Eco-friendly clubhouse
July 2015

Floor to ceiling glazing based on low U-value 125mm reinforced aluminium curtain walling from JACK ALUMINIUM was one of the most striking features of a £3 million improvement programme at Richmond Park Golf Club in Surrey.

The system was chosen by Yorkshire-based MBE Glazing Systems Ltd for the eco-friendly clubhouse building which has been built to BREEAM excellence standard.

MBE Glazing Managing Director Popsie Singh explained: “When it comes to specifying products for low rise applications such as leisure, retail and commercial buildings, Jack Aluminium’s curtain wall system is ideal. It has aluminium and PVCu pressure plates which improve the thermal performance so we can achieve low u-values and I really like how quick it is to assemble on site with the ‘clip-in plate’ and ladder system.”

The golf course was originally opened in 1923 by HRH Prince Edward of Wales and retains its Royal beginnings with the Duke’s and Prince’s 18 hole golf courses. The new clubhouse, which features a coffee shop, bar and restaurant, has been designed to provide panoramic views of the club’s two courses and blend in with its parkland surroundings with the roof covered in the same grass as the park.
