The Pinnacle, Willenhall

Constructed in 1967 using a large panel system, this 15-storey residential tower block was fully occupied from the time of its construction until the late 1980s. However, due to lack of investment and maintenance, the building began to decline in the early 1990s. Declining occupancy and lack of demand made the building no longer economically viable to run and maintain. Consequently, in 1997, the Council closed the building. In 2003, Walsall Council and d+b facades reached an agreement to regenrate the tower block, saving it from planned demolition.

The project’s refurbishment is dedicated to creating sustainable homes that excel in economic, social, and environmental aspects. NorDan’s StormGuard windows are an ideal fit for this vision, offering low U-values, a 60-year lifespan, and stylish aesthetics. With low maintenance, decreased fuel costs, and minimal carbon emissions, the building exceeds expected standards.
