It’s designed by the same architect, Richard Rogers, the man behind the Millennium Dome, or O2 Arena as it is now known. At 225 metres (737 feet) tall, it has 48 floors, accessed by a total of 29 lifts, with 560 windows – all featuring Roto hardware. The windows are inclined inwards at 10 degrees. Since Tilt&Turn hardware is generally intended for use on installations that stand vertically, Roto engineers have designed and manufactured bespoke hinges especially for this project, and they form part of a dedicated hardware specification based on the ALU T540 system. Some of the windows act as external entry points for the emergency services. On these, a flush-encased gearbox is fitted. This has a spindle drive, which can be accessed from the outside by fire crews. Roto has worked closely with contractor Yuanda, providing consultation and on-site support during the installation process. The Leadenhall building is due to be completed and opened in the latter part of 2014. http://www.roto-frank.com KEYFREE IS A HIT A year on from adding Yale’s Keyfree digital door lock to its portfolio, B&P Windows has reported positive feedback from homeowners who have seen the benefits of the instant upgrade security solution.
