Blackhorse Mills, Walthamstow. Terracotta feature facade

OVERVIEW

Blackhorse Mills occupies the land of the former Ferry Lane industrial site next to Walthamstow’s High Maynard Reservoir. Architects consulted Powdertech early in the project to discuss the look and feel they had in mind for the buildings and ensure that the design of the extruded aluminium cladding panels together with the right powder coating finish would achieve the desired effect. A series of development samples were produced to combine the warm terracotta shade and sheen thus creating a unique finish. The finish carries a 25 year guarantee for gloss, colour and adhesion and is Qualicoat class 1 approved.
