ACS: Specialists in Brick Cutting for Prestigious Projects
At ACS, we take pride in our role as specialists in brick cutting and fabrication, complementing our flagship FastClad Brick Slip Systems. Recently, we collaborated with EHSmith Facades on the prestigious Old Paradise Street project in London, where our expertise was pivotal. For this £28 million project led by Bywater Properties and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, we meticulously cut Ceipo Ceramic Blocks, ensuring each piece met stringent architectural requirements while preserving structural integrity. This level of precision, exemplified in our work for Old Paradise Street, showcases ACS’s dedication to quality and accuracy in supporting innovative and ambitious architectural developments across the UK.
Government allocating £1 Billion to Removing Dangerous Cladding.
What Makes Cladding Dangerous? Understanding what makes cladding “dangerous” is critical as the UK Government allocates £1 billion to remove unsafe materials. Dangerous cladding typically refers to façade materials that pose high risks in terms of fire safety, durability, or performance. Following the 2017 Grenfell Tower tragedy, stricter regulations have been enforced, focusing on the combustibility and flammability of cladding. FastClad’s certified A2-rated systems offer a safe solution, meeting fire safety requirements for high-rise applications and ensuring compliance with modern building codes.
