‘Europe’s largest inland marina’
February 2016

The £1.7 million Mercia Marina development, near Willington in Derbyshire, said to be the largest inland marina in Europe, has commercial door and curtain walling systems from Jack Aluminium.

The project has been the recipient of both regional and national awards from the LABC Building Excellence Awards.
Jack Aluminium’s customer, Logic Aluminium of Nottingham, was hired to provide commercial doors and curtain walling for the Boardwalk.

The Jack Door TD68 was designed to reduce fabrication time and wastage, while being thermally efficient. It is also a Secured by Design approved product when manufactured using Jack Aluminium’s technical information, further meeting the demands of modern commercial property developers and owners.

This is complemented by the Jack Aluminium Curtain Wall Suite which utilises a combination of aluminium and PVCu to assist the building performance, in terms of thermal efficiency and long-term aesthetic appearance.

After being voted overall winner at the LABC Building Excellence Awards’ East Midlands regional ceremony in July 2015, the Boardwalk project went on to be crowned Britain's Best Small Commercial Building at the national awards in October.

Jack Aluminium Sales & Marketing Director Jeff Pearson said: “Aluminium’s fusion of durability and aesthetics make it the ideal material for high-end commercial projects like the Boardwalk at Mercia Marina. Logic Aluminium have done a superb job that really complements the overall development and we’re extremely proud to be associated with this award-winning venue.”
