The Cezanne House project was a re-clad of flats in London, formerly called Monet and Lackenel House.This entailed demolition of an existing building, and a 5 storey concrete frame built to accommodate 28 apartments. The project utilised Valcan’s A1 non-combustible products to ensure the requirements of the Approved Document B were met for high rise projects.
Panels were installed using the undercut anchor secret fix method on 12 mm Ceramapanel with the secret fix rail system. VitraDual panels were fabricated into discrete fixed cassette/tray panels. This install method allows for clean and crisp panel joints as seen in project photos.
