The ceramic granite package ## Two ceramic granites, one panel system, individually numbered for the sequence. The team behind Dmitro Development fixed Shackerley SureClad ceramic-granite rainscreen panels to Charleston House: light-cream Lopar ceramic granite, with a darker beige grain, across most elevations from ground level to level three, and contrasting grey Wolseley ceramic granite on the recessed levels above. Panels were mechanically fixed, secret-fix, mostly at a standard 1198 × 598 mm size to increase repetition and control cost, with bespoke bands, columns, reveals, soffits and deep returns built around the recessed balconies. Each panel was individually numbered to the installation sequence. Shackerley's Access carrier system meant panels did not have to go up strictly in order: when another trade held up one wall area, the Dmitro Development team could carry on installing elsewhere on the elevation and return to finish the delayed area later, as Shackerley's own case study on the project records. - Lopar ceramic granite: Light cream, ground to level three - Wolseley ceramic granite: Grey, levels three and four - Panel size: 1198 × 598 mm, standard ## 05 · A 1938 Art Deco department store, listed Grade II in 2008. Randall's original department store on Vine Street, designed by local architect William Lionel Eves and completed in 1938-39, traded until it closed on 31 January 2015. ![An illustrative view of Randall's original Art Deco department store frontage on Vine Street, showing its 1938 stepped clock tower and shopfront](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/randalls-uxbridge/randalls-uxbridge-illustrative-randall-original-art-deco-department-fallback.jpg) An illustrative view of the original Randall's department store on Vine Street, Uxbridge, showing the Art Deco stepped clock tower and ground-floor shopfront that earned the building its Grade II listing in 2008. Designed by local architect William Lionel Eves and completed in 1938-39, the store traded until it closed on 31 January 2015; its cream faience frontage was retained and repaired in the redevelopment as Gatsby House. Planning and heritage ## Ceramic granite was value-engineered out elsewhere on the scheme. Charleston House kept it. Charleston House stands beside Randall's original, Grade II listed 1930s facade and sits within the Old Uxbridge and Windsor Street Conservation Area, so planning officers required detailed sign-off on panel coursing, corners, pilasters, window and door reveals, copings, weathering and joint appearance before the cladding went ahead. Ceramic granite was later dropped from two of the scheme's other new-build blocks on cost grounds. Charleston House kept its Shackerley SureClad panels, rationalised by Shackerley and the architect to a repeatable size while retaining the stepped upper levels, recessed balconies, facade bands and deep returns the design called for. ## 06 · Charleston House under wrap, ceramic-granite panels already fixed to the completed upper floors. ![The Randall's Uxbridge site mid-construction, hoarding and scaffold-netting at street level with ceramic granite panels fixed above](https://dmitrodevelopment.co.uk/assets/projects/randalls-uxbridge/randalls-uxbridge-randalls-progress-fallback.jpg) The Randall's Uxbridge site part-way through construction: Inland Homes' hoarding wraps the ground floor and scaffold-netting covers part of the elevation, while ceramic-granite panels are already fixed to the completed upper floors of the new residential block. ## Charleston House, clad by the team.
