J&C Architectural Ltd are proud to announce that we’ve officially completed our submission with the UK Patent Office for our Design of  a Modular Wall Assembly — Our Design is now protected by Patent Pending while it is reviewed by the IPO Offices and officially granted a Patent.

This is a ground breaking system that enables:

✅ Class A1/A2-s1,d0 compliant Linit U-profiled glass façades with;

✅ Seamless integration into modular construction

✅ Compliant with all current UK Regulations for High Risk Buildings including the upcoming 2026 updates

Our Linit U-Channel glass system is a structural system designed for use as both interior and exterior walls. U-profiled glass is widely used in modular wall assemblies and provides strong structural rigidity and a classic sleek look to the finished building. Our new Design System is Class A1 / A2-s1, d0 compliant, meaning it meets the stringent UK regulations for non-combustible materials in high-rise and public buildings—an increasingly critical benchmark in today’s construction landscape.

Why this matters:

  • Compliance without compromising on design or sustainability
  • Our integral Solar Panels enable energy-generating façades that support net-zero goals with no aesthetic impact

This innovation sets a new benchmark for safe, sustainable, and scalable building envelope systems.

Whether you’re an architect, developer, or contractor, this patented solution can open new possibilities for both private and public sector projects.
