Cheesegrater louvres go to China and back

03 December, 2012

Acoustic louvres made by Naco will form part of the prefabricated mechanical-extract system for the 48-storey building at 122 Leadenhall Street in London. This 225 m-high building is nicknamed the Cheesegrater, due to its unusual shape, and will become the global headquarters of international insurance company Aon, which is moving from Chicago to London to occupy 10 floors of the building.

Naco is shipping the louvres from its factory at Bridgnorth to Yuanda in China, which will incorporate them into the ventilation system, which will also form part of the architectural facade designed by structural engineer Arup. The building is due for completion in 2014.
