A throwback to One Angel Square today; a striking office building in Northampton and winner of the RIBA East Midlands Award in 2018. The vertical copper fins on the façade were chosen to prevent overheating whilst contributing to the stunning aesthetics. Renson’s high airflow 481 louvres were supplied with motorised dampers which could be controlled via the building management system (BMS) and helped to regulate the airflow. In addition to this, our continuous louvre system, Linius was required, with the highly technical L.066V blade being chosen for its significant weather protection (Class A up to 1m/s).

One Crown Place is a striking, mixed-use development, close to Liverpool Street Station in the commercial heart of London. Two towers providing a mixture of private residential apartments and office and retail spaces.Rising 28 and 33 stories, the towers provide glorious views across the city of London, however it is down at ground level that Renson’s Linius L.050W CLS system was required.Renson worked closely with MACE to achieve a complex design layout for this louvred façade to a ground floor plant area.This highly technical blade, offering significant weather protection up to 3m/s airspeed, whilst still providing excellent airflow at 57% free area & K-Factor of 10.47.We often see the L.050W blade being used in Data Centres due its high performance, providing airflow, reducing humidity and offering significant visual protection.

This mixed-use development is located on the former site of the Elizabeth Arden factory in North Acton, hence the fragrant name! In fact some elements of the Art Deco factory still remain.There are a number of new buildings on the site, however Renson were brought in by Ardmore to provide the ventilation louvres on the tower blocks, which were actually designed to mimic perfume bottles.Our 414 (50% Free Area) louvres were supplied with backing panels only, insulation to be installed on site. We can usually adapt and supply our louvres exactly how you want them, this is what the customer wanted, so that is what they got!Finally, our close relationships with glazing system suppliers means we can coordinate on projects such as this to ensure smooth installation and matching finish. 

For Gare Maritime at the Brussels Tour & Taxis site, Renson was the only manufacturer able to meet the requirements of client Extensa for the windproof sun protection fabric. The original structure of the building has been preserved with the help of a steel support structure placed every 12 metres. The challenge was to make the sun protection fabric completely cover the equally wide windows. In the 1900s, Gare Maritime served as one of the largest logistics sites in the world for the transport of goods by rail and waterways. After the Royal Warehouse, this old freight station at the Tour & Taxis site was also due for a makeover. It has now been converted into a multifunctional complex with 30,000 m² of offices and 12,000 m² of retail and commercial space.In total, 1750 m² of Renson sun protection fabric has been installed along the 280 m long façade. The installation of the made-to-measure Fixscreens of no less than 36 m² was a real ‘tour de force’ for the installer, who placed the screens at a height of 13 metres.The screens block the sun even before it reaches the glass. In a natural and sustainable way, the screens prevent the offices from becoming too warm and keep the light from reflecting on the computer screens. At the same time, a view of the outside can be enjoyed even with the screens down.“Challenges such as these inspire us to think along with the customer”, says Renson. “The maximum surface of our windproof screens is normally 22 m², but for this project both the fabrics and the fabric boxes were made to measure. Thanks to a special motor and the use of specific fabrics, the screens can withstand a higher wind load.”
