Stephenson Quarter Newcastle upon Tyne

OVERVIEW

Material and system specification used: Kalzip FC rainscreen in 500mm wide RAL 1035 pearl Beige and RAL 7022 – also Kalzip wall perforated 


       Stephenson Quarter is a major mixed-use development in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne by the Clouston Group.

 

The site was home to the Robert Stephenson and Co. Locomotive Works, the crucible of the railway industry, where the revolutionary Rocket was built in 1829.

The site includes the new Crowne Plaza Hotel and The Rocket (offices) plus Stephenson qtr Car park

 

 

Installation of over 1500 m2 of FC rainscreen cladding to the Rocket building in RAL 7022 and RAL 1035 Pearl Beige in between stone cladding on the Crown Plaza Hotel

Kalzip Perforated facade was used to create a feature between the main brick work for the car park


Key challenges overcome:  With 3 phases of the project to undertake over a period of 18 months. Working at height in a very tight, exposed city centre location, needed a high quality over-cladding solution with neat joints that was quick and easy to install. The product needed to integrate with the window system and other cladding facade materials
