Expanded range of colour options for Yorkon modular buildings
Offering provides even greater design flexibility
The Portakabin Group has expanded the range of colours and design possibilities now available for buildings constructed using its Yorkon offsite solutions, giving architects, contractors and customers even greater aesthetic flexibility.
The latest building system available for Yorkon projects has been engineered to remove the need for external columns, creating seamless, flush façades. The palette of colours for the steel envelope has also been expanded from 20 to 55, giving architects and designers genuine creative freedom without having to specify secondary cladding.
The modular buildings can be finished in a wider range of colours to complement or contrast with adjacent schemes – or multiple shades and colours can be specified for a single façade to create a lively, vibrant and impactful exterior.
Other external finish options include render, brickwork, timber or rainscreen cladding, which can either be installed off site at the Portakabin production centre in York or on site, according to programme and individual project requirements.
Yorkon offsite solutions now offer literally thousands of design configurations and permutations, manufactured to suit almost any site or building footprint. There is also the widest choice of glazing – from full-height curtain walling to ribbon windows – and roofing options to create bespoke, landmark buildings and outstanding, award-winning architecture.
This unprecedented design flexibility is combined with the unrivalled efficiency of offsite construction that means reduced programme times, greater certainty of delivery on time and on budget, precision engineering in factory conditions for improved quality, less disruption during the build process, and stronger sustainability credentials.
The many applications of Yorkon off-site solutions include hospital buildings, treatment centres and health clinics and highly-complex laboratories.
