CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“d+b facades have carried out two significant projects for the University of Bradford both of which have been completed safely to a requisite quality, on programme and within budget. The first project was carried out over 5 yrs ago to two elevations of the 12 story Richmond Building. The second is in the throes of early completion and comprises full overcladding to a complete wing of the School of Computing, Informatics and Media, together with replacement curtain walling to the main staircase. We have found that the aluminium cassette/NorDan window combination gives three fold value for money, the appearance of the facades is vastly enhanced, the airtightness is almost 100% and the insulation properties hugely improved”.
