Reinforced Brick Cladding
After a decade-long transformation the Midland Grand hotel, the Victorian palace attached to St Pancras station, was returned it to its original luxury in 2011.
It is nearly a century since The Midland Grand Hotel last flourished, and 76 years since it was a hotel at all. Bulmer supplied all the new arch bricks for this devoted restoration incorporating sixty five gothic, circular and semicircular arches in traditional Red Rubbers and fine lime putty joints, matching the design, proportions and style of the 150-year-old Gilbert Scott original. The arches were set out & hand cut at Brick Cutters' workshops.
The 1852 Grade 1 listed station has been completely refurbished and massively expanded whilst the station remained open for business. Brick Cutters designed & supplied large span brick arch lintels with hidden structural support that could be man handled into position without crane access.
This award winning project features conservation grade brickwork as well as stonework features and more than 80 brick arches for which Brick Cutters produced 28 of the more complicated arches.
West Elevation arches were set out & hand cut at Brick Cutters' workshops. The project won 4 titles and high praise from Judges at the 2006 Brick Awards. The Renaissance Hotel was completed in 2010 in similar style and quality.
The Library is an impressive timber and brick clad facade around a precast concrete frame. Brick Cutters was asked to design and supply the massive 12m hidden steel lintels to the large glass entrance and windows.
This prestigious development in Lots Road, Chelsea features structural segmental brick arch lintels supplied with calculations to meet building control regulations.
