Westwood Cross Introduction
Westwood Cross Shopping Centre, a bustling retail hub in Kent, sought to revitalise its facade and enhance its visual appeal. The project aimed to create a modern, welcoming exterior that would complement the centre’s vibrant atmosphere and diverse range of offerings.
Kelson Facades was appointed to undertake this extensive refurbishment, working closely with the architectural design provided by Orium. Our team’s expertise in facade systems and meticulous project management ensured a seamless execution, delivering a transformed exterior that met both aesthetic and functional requirements.
The Westwood Cross Shopping Centre's facade has undergone a much needed restoration. The updated exterior features a contemporary blend of sleek, James Hardie panels giving a gradient style look that is contrasted with dark window framing.
