Aluminium windows and doors from Senior Architectural Systems have helped gain a BREEAM rating for Arts University, Bournemouth.
Senior’s patented PURe aluminium windows and PURe Slide aluminium doors have been installed alongside the SF52 aluminium curtain wall system.
Working alongside supply chain partners Morgan Sindall, Design Engine Architects and fabricators Soundcraft, the project also features Senior’s thermally-broken SPW500 aluminium commercial doors and SPW600 aluminium windows.
For additional safety and security, Senior’s barrier load tested Louvre Guard System has been fitted to all bedroom and kitchen windows.
The patented PURe aluminium system, with a thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane foam (PUR) has the potential to achieve U-values as low as 0.71w/m2k when calculated as a commercial CEN standard window, and 0.93W/m2 K when calculated as a CEN standard door. Fully recyclable, the PUR thermal barrier can also be re-used as fillers for other products, with no requirement for landfill.
