Tyne views
10th November 2015

Guests at Newcastle upon Tyne’s new Hampton by Hilton hotel can enjoy spectacular views across the city thanks to windows supplied by SENIOR ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS.

Installed by Visual Concept Ltd, Senior’s SPW 300 windows were specified for the new hotel, which has been created following the complete refurbishment and conversion of an existing 1970s office block. With all existing windows needing to be replaced, the SPW300 aluminium system offered the desired level of thermal performance and attractive slim sightlines.  The SPW300 windows also incorporate solar glass, which helps to minimise the absorption of heat and glare from the sun and acoustic glass because of the hotel’s city centre location, and also near a railway station.

Paul Price, director at Visual Concept Ltd said: “As a local company, we are proud to have been involved in the creation of the new Hampton by Hilton in Newcastle.  It was a challenging contract, with various technical and environmental targets that had to be met and we are extremely happy with how Senior’s products performed on this job.”

With all spandrel glazing specified in special pearl RAL 1035 and the complementary special gold RAL 1036 colour chosen for the window frames, the building’s new fenestration has been further enhanced by the use of Senior’s thermally efficient SCW+ curtain walling to the ground floor level.
