Case Studies

The Grade II* listed building was built in the early1900s and makes up one-third of the “Three

Graces” based at Liverpool’s Pier Head, a World

Heritage site.

It was damaged during the Blitz in 1941 and is

currently undergoing major internal and external

restoration work by the owner, Liverpool’s biggest

commercial landlord company, Downing.

The building is home to some of the mostprestigious companies in Merseyside, including

Rathbones Investment Bank, and is the largest

project ever undertaken by Ventrolla Lancashire.

The windows have been upgraded using the

Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System (VPSS),

which has been tested to 600 Pa, the equivalent

to winds of 71 mph, and achieved Class 3

of BS 6375-1.

Ventrolla Lancashire was awarded the contract to renovate the

630 windows of the Port of Liverpool building, as part of a year

long project to restore the property to its original glory.
