Specialists in renovation and replacement of glass block walls, floorlights, domes & rooflights to heritage and listed buildings.
There are many Listed Buildings within the United Kingdom which feature glass block walls, mullion bar windows, domes and glass/ferro-concrete rooflights. In most instances and with the age of such buildings, these constructions are now suffering the ravages of time and exposure to the elements necessitating renovation or total replacement.
We have been involved in the refurbishment and re-construction of many Listed Building projects. Unlike any of our competitors, Luxcrete can provide a unique service to heritage projects, our specialist knowledge in this niche sector is enviable. With the present companyтАЩs roots dating back to 1898 when the concept of pressed glass prisms was first patented, Luxcrete can provide either a full restoration service to existing glass/concrete constructions or total replacement to glass block domes, canopies and rooflights by exactly replicating these features in every respect.
Drawings of the original Pilkington's corner blocks together with several carefully removed samples taken from panels on site were used to enable production of new moulds to manufacture the exact replacements. Minor adjustments were made to the sizes to enable compatibility with the reeded pattern metric blocks manufactured by Oberland A.G. which were to be used to replace all the square glass blocks and keep the project within a reasonable budget.
