Vertikal will do the glazing for an elite village
17 May 2006
The Vertikal Company has begun production of window and balcony units for the block in the residential complex. An agreement was signed in the middle of March, and since then all sorts of variations and subtleties for glazing the complex have been developed.
The frames will be made of oak using German technology (folding and revolving flaps) with aluminium facing on the outside. The enterprise will also install and adjust the products. The total area of glazing plus wooden framework for this block is planned to be about 2000 sq. m.
In design, the windows are intended to provide panoramic views and should function as the characteristic feature of the complex. From these windows, there will be an amazing view of the Malaya Nyevka, a panorama of the Petrograd side, and a panoramic view of the green hills of Krestovsky Island. The windows run the whole height of the building and are 3 metres tall.
The company plans to complete the first stage of glazing by the end of June this year, and finish the whole block ready for use in September.
The Olympic Village consists of four elite apartment blocks of from four to nine storeys. It has been built on the concept of a town within a town on Krestovsky Island (Ul. Vyazovaya 10). The total area of the complex will amount to 120.000 sq. m.
The client, the builder and the general contractor for the project is OOO Yevrostroi; the investor is the Building-Investment Group, Times.
The project was designed by the Severny proekt (North Project) architectural building company, a subsidiary of OOO Yevrostroi.
Let us recall that ZAO Vertikal specializes in the production of elite wooden windows, and at the beginning of this year completed the glazing work on the VIP-class cottage village, Repinskaya usadba. The company is also working on another elite project, the Severny Versal (Northern Versailles — a palace and park ensemble in Lakhta).
ZAO Vertikal was detached from OAO Stroidetal in October 2002, the joinery work of which has a history of over sixty years. In 2004, the company Okna Deluxe (Deluxe Windows), specializing the production of metal-plastic frames, joined ZAO Vertikal. So today, the enterprise works in two main areas: the production of elite wooden and wood and aluminium windows, and metal and plastic windows and frames.
The company possesses highly productive equipment that provides a full technological production cycle for high-quality products for any type of modern building from window frames to doors and unique staircases.
