Norbury Police Station

We worked closely with the architect and main contractor on this block of flats, located at the back of an old historic police station in Norbury

For this new build project we needed to copy the size and the colour of the concrete panels from the front of the building (police station) into the modern block of flats located at the rear.

The main structure of the new building was a metal support structure, and a Metsec wall system, which gave Contexture the challenge to designing light weight GRC panels (Glass fiber reinforced concrete) which were to be installed on to our rain screen system to achieve the fire rating of 120minutes.

We used a bespoke mix of concrete with slight variation in colour between the panels to get perfect result.

Our panels were the exact size as the original building (1000×400) with minimal spaces of 3mm between the panels. in addition we have also created all the surrounding windows and windows sill to match the concrete colour through-out the project.
