Carrying History At The Carriageworks

TuffX has supplied 60sq.m of specialist toughened glass for The Carriageworks Grade II listed building development in Bristol.

The refurbishment has been completed with materials chosen to complement the traditional styles and industrial heritage of the site.

TuffX delivered 49 individual panels of 15mm toughened monolithic glass with polished edges and dubbed corners for the apartment balconies, which overlook a new public marketplace.

 

 “This ambitious project brings an important historical site back to life in a modern way, enhancing both its indoor and outdoor spaces with the clever use of contemporary glass products.”

– Paul Higgins 

Commercial director, TuffX

 

Light

The glass balustrades also ensure that, inside, the open-plan apartments and penthouses remain light and airy. Altogether, the focus is on comfortable, top-spec city living which looks good inside and out and which will breathe new life into the historic hub.
