Our products ...

A building façade insulates, illuminates, ventilates and draught-proofs. It can form an entire weather shield and be a stunning design feature. Few elements of a structure perform as many functions, or are as important to a building’s overall success.


At Parry Bowen we have been successfully designing, fabricating and installing all kinds of high quality façades for over 30 years. Our aim throughout has been to install structures effectively, efficiently and professionally.

 

We specialise in projects that are demanding in scale, in technical requirements, or in both. We have the skills and experience to value-engineer the client’s concept to create a design that works aesthetically and technically within the project budget.

 

Our façades are built around one or more of our core products, all manufactured in our own factories. Control of manufacturing allows us to exercise levels of quality control that are essential for the overall performance of the façade. We manufacture a wide range of core products that include:

 

·         unitised façades

·         stick curtain walling

·         windows and entrances

·         feature cladding

·         natural stone panelling

·         rainscreen

·         double skin façades

·         roof glazing

·         brise soleil

·         Planar structural glazing

 

However, every project is unique and most require specialised elements that need to interface effectively if the overall façade is to succeed. Parry Bowen’s expertise is to combine these with our core products to create truly integrated structures. We pride ourselves on the depth of our understanding of an extensive range of specialised products such as secondary steelwork, terracotta tiling, balconies and balustrading. The technical dimension alone is not sufficient; our skill is just as much in managing these specialist elements as part of the procurement and installation programme.
