Hilton Hotel, T5 Heathrow.

Conceal by Guttercrest provided column and beam casings for a new 350 bedroom Hilton brand hotel at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.

Working closely with the architect the square aluminium column and beam casings were designed and manufactured to be fitted alongside Guttercrest’s aluminium box gutter system and traditional round cast aluminium downpipes, which were incorporated into the stonework aspect of the building.

To further enhance the building’s appearance, a specially manufactured polyester powder coating shade was sourced, giving an exact match to the building’s stonework.

In addition, Guttercrest supplied the fascias, soffits and the verge/barge cladding to the gable ends for the project; all of which were manufactured in-house and delivered to site on time.

The hotel building, set in landscaped grounds is clad primarily with facing brickwork incorporating contrasting brick coursing and reconstructed stone trims to window and feature areas. At ground level the main public spaces are faced with double glazed aluminium curtain walling to maximise natural light.
