Greenheys Biosciences

Rooflights & Atriums were appointed to deliver specialist roof glazing works at Greenheys Biosciences, a purpose-built life sciences development in Manchester.

Working as part of a major commercial construction project delivered by Willmott Dixon, our scope involved the design, supply and installation of a bespoke glazed rooflight utilising the Lonsdale TG50 glazing system.

The installation was designed to introduce natural daylight into the building while complementing the contemporary architectural design of this important development.

The Challenge

Delivering specialist roof glazing within a large commercial development required careful coordination with the wider construction programme, structural interfaces and surrounding building elements.

The rooflight needed to integrate seamlessly with the building's architectural design while meeting the technical and performance requirements associated with a modern commercial facility.

Particular consideration was given to structural support, glazing specifications, weatherproofing details and installation sequencing to ensure successful integration with the wider construction works.

Our Solution

Rooflights & Atriums utilised the Lonsdale TG50 rooflight system, a versatile aluminium glazing solution suitable for bespoke architectural roof glazing applications.

The system provided the flexibility required to accommodate the rooflight geometry while delivering a robust, durable and visually refined installation.

Our specialist team coordinated the design, procurement and installation of the roof glazing, paying particular attention to glazing bar arrangements, perimeter interfaces and integration with the surrounding roof construction.

The Result

The completed Lonsdale TG50 rooflight provides an attractive architectural feature, introducing natural daylight into the building and contributing to the contemporary appearance of the development.

The installation combines clean glazing lines with a durable aluminium framing system, providing a practical, low-maintenance roof glazing solution.

Working within a major commercial construction environment, Rooflights & Atriums brought specialist roof glazing expertise and practical installation knowledge to the successful delivery of this important life sciences development.

The project demonstrates our capabilities in commercial rooflight design, bespoke architectural glazing and specialist roof glazing installation, supporting main contractors, architects and developers on technically demanding construction projects throughout the UK.
