The Brief

Group Metropolitan, working on behalf of Barclays, approached Grosvenor Contracts to deliver a bespoke curtain solution for a high-level office suite on Level 21 of Barclays’ headquarters. The objective was to supply and install acoustic curtains and tracks to support noise reduction and space division, while meeting specific aesthetic and functional preferences from the client.

A key design requirement was for the curtains to just kiss the floor—delivering a clean, tailored finish that balances form with function in a premium corporate environment.

Our Solution

Grosvenor Contracts supplied and installed:

• Heavy-duty curtain track systems, ensuring smooth operation and durability

• Acoustic-grade curtains, selected for optimal sound absorption and sleek visual impact

• A custom measured finish that aligned the curtain base precisely with the flooring, as per the client’s request

The works were completed on a tight schedule, with careful coordination to align with the project’s overall fit-out timeline.

The Result

The installation achieved:

• Enhanced acoustic control in an open-plan office space

• A visually polished, floor-skimming finish as specified by the client

• Increased comfort and functionality for end users in a high-traffic, high-rise corporate setting

Feedback from Group Metropolitan and Barclays was extremely positive, recognising Grosvenor Contracts' attention to detail and ability to deliver custom solutions efficiently and professionally.
