Achieving code level 6 with System 10 Aluminium
7th February 2012

Offering the lowest U-value in the market, of just 0.7W/m2K, System10 Aluminium from Bowater Architectural is one of the only UK aluminium window systems to meet Level 6 requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes.

Combining unrivalled thermal performance with stylish, sleek aesthetics, System10 Aluminium presents a superior window and curtain walling system for specifiers and contractors alike, meeting the needs of a variety of applications - from housing and commercial projects, through to education and healthcare.

System10 Aluminium will provide a U-value of 1.4W/m2K when fitted with standard double glazed units and can actually achieve a U-value as low as 0.7W/m2K if required, all thanks to a unique multi – chamber thermal break. The durability and high-strength of the system means the product can be used for bespoke applications, as well as being used to create sizeable glazed areas and large opening sashes.

Richard Garland, Sales Director at Bowater Architectural comments: “System10 Aluminium is one of the most cost effective and energy efficient aluminium window and curtain walling systems on the market. The system offers an unrivalled combination of advanced thermal performance, smart aesthetics and on-site practicality – all backed up by a rigorous testing process that ensures complete customer confidence.

“New legislation is placing ever more stringent demands on specifiers and it is essential that they can be rest assured the products they choose will meet requirements.  We are committed to developing reliable solutions that are fit for our customers’ purposes and that suit their design requirements.”

With this in mind, the System10 Aluminium is the ultimate in customisable design. Depending upon the look and style of the building, the system can be powder coated, both internally and externally in any RAL colour, to complement its surroundings. Alternatively, the system is available in a high quality laminate finish, expertly providing an authentic timber look. Additionally, the system incorporates concealed gaskets for clean sightlines, as well as a hidden drainage structure to ensure its sleek design - perfect for specifiers wishing to achieve a smart, unfussy look.
