In a recent
partnership aimed at boosting both security and visual appeal, Jacksons Fencing was tasked with providing a bespoke fencing solution for a new
housing development in Gilbourne Road, Greenwich.
This
development, which features 15 net-zero council homes, was designed with
sustainability and energy efficiency at its core, using eco-friendly materials
and advanced energy-saving technologies.
Located in
London, where environmental standards are continuously evolving, the project
posed a unique challenge.
The developer
required a solution that would harmonise with the modern, minimalist design of
the homes while fulfilling the practical need for perimeter security. With this
in mind, Jacksons Fencing applied its expertise to design and install high
quality metal railings that met the project’s rigorous standards for both
functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The challenge
for this project was clear: protect residents and maintain environmental
integrity without compromising the design principles of the net-zero homes. The
solution? Jacksons Fencing Sentry Residential metal railings and Barbican
Imperial® vertical bar railings were installed to deliver a functional,
aesthetically pleasing fencing solution that met all the project’s diverse
needs.
These metal
railing systems are designed to seamlessly blend with the surroundings, enhance
the visual appeal of the properties, and provide long-lasting security.
Jacksons
Fencing’s team worked closely with the developers to understand the specific
requirements of the site and the needs of the residents.
The result was a
sophisticated, low maintenance metal railing system that incorporated durable
materials while aligning with the sustainability goals of the development.
The net-zero
homes in the development are constructed to the highest standards of energy
efficiency, featuring solar panels, triple glazing, air source heat pumps, and
sustainable building materials. Designed to offer low running costs and minimal
maintenance, every aspect of the project was carefully planned to uphold
sustainability.
The metal
railings installed by Jacksons Fencing were not only designed to meet these
eco-friendly standards but also seamlessly integrated with the homes' green
credentials.
The metal
railings define property boundaries while supporting urban greening efforts.
Their low height and open design allow foliage to grow naturally, enhancing
green spaces. With a galvanised steel construction and corrosion-resistant
powder coating, the railings offer durability and excellent rust protection.
This
long-lasting solution, backed by a 25 year guarantee, meets the sustainability
goals of the development while complementing the net-zero homes' modern
aesthetic.
Peter Jackson,
Managing Director at Jacksons Fencing, expressed, “At Jacksons Fencing, we
understand that developments like these net-zero homes require security
solutions that not only offer protection but also complement the modern,
sustainable design.
Our metal
railings provide durability, security, and an aesthetic that enhances the
homes’ environmental credentials. We’re proud to have contributed to this
project, supporting the development’s commitment to both sustainability and
safety with a long-lasting, high quality fencing solution.”
