Continuing its long-standing relationship with John Sisk, RCM was appointed to supply the rainscreen cladding, as well as the aluminium frame and fittings to the construction of the new Holiday Inn Express in the centre of Birmingham.

KKA Architecture’s vision of a ‘pixelated’ building became a reality when RCM supplied its Vitrabond panels. Fixing these to the railing system has given the hotel its pixelated appearance. Vitrabond is a lightweight aluminium composite cladding panel, ideal for external façades, fascia, rainscreen cladding and sun blades. Its benefits include cost-effectiveness, low-maintenance, robust durability, its lightweight nature and its availability of an unlimited colour range.

Forming part of a £400m Birmingham City Centre scheme, the new 17 storey, 250-bedroom hotel will form part of the 2.3 million foot squared central mixed use development.

Ian Quinton, managing director of RCM, commented: “Once again RCM has been able to join forces with John Sisk & Son in achieving a major construction project. We are proud to supply our quality Vitrabond panels, aluminium frame and fittings to the project. New inner city developments are always an exciting venture, showcasing the best in building and construction the UK has to offer.”

The hotel is due for completion in April 2017 and RCM says it is proud to be playing a part in its successful construction.
