Sotechs New Baguette System is a Recipe for Success
Sotech has proved to be just the ticket for a recent car park development in Scotland after the leading manufacturer created a bespoke extruded aluminium baguette system that would successfully replicate the appearance of traditional terracotta.
Clad in terracotta tiles, the new multi-storey car park at Almondvale Shopping Centre boasts baguette screens between each floor to provide natural ventilation and daylight. To help reduce cost, installation time and the structural load of the building, Sotech worked closely with contractors Lakesmere to create the Optima Baguette Sunscreen system which, constructed from lightweight aluminium, boasts with a unique five-component PPC finish that gives the look and feel of terracotta.
As well as being the more cost-effective, Sotech’s Optima Baguette Sunscreen is also fully-recyclable and can, with a module measuring 2.7m by 1.8m weighing just 40kg, be factory-assembled for faster fitting on site.
The highly flexible baguette system is available in three textured paint finishes, from dark and light shades of traditional terracotta to anthracite grey and can be assembled to meet most specific design requirements. More conventional finishes are also available.
