Saint Richard Reynolds Catholic College in Twickenham is using Encasement’s ‘Forma’ decorative metal column casings to conceal structural steelwork around a new courtyard walkway, as part of its recently opened £14 million teaching block.

Each 650mm x 990mm weatherproof column casing stands 3.74metres high and is manufactured from 1.5mm thick aluminium, which incorporates a Rimex ‘Black Pearl’ finish that combines a highly polished surface with a pattern of small circular indentations, making the casings both durable and aesthetic.
