CORK OPERA HOUSE

Architect: Murray O'Laoire
Quantity Surveyor: Healy Kelly Partnership
Main Contractor: John Sisk & Son Ltd.

 

We are very pleased with the manner in which our glass structure transformed this building. On this project we used the Schüco SK60V Curtain Walling system with 200mm. deep elliptical mullions. The construction of the Screen presents a horizontal emphasis with shaped cappings to the transoms and vertical glass-to-glass joints. The glass specification is 6mm. clear toughened outer pane with a 25mm. fritt to both vertical sides on Face Two, a 12mm. air space and 6mm. sun cool HP 63/45 inner pane with reflective coating on Face Three. The nominal size of the pane is 2126 x 1224mm.
