Column casings, from the Pendock Radius range have been installed at the Extreme Photonic Application Centre, or EPAC, in Didcot, Oxfordshire, to conceal interior structural supports for the building’s 11-metre-high glazed facade.
Three of the six column casings span the full height of the main entrance and reception while the others are 8 metres high and are located adjacent to the main foyer in an area that provides access to EPAC’s laboratories and offices.
Each 350mm diameter casing is bespoke manufactured from pre-formed MDF and incorporates a durable high pressure laminate surface finish. This not only resists scuffing and damage but also simplifies maintenance.
As the standard height for the MDF-CL column casings is 3 metres they’re stacked to reach the extended heights required at EPAC which also provides an integrated finish to the interior of the facility.
