Scope

Truly a reimagining of the industrial unit. Overlooking the south channel of the Hunter River is the latest Cubby Hole industrial micro unit development.

Located in the Steel River industrial precinct, these units provide a wider use case by offering services not generally associated with industrial units.

To make these spaces usable and inviting for businesses and individuals meant windows! And lots of them.

All units overlooking the river boasted floor to ceiling glazing measuring a massive 3m wide and 5.8m high.

Across the development, Hunter Windows designed, manufactured and installed our largest industrial windows project to date, with 131 louvre windows, as well as 27 hinged, and 22 bi-fold glass doors.

The Specifics

AWS 411 Series Bi-fold doors
AWS 50 Series Hinged doors
Louvres: Australian Pacific Louvre System galleries inlaid in AWS 400 Series framing
Glazing included Grey tinting throughout

The end result was quite stunning, and once again we are proud to have teamed up with other Hunter businesses (Hunter Precast, Hunter Structural Steel) and GWH on this project.
