Little Venice Westminster

In the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster, Westminster City Council (WCC) and City West Homes took a very proactive approach to evaluating their high-rise stock and identifying any tower which could be considered a fire risk. Consequently, after a wholesome Type 4 (invasive interior and exterior) evaluation, steps were taken to replace the Alucobond A2 Aluminium Composite Material Panel with a Soltherm EWI system across 6 Number 18 – 20 storey blocks within the Little Venice suburb.

From the pool of EWI systems available, WCC had elected to install Soltherm Ultimate HD Silicone. Offering industry leading options to enhance the building facade fire safety to A2, specifying this unique system future proofed against changes to regulatory fire standards.

Soltherm Ultimate HD Silicone was installed achieving the target U’ value of 0.28W/mK.
