Metal & Glass: Proud Suppliers to the Coventry Charterhouse Refurbishment Project



In the heart of Coventry, where history and modernity converge, stands the Charterhouse—a place steeped in centuries of stories. This historic gem recently underwent a remarkable refurbishment, and Metal & Glass is delighted to have played a significant role in this preservation endeavor. In this blog post, we celebrate our partnership with the Coventry Charterhouse Refurbishment Project and highlight how our architectural solutions contributed to its success.

The Coventry Charterhouse: A Heritage Reimagined

The Coventry Charterhouse, founded in 1385, has witnessed the passage of time, surviving wars, changes, and progress. Its magnificent architecture, characterized by Gothic elements, has always been a testament to the city's rich history.

However, like all historical structures, the Charterhouse required restoration to ensure its enduring presence. The refurbishment project aimed not only to conserve its heritage but also to transform it into a vibrant centre for culture, community, and education.

Metal & Glass delivered bespoke glazing solutions that seamlessly integrated with the building's historic architecture. These solutions allowed natural light to flood the interior spaces, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.

The restoration of the Coventry Charterhouse was a testament to collaborative effort, historical reverence, and innovation:
