Colourful façade created on iconic Belfast Waterfront using Marlon Clickfix

Marlon Clickfix played a key role in the transformation of the iconic Belfast Waterfront with the semi-transparent and colourful façade.

Requirements

• High quality material
• Thermally efficient
• Light transmission
• Technical support
  

The highlight of the transformation of the Belfast Waterfront was created using seven varieties of tint of Marlon Clickfix. The façade now forms a dynamic frontage to the River Lagan.

A key design consideration for the new extension was to ensure materials used were of a high quality to create a building of high architectural quality. Marlon Clickfix played a vital role in achieving this aim, whilst allowing for the extension to establish its own identity.

For a glazing system which would not only maximise daylight but also offer exceptional air tightness, durability, diffused lighting and UV stability, Marlon Clickfix proved the most adaptable solution and ensured a fast and straightforward installation.

Another key consideration for this project was the colour of the glazing panels, with Brett Martin creating a palate of seven colour samples in a range of tint variations. These were installed at a high level on-site to allow the design team to decide on three completely new colours – petrol, viola and glass green - which were each extruded in two different intensities, creating a graduated flow of colour along the elevation.
