugeley,
Staffordshire.
Inspiration for the contemporary design of the development originated from the cooling towers of an old
power station. Accurate perimeter detailing was deemed crucial to the design of the park's buildings
as they needed to blend in with the skyline and the surrounding views. Ash & Lacy were called upon to
create the look of modernity by employing a range of Ashfab components, including scintilla, galvanised
and liner flashings. Bespoke applications featuring several curved and powder coated flashings of up to
six metres in length were used to decorate the front façade of the courtyards, whilst specialist stucco
aluminium sabre tooth openings and rainwater systems were also supplied. The overall effect is a
visually stunning, futuristic business park, which gives an impression of sophistication and quality
for its occupants.
Ken Moseley, Quality & Purchasing Director for Traditional Structures, the company responsible for the
cladding work, chose Ash & Lacy for several reasons - "We have a long term association with Ash & Lacy.
They are able to offer good price performance with quality standards, combined with knowledge and
technical expertise on roofing. They notice the details and are able to fulfil our requirements."
Ash & Lacy has a full technical support team, knowledgeable in their field of sheet metal pattern
development techniques. They use the latest CAD tools to produce highly accurate drawings and the
Ashfab specialist department is on hand to assist customers with the best total envelope solution.
Owned by Pritchard Construction, the Towers Business Park development covers almost 50 acres of reclaimed
land is a much needed boost for the local economy. It is expected that the park, featuring a six storey
tower with its several courtyards which lends itself to the name 'tower,' will help to create 700 extra
jobs and 500,000 sq. ft. of space for high specification business units, low offices and other industrial
uses.
