Structura

When you need the design, manufacture and maintenance of all types of glazed structures, curtainwalling, structural glazing, entrance systems and system or bespoke high-performance windows, speak to us. As atrusted partner of many of the UK's leading architects, surveyors, building owners, specifiers and facilities managers, we deliver architectural glazing, translucent building products and services that will improve the value of your office, commercial, light industrial and education premises.

We've been designing, manufacturing, installing and repairing architectural glazing for over 25 years. As award-winning structural glazing specialists, we excel at managing projects that many other structural glazing engineers find too complex. We often undertake major works on occupied properties and provide on or off-site refurbishment services for listed buildings. We design and install glazing and faades for properties in hard-to-reach or sensitive locations, which have included the BT Tower, Aldwych House, 110 High Holborn and The National Archives.

All glazing needs to be well looked after to ensure the optimum lifespan, which is why we offer a choice of planned glazing maintenance programmes. We offer a complete maintenance service for everything that involves glass including windows, doors, curtain walling, faades and atria roofs in public, commercial or large, multi-occupier residential buildings. By having your building's glazing checked regularly, you can rest assured that potential problems will be identified and small repairs carried out long before they become a major headache.

You need to be sure that the architectural glazing you choose is right for your project, for now, and years to come. We work with architects, surveyors, builders and building users to design, specify, manufacture and install the best structural glazing solution for each project. We design architectural glazing using the latest Computer AidedDesign systems to ensure that the structural glazing for your project can be manufactured and installed quickly and cost-effectively.

A leaking roof or atrium, or leaking glazing of any type, will have a negative impact the value of a building faster than almost any other type of problem. If you need to find the source of the problem, you need a leak investigation expert who can not only identify the problem but who can undertake leak repairs quickly. We use sophisticated leak detection techniques so that our experienced team of engineers can quickly repair leaks with little or no disruption to building occupants.

Pyramid Skylights - pre-engineered in three standard pitches, from 4ft to 20ft wide, Kalwall Pyramids are designed for rapid installation from the outside, meaning minimal disruption to occupants. Geo-Roofs - factory-made geo-dome skylights which are available in virtually any size from 8' to 24'. Particularly popular for use in retail and lobby areas, they deliver diffuse daylighting that showcases merchandise with perfect colour. Pre-engineered Skyroofs have spans of up to 24 feet and offer a highly energy-efficient, diffuse daylighting.

Installing new curtain walling is a highly cost-effective way to change the appearance and performance of a building and enhance its value. We work with you to design, manufacture and install glazing systems for refurbishment projects, alterations and new-builds. You can be sure that your curtain walling project will not only look brilliant but can also help protect against heat gain and offer sound insulation. We design, manufacture and install curtain wall systems including Schueco, RAICO and Raynaers.

If you would like to be part of a friendly, customer-centric team at our head office and factory in Chessington or at our drawing and estimating office in Ashford, Kent, please get in touch and explain why you would like to join our company. We offer training for candidates who have the right core skills and aptitude and as a member of the Centre for Windows and Cladding Technology, we contribute to setting standards for training in the architectural glazing and curtain walling industry. We aim to instil a culture of health and safety right from the start, with a health and safety audit and plan as a key part of every project.

To help retain or enhance the value of your building, we offer a one-stop Refinishing and Repairs service including glass repairs and polishing, on-site or off-site paint re-spraying and general glazing or curtain wall remedials. The works were undertaken over a 26 week period and required careful and concurrent working with the internal refurbishment contractor. The final product is something to be proud of and I would not hesitate to recommend Structura to manage and deliver this type of project.

The insulating translucent building material that draws the full spectrum of natural light deep into buildings. Kalwall fills spaces with well-balanced, natural daylight with the help of millions of prismatic glass fibres embedded in each panel's translucent face sheets. Panels are factory pre-fabricated to the exact size and configuration you need for your project. Panels can be flat or curved, and opening or fixed glazed window can also be incorporated using the integral Clamp-tite™ installation system.

Kalwall offers architects and project managers a complimentary daylight modelling service to help plan how natural light will penetrate a building, helping them create spaces that need as little artificial lighting as possible. By reducing the need for electrical light and improving insulation, building owners can see reduced carbon emissions and create environments that positively affect the performance, mood and wellbeing of occupants. Daylight modelling predicts the pattern of daylight on any building through software and physical scale modelling.

Panels are held in place using Kalwall's proprietary Clamp-tite™ aluminium fastening system, which is available in a standard or thermally-broken version with a variety of finishes. Kalwall lightweight, shatterproof, and rapidly installed. It offers architects and project managers high-performing structural integrity. You can specify Kalwall for all or part of the walls or roof of any building or for a complete freestanding structure. Product applications include walls, window walls, curtain walling, skylights, pre-engineered and custom skyroofs, canopies and walkways.

Kalwall is the most highly insulating, diffuse light-transmitting, structural sandwich panel in the world. Kalwall uses technology that harvests balanced, natural daylight while providing the ultimate in energy efficiency. Kalwall offers a wide range of insulation packages, from 1.25 to 0.28 W/m2k, Kalwall's exceptional thermal performance lets specifiers customise properties based on light level targets, climate zones and building type, as well as building orientation and microclimatic considerations.

Whatever curtain walling or architectural glazing service you need, we have the expertise to help from the moment your project is conceived, through to manufacture, installation and ongoing maintenance or repairs. Architects, surveyors and developers call on us for specialist advice, estimating and technical consultation from the minute a project is conceived. We help with scoping the project and produce pre-construction CAD drawings in our dedicated drawing office. Project managers rely on our management skills and experience to coordinate resources, materials and specialist plant and equipment.
