Improving Urban Living Case Study

Information of the Project

Located in the heart of Stockwell Park, the Aytoun Road residential development is a modern response to the growing need for high-quality urban housing. This project was carried out in collaboration with Network Homes and Stack London, with aluminium coping systems supplied by Online Metal Store Ltd. The development aimed to create living spaces that not only delivered on function and safety but also introduced architectural character and long-term value to the surrounding environment.

Selecting Systems

To meet the aesthetic and structural goals of the project, a 2mm aluminium sloped coping system was chosen. This system offered the ideal balance of strength, durability, and clean design. Finished in a refined Olive Grey polyester powder coating, the coping system was selected to blend naturally with the nearby buildings while giving the new development a distinctive visual identity. The materials were chosen not only for their performance but also for their ability to withstand environmental exposure and maintain their finish with minimal maintenance over time.

Compliant Fire Safety

As with all projects involving residential housing, fire safety remained a top priority. The aluminium sloped coping system achieved an A2-s1,d0 fire rating, confirming its non-combustible nature and minimal smoke emissions in the event of fire. This rating ensures that the system complies with current building regulations and supports a safe environment for residents, without compromising on design quality or material choice.

Result and Advantages

Despite the challenges of integrating the coping system within an existing urban setting, the project was delivered successfully and with precision. Careful planning and detailed site coordination allowed the system to be installed efficiently while preserving the integrity of both the structure and its design. The Olive Grey finish added a modern yet understated touch to the building’s exterior, while the coping itself provided strong edge protection and long-term durability. The result is a building that combines functionality, safety, and design in a way that raises the standard for future developments.

Conclusion

The Aytoun Road project demonstrates what is possible when forward-thinking design is matched with expert execution. Online Metal Store Ltd is proud to have played a role in transforming this residential site into a safe, sustainable, and architecturally distinctive living space. This case study highlights the power of collaborative work, precise specification, and high-quality materials in shaping the future of urban housing.
