The Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales has won the Retrofit Award at the Constructing Excellence in Wales Awards, recognising its pioneering work to reduce the carbon footprint of its historic estate.
As part of the Library’s ongoing development, AluK 58BW HI windows have been installed within a new £1.8m extension delivered by LEB Construction Ltd.
Fabricated by Limited , the Anthracite Grey windows maximise natural light and deliver the thermal performance required for the project, while complementing the bronze rainscreen cladding and historic stone surroundings.
A standout project demonstrating how contemporary performance can be introduced sensitively within an important heritage setting. Congratulations to Chris Reeks & LEB Construction Ltd.
