Cotton Field Wharf, Manchester
6th March 2018

SENIOR ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS, working with John Sisk & Son and contractor Elite Aluminium Systems, has delivered its largest order to date for its PURe aluminium windows, at the new Cotton Field Wharf residential development in Manchester.

The scheme is the first to be completed as part Manchester Life’s plans to create more than 1,000 new private rental homes across the city’s Ancoats area.

The 302 new apartments at Cotton Field Wharf use PURe casement windows and Senior’s PURe Fold aluminium doors, which open up to private terraces. On the lower levels, Senior’s aluminium curtain walling system has been used to frame the communal areas, which include a gym and club room. Its SPW501 commercial aluminium doors complete the development’s glazing package.

Mark Longmore, general manager at Elite Aluminium Systems Ltd said: “We have worked with Senior Architectural Systems for over twenty years now and so it was an obvious choice for us to look to their extensive product range for a cost-effective solution for the Cotton Field Wharf contract.

“We are really proud of the results and to have secured additional contracts with Manchester Life as part of the ongoing regeneration of what was once the centre of Manchester’s industrial revolution.”

Simon Scholefield, Senior Architectural System’s architectural advisor for the North West region added: “We are also delighted to be continuing our relationship with Elite, John Sisk and Manchester Life following our appointment to supply to the fenestration package for the new Smith’s Yard scheme that forms part of the same development.”

The PURe system has an enhanced thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane foam, giving it the potential to achieve U-values as low as 0.71W/m2 K when calculated as a commercial CEN standard window and 0.93W/m2 K when calculated as a CEN standard door.
