About the project
HB Aluminium supplied curtain walling and doors at Rotherham Interchange. A separate news item from 2019 reports that HB had completed the curtain walling doors at the new Rotherham Interchange Bus Station.
The photograph shows a glazed entrance pavilion with a curved roof, a format where curtain walling forms the enclosure and the doors have to work within the glazed framing.
Delivery considerations
General points that apply to this type of work.
- Transport buildings are used throughout the day by large numbers of people, so entrances need to suit frequent use.
- Where doors sit within curtain walling, the door frames, framing grid and weather seals have to be coordinated as one package.
