 | | VENTROLLA GRACES LIVERPOOL DOCKLANDS | | | Ventrolla | | 07/08/2008 | | | Ventrolla Lancashire is renovating the 630 windows of the Port of Liverpool Building as part of a year long project to restore the historic property to its original glory.
The Grade II* listed building was built in the early 1900’s and makes up one third of the ‘Three Graces’ based at Liverpool’s Pier Head, a World Heritage Site. It was damaged during the Blitz in 1941 and is currently undergoing major internal and external restoration work by owner Downing.
The building is home to some of the most prestigious companies in Merseyside, including Rathbones investment bank, and is the largest project ever undertaken by Ventrolla Lancashire.
The windows have been upgraded using the Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System (VPSS), which has been tested to 600 Pa, the equivalent to winds of 71 mph, and achieves Class 3 of BS 6375-1.
Richard Ellis, managing director of Ventrolla Lancashire, said: “At Ventrolla we are committed to renovating historic buildings in a way that allows them to retain their character and be energy efficient.
“The Port of Liverpool Building is a striking landmark on the Liverpool riverside and we are delighted to play our part in its regeneration.”
Ian Orton, a director of Downing, said: “Ventrolla’s work is part of a £10 million restoration programme that Downing is undertaking to restore the Port of Liverpool Building to its former glory and enhance its appeal as a contemporary office space. The building is the jewel in the crown of Liverpool’s World Heritage waterfront and we are committed to safeguarding its history while looking to its future.”
With its national headquarters in Harrogate, Yorkshire, Ventrolla was established in 1986 and operates via a national network of regional offices. | |
