HKL Specialists offers curtain walling, rainscreen cladding, fire-rated glazing, structural framing systems, windows and doors. We work with Tier 1 main contractors, developers, public sector organisations and industrial and commercial building owners.
We offer smaller facade packages, fire protection, liquid-applied roofing, refurbishment and remediation – as well as summer school holiday facade remediation.
These are questions that get more expensive the later they are asked. Early input means the output does not just have fewer problems – it is better designed and has better procurement.
Safety culture is what happens when the pressure is on, when the programme is behind, when a short-cut is available and when nobody senior is watching.
For those procuring or delivering facade packages – particularly on residential buildings above 18 metres – the implications are already being felt and the full weight of the regime is still being absorbed across the industry.
