Quantal’s largest

Quantal supplied its roofing system to the largest ‘Luminatrium’ (large unique glazed building) project in the world.

With a total glass area of 3,347m2 (35,500ft2) the structure is made up of five main elements linked together by glass corridors, and is one of the largest roofs of its type anywhere in the world. Components include three octagon designed sections and two expansive square sections.

Quantal was specified for this project through Sash UK and Makinen Venture Corporation (MVC), an Italian architectural practice, to supply its aluminium roofing system. The system will be installed in Equatorial Guinea, Africa.

“The structure spans a huge area and will be remarkable once completed. What was fundamental in our specification was the structural quality of our aluminium roof system. Also due to the sheer scale of the project, the need for an engineered solution and ease of installation were massive contributing factors,” said Ian Cocken, sales manager, Quantal.

The project will provide a substantial extension to the living quarters of the original home providing room for banqueting and socialising. One of the atriums will also be used to house a collection of unusual and exotic flora.
