Uncommon

Uncommon Holborn formerly known as Templar House has been extensively refurbished providing a modern work space for more than 2,000 people.
JPJ designed, manufactured and installed all new aluminium glazing systems for the Curtain Walling, Windows and Doors. All of the systems provided were made to be in keeping with the period appearance of the building and surrounding area.
The existing façade and frame were retained and sensitively restored to give the 1950’s building another lease of life with a lower carbon footprint and reduced emissions. JPJ Installations Ltd were awarded the fenestration contract with the following Kawneer UK products fabricated and installed: AA720 Windows to the High Holborn façade AA543 Tilt and turn windows to the link floors 1 through to 8 AA100 Curtain walling to the stair cores and both High Holborn and Eagle St shopfronts AA110 Rooflights to the 1st floor atrium meeting spaces AA545 Balcony doors to the link floors 1, 7 & 8 AA190TB Main entrance doors AA3720 Roof terrace bifold doors The project presented many design challenges in achieving the required fenestration values but the Kawneer products exceeded in all parameters. For the High Holborn windows JPJ were asked to replicate the existing 1950’s aluminium multipane horizontal sliders. For this we used our AA720Hi thermally broken window system. The acoustic glass units incorporated integra bars and specially cut powder coated astragal bars bonded to the inside and outside faces of the glass to match.
