Three student projects
30th May 2017

The PURe range of aluminium windows from SENIOR ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS has been specified for use on several new projects in the student accommodation sector.

One of the largest of these is The Courtyard scheme at the University of Hull. Comprising five separate blocks based around two central courtyards, the development has been designed by GSS Architecture and offers a range of facilities in addition to high-specification student accommodation. The fenestration package, which was installed by Glass and Framing Solutions (GFS) also features Senior’s thermally efficient SF52 aluminium curtain walling.

Further additions to Senior’s contracts in this sector include two new student residences in Sheffield.

For the Sharman Court scheme on Sheffield’s Broad Lane, Continental Installations Ltd fabricated and installed Senior’s PURe aluminium windows for main contractor Watkins Jones and architects Kelsey Design Associates.

Also based in Sheffield, for The Printworks (pictured), designed by Axis Architecture. PURe windows and SCW curtain walling have been installed throughout the six-storey building by fabricators Danum Windows Ltd for developers Noble Design & Build.

The PURe aluminium system features a thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane foam (PUR) and has the potential to achieve U-values as low as 0.71W/m2 K when calculated as a commercial CEN standard window.
