Central Park · in brief.
Quantum Facades completed the design, supply and installation of high-performance cladding and roofing systems for a prestigious development in the heart of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle. The cladding works featured a fully A2 fire-rated rainscreen system, incorporating Genius Flat Panels, 100mm Rockwool Duo Slab insulation and the Fastframe envelope bracket and rail system. These were installed across the main building elevations, private residential balconies and the prominent ground-floor soffit area. The roofing package included the Fatra FF810 mechanically fixed warm roof single-ply membrane on the main roof. Balcony areas were waterproofed using the FLS Shield cold-applied liquid system, providing seamless protection around intricate details. The completed building envelope reflects Quantum’s commitment to quality, compliance and architectural excellence in one of Liverpool’s most dynamic urban settings.
What the client asked us to solve.
- 01
Compliance with Fire Safety Regulations
Ensuring all external envelope components meet A2 fire rating standards in line with post-Grenfell legislation, and coordinating design and installation to satisfy Building Control and warranty provider requirements.
- 02
Complex Architectural Detailing
Integrating rainscreen cladding seamlessly across varied building geometries, including main elevations, private balconies and ground floor soffits, while achieving a consistent visual finish and accommodating structural tolerances and movement joints.
- 03
Waterproofing & Weatherproofing
Delivering robust waterproofing solutions for both the main roof and balcony areas, using a single-ply membrane for large roof spans and a cold-applied liquid system for intricate balcony detailing, while managing interface details between cladding and roofing to prevent water ingress.
- 04
Programme Coordination
Aligning façade and roofing works with tight construction schedules and multiple trades on-site, while minimising disruption in a densely populated city centre location with limited access and logistical constraints.
- 05
Design Integration & Supply Chain Management
Coordinating with architects, engineers and suppliers to ensure timely delivery of bespoke materials, compatibility between framing systems, insulation and cladding panels, and effective management of lead times and potential delays in a volatile materials market.
How Quantum Facades delivered the package.
Quantum Facades takes a strategic and collaborative approach to meet the challenges of the Baltic Triangle development. From the outset, the team engages closely with fire consultants and building control to ensure full compliance with A2-rated fire safety standards. This results in the selection of Genius Flat Panels and Rockwool Duo Slab insulation—both rigorously tested and certified for fire performance. To address the architectural complexity of the project, Quantum works hand-in-hand with designers and engineers, using advanced 3D modelling to coordinate the integration of the Fastframe bracket and rail system. This enables seamless installation across varied building geometries, including balconies and soffits, while maintaining a consistent visual finish. Waterproofing remains a critical focus. The main roof features the Fatra FF810 single-ply membrane, chosen for its durability and weather resistance. For the balconies, Quantum specifies the FLS Shield cold-applied liquid system, ideal for intricate detailing and long-term protection. Programme coordination is managed through dedicated site teams and just-in-time delivery scheduling, streamlining installation and minimising disruption in the busy city centre environment. To mitigate supply chain risks, Quantum secures early procurement of key materials and maintains regular communication with suppliers to ensure timely delivery and system compatibility.
