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 nearly 30 years. Our aim throughout has been to install structures effectively, efficiently and professionally.

 

We specialise in projects that are demanding either in scale or technical requirements, or 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 Staffordshire factory. Control of manufacturing allows us to exercise high levels of quality control over the main elements of the façade. Our core products comprise:

 

·         unitised façades

·         stick curtain walling

·         windows and entrances

·         feature cladding

·         rainscreen

·         double skin façades

·         roof glazing

·         brise soleil

·         Planar structural glazing

 

However, each project is unique and most designs incorporate specialised components that also need to perform and interface effectively if the overall façade is to succeed. Parry Bowen’s expertise is in combining these elements with the core products to create integrated façades. We pride ourselves on the depth of our understanding of a huge range of specialised products such as secondary steelwork, terracotta tiling, balconies and balustrading. And we are just as much at home managing these special elements as part of the total façade package.
