The company has been selected to design, manufacture and install nearly 9,000 square metres of high-quality façade at Salford's latest sustainable office development, Two New Bailey Square.
Staticus will install a combination of unitised timber and aluminium stick façades across a total area of 8,700 square meters. The panels will be manufactured in its Lithuania factory before being delivered to site.
Staticus' UK MD Paulius Gurksnys said: "An interesting aspect of this project is the external structural steel frame with its visible connections and splices left exposed and protruding from the façade. Whilst this is unique and looks extremely striking, it means that we will need to use special sealing and prefabrication techniques to build the cladding units and overlay the façade panels. It is an extremely complicated installation."

Another striking element of the development is its timber features on the ground and first floor. Staticus will install aluminium façade onto the timber profiles, milling connection joints into the profiles to create an aesthetic, natural view of the timber framing.
Paulius continued: "Two New Bailey Square is a fantastic project and winning it marks a fitting end to 2018. We have grown our presence in the UK exponentially this year, opening a new office in London and taking on lucrative contracts in the City, Manchester and Liverpool. This positions Staticus strategically for further expansion in the first quarter of 2019, so we are looking forward to what we anticipate will be a very successful year."
The Two New Bailey Square development forms part of the masterplan for Salford Central that will deliver 9,500 new jobs and 180,000 square metres of commercial space.
