The SF52 aluminium curtain wall system and SD automatic commercial sliding doors from Senior Architectural Systems played a key role in the £82 million redevelopment of Coventry’s rail station to create a welcoming entrance to the city.
Senior worked with supply chain partners Elite Aluminium Systems and Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd to deliver AHR Architects’ plan for the station.
Senior’s slim profile SF52 aluminium curtain wall system’s frames were powder coated to boost durability and also complement the station’s feature grey and red cladding, while the SPW501 aluminium commercial swing doors were also specified throughout.
The extensive use of glazing on the building also pays homage to the original station building which is located nearby but, owing to its Grade II status, could not be extended or developed to meet the increased demand on Coventry’s rail network.
