Façade earns praise in RIBA award winner
14th July 2015

METAL TECHNOLOGY System 10 commercial doors, System 5-20D Hi+ thermally broken doors and System 17 capped high rise curtain walling were used to create the external façade of Manchester Metropolitan University’s Student Union building, said the outstanding point which led to a 2015 RIBA Award.

System 17 Curtain Walling not only provides structural integrity with high levels of thermal and weather performance but offers limitless flexibility in specification. With a wide range of structural mullions, transoms and feature caps or the option of silicone pointing, System 17 can meet the visual and performance requirements for any building, from the smallest screen to expansive glazing applications.

The System 5-20D Hi+ High Performance Thermally Enhanced Door is part of Metal technology’s Thermal suite of systems that also provide high levels of structural integrity, weather performance, and security. This suite of systems utilizes bespoke thermal gaskets, cellular foams and polyamide thermal isolators, all of which help achieve impressively low U values.
