As specialists in aluminium engineering, Crucial were commissioned by the principle contractor for a KFC in 2022 to provide the supply and installation of a full aluminium package for their new restaurant.

Understanding the many benefits of using aluminium for a shop fit out, KFC appointed Crucial to undertake the project. With many years of expertise and a host of big named brands already under their belt, Crucial were a reliable and well-respected choice.

KFC electing aluminium for a variety of applications within the project was a calculated decision. With a stringent budget, there is much to be achieved with the use of aluminium. As a super strength, yet lightweight material, it is frequently chosen by property planners to form many parts of building projects. Compared with other materials, aluminium is hard wearing and durable, excellently withstanding weathering and high traffic usage.

The brief required Crucial’s dedicated team to install attractive aluminium doors to the ground floor and glazed screens to the restaurant. These not only needed to provide a welcoming feel to the outlet but also be hardwearing to ensure superior longevity in what was to be a high influx area of the build. Floor to ceiling glazed aluminium windows and doors allowed a huge amount of light to enter the building, creating a fresh, clean feeling environment.

In addition, Crucial installed multiple aluminium windows across the 1st and 2nd floor of the restaurant along with full height aluminium curtain walling, spanning both floors. Furthermore, aluminium was an ideal choice for a low maintenance building material here. Virtually impervious to changes in temperature and high levels of moisture, it doesn’t incur a costly preservation schedule or require specialist cleaning.

The final touch to the restaurant, was the drive-thru area. Crucial’s installation of aluminium sliding windows provided a solid, secure and sleek appearance to the building.
Having already completed successful projects for many leading brands, Crucial had a solid grasp of working with prominent business’ like KFC. Being a high profile, household name, it was imperative for the Crucial Team to ensure brand integrity with the colour match and design of the aluminium work provided.

The outcome of the project was a major success. The excellent aluminium work supplied was delivered within highly structured timelines and within budget. The client, KFC, are very pleased with the work carried out, the craftsmanship and the management of the project work.

Crucial are proud to say they are now in negotiation with the principal contractor and KFC about further projects, which highlights a great team effort from everyone involved.
