Nico
friction hinges have been installed at the new dock development, Neptune
Quay, at Ipswich.
The Security Plus hinges – which offer additional security protection
– were specified by Quantum Windows of Corby, who supplied high specification
aluminium casement windows for the 56 Neptune Apartments.
Quantum
Windows, the UK supplier of trade windows, has standardised on Nico Friction
Hinges for its uPVC and internally-glazed aluminium casement windows.
Colin Lee, Quantum Sales & Marketing Manager explains the company’s
choice.
‘ At Quantum, we have a reputation for manufacturing high quality
products. We selected Nico hinges thanks to their superior quality and
reliability – giving us and our customer total peace of mind.’
He adds, ‘The excellent support provided by our Nico sales engineer
and the rest of the Nico team completes a great package.’
Nico Security Plus Friction Hinge
The Nico Security Plus Standard Friction Hinge with 17mm stack height
was installed at Neptune Quay.
Thanks to its patented design – with hook and free-moving nose cap
– the Hinge gets stronger should forced entry be attempted. When
pressure is applied to the hinge, compressive forces are actually converted
into tensile forces, increasing the strength of the locked sash bar.
The Security Plus Friction Hinge is available in a range of sizes, from
250mm to 600mm for top hung windows, 300mm and 400mm for side hung windows,
in a choice of 13mm or 17mm stack heights, suitable for PVCu, aluminium
or timber profiles.
Part of the Nico Security Plus Range
The Security Plus Friction Hinge is part of Nico’s Security Plus
range, which includes Restrictor and Egress Friction Hinges, Shootbolt,
X-tra Bolt and Restrictor Safety Catch.
All products are approved to BBA and relevant British Standards, as well
as accredited by the Secured by Design scheme.

Surrey-based
Angel Plastics has just completed a contract to renew the ceiling of a
private indoor swimming pool situated in Epsom.
The ageing decorated fibreboard ceiling was replaced using Deeplas by
Deceuninck’s Décor ceiling
panels and took a two-man fitting team just one week to complete. This
was some achievement as the 13m x 8m pool could not be drained and a temporary
structure had to be erected to undertake the installation process.
The Décor range was selected due to its maintenance free properties,
wide choice of colour and finishes and moisture resistance making it suitable
for high humidity environments. The Décor panels operate a tongue
and groove principle ensuring quick and efficient installation with less
disruption than conventional ceiling products.
Director of Angel Plastics, Stephen Cobb commented, ‘The customer
wanted a maintenance free ceiling that was impervious to moisture and
Décor was the natural choice. We have worked with the product for
many years and continually offer the range to our customers due to the
wide collection of colours and the superior finish this product delivers.’
The new Décor ceiling was completed with a variety of skylights
to the delight of a very happy customer.

Metal
Technology Arrives at Clarence Dock, Leeds
Apartments
at one of the North of England’s most prestigious addresses have
spectacular waterside and cityscape views thanks to Metal
Technology’s curtain wall and window systems.
Developed by the Crosby Group plc, Magellan House is a curved landmark
building in Leeds’ waterfront area, Clarence Dock. The £15m
self-contained residential, leisure and commercial development, just a
stone’s throw from the city centre, was designed by Carey Jones Architects
with Shepherd Construction as main contractor. Fabrication and installation
of Metal Technology systems for the project was carried out by Anaco Systems.
The 11 storey building, which contains luxurious apartments and penthouses,
uses Metal Technology’s high performance System 3 polyamide tilt
and turn windows and System 19 casement.
Metal Technology’s System 17 curtain wall has been used to provide
a light and spacious feeling to the stairwell enclosure which is dramatically
lit at night.

Refurbishment
Success for Securistyle at Twin Valley Homes
In
a major new refurbishment project, Securistyle
window hardware has been specified on 8,500 thousand properties owned
by Twin Valley Homes, as part of a five year up-grade scheme.
The properties are being fitted with the Vector Excluder Package that
includes Defender Restrictor or Egress hinges, to safeguard residents
from accidents and fire, as well as the Vector Excluder locking mechanism
and Vision handle for added window security.
The decision to refurbish the homes was brought about by a promise to
tenants by Twin Valley Homes to improve the windows, doors and kitchens
within five to six years of taking over the stock from Blackburn and Darwen
Borough Council. The contract was undertaken in partnership with contractors
Herbert T Forrest and Durose and Gourlay and Wates Construction ltd.
Phil Richards, CEO of Twin Valley Homes said: ‘The tenants’
welfare has been put at the heart of the operation. We needed a supplier
who would provide secure, easy to use and adjustable hardware. That is
why we chose Securistyle.’
Vivienne Taylor, Northern Specifications Sales Manager at Securistyle
commented: ‘It is good to see social housing providers working hard
to meet the needs of their tenants. We are always keen to offer support
and advice to specifiers and regularly visit organisations to demonstrate
our products.’
Securistyle offers a free CPD-certified seminar covering all aspects of
safety, security, emergency egress, corrosion resistance and ‘Best
Value’ in relation to window hardware specification. Further details
are available from Securistyle on 01242 221200.
Windows with A Twist for Yorkshire Inn
A
unique style of window has been installed in The Huntsman Inn, Holmfirth,
West Yorkshire. The Sheerframe System
6000 casements are white on the outside and light oak on the inside, the
reverse of what is usually requested, and a first for Sheerframe fabricators,
South Yorkshire Home Improvements, which made the installation.
A collection of two-storey buildings built around 1800, The Huntsman Inn
features a mixture of fixed and opening windows, including several large
arched top windows, small round windows on the upper level, casements
with Georgian beading - separating areas internally - and small square
feature windows, as well as several Sheerframe doors.
Tony Cartwright, owner of The Huntsman Inn, commented, ‘Even though
the building has been completely refurbished, we have still kept many
of the original features, and so were keen to maintain the traditional
charm with timber effect windows. However we were not so keen to have
woodgrain on the outside of the building. We approached several companies
in the area but South Yorkshire Home Improvements was the only company
that could do what we wanted, and we are really pleased with the way they
have turned out.’
Director of South Yorkshire Home Improvements, John Hutchins, said, ‘We
have made plenty of installations where the woodgrain has been on the
outside, but this is the first reversed request we had ever received.
The principles involved in manufacture were essentially the same, so we
saw no reason why it couldn’t be done. We are really pleased with
the overall effect. The inn looks clean and modern from the outside and
rustic on the inside, with the windows matching perfectly with the wooden
beams, floors and furniture.’
Weathertightness and long life were also very important factors in the
specification, as the inn is located in a very exposed location. All Sheerframe
windows are tested to BS 6375: Part 1 for weathertightness and are available
with the revolutionary Thermlock reinforcing to meet Part L, or Part J
in Scotland, without the need to resort to Exotic Glass.

ThermoCool™
Aligned with Atlantic Quay Requirements
More
than 2000 square metres of ThermoCool™ insulating glass units have
been supplied by HansenGlass for the
completion of an imposing new office development close to the River Clyde
in Glasgow.
Number
Six Atlantic Quay has been constructed by Balfour Beatty Construction
with Charles Henshaw & Sons Limited from Edinburgh being the curtain
walling and cladding specialist responsible for the structure’s articulate
enclosure.
The high performance insulating glass units manufactured by HansenGlass
were installed within the bespoke curtain walling systems. They were also
used in both vertical and sloping applications on the building’s
imposing 9 by 15 metre atrium roof.
A key feature to the creation of the seven storey, fully and partially
glazed elevations to No 6 Atlantic Quay was the production by HansenGlass
of units presenting enamelled as well as screen-printed finishes, for
decoration and concealment.
The sales director for Charles Henshaw, Mr Jim Walker, comments: ‘We
required a non-standard lozenge shape frit across the bottom half of the
full height glazing to offer privacy when viewed from outside. HansenGlass
was able to produce these using its Ceraphic™ screen-printing process.
‘Then across the depth of the slab level, Ceramalite™ spandrel
units were used to conceal the structure. Some of these units have 75
mm of foil backed insulation to achieve the required U-value performance.
The effect produced is very pleasing to all involved.’
Charles Henshaw utilised the ThermoCool™ units in combination with
both its dry glazed, capped curtain walling and its structural silicone
glazing systems.

Uphill
Struggle for Cairngorm Installers
The
thermal and weatherproofing qualities of Profile
22's 70mm Bubblex frames are more than a match for the harsh
climatic conditions at this Scottish Ski Club hut in the Cairngorm Mountains,
one of the UK's most exposed locations.
With a 1.8 U value using standard components (ie: standard low E glass)
and the Bubblex pre-gasketed system, the Profile 22 system proves it can
perform cost-effectively in even the most challenging of situations without
the need for additional measures, such as argon-filling.
This 1.8 U value meets the current requirements of Document J of the Scottish
Building Regulations.
In what is probably the company’s highest job to date, the 17 Rosewood
PVCu windows, measuring up to 2 metres by 1.2 metres, were manufactured
and fitted by Inverness-based Cairngorm Windows, the domestic division
of Alba Windows, a long-established Profile 22 fabricator.
At about 2,500 feet above sea level, it was a testing installation due
to sheer location, difficult access to the building, size of the frames
and poor weather.
Access was the first challenge, with a four-wheel drive vehicle needed
to transport men and materials uphill for half a mile from the skiers'
car park which is at 2,150 feet above sea level and is above Coylumbridge,
near Aviemore.
‘The windows and glass then had to be carried separately from the
vehicle along a wooden boardwalk and glazed in-situ due to their weight,’
explained David Dowling, Managing Director of Cairngorm Windows. ‘The
weather was also against us - although the contract was signed in September,
we had to wait until May for the weather to be good enough to start the
job.’
President of the Scottish Ski Club, Niall Graham-Campbell said most of
the original timber windows in the hut, built around 40 years ago, were
rotten. ‘So given the location and harsh climate, we felt it was
worthwhile to replace them all in one go. And we're delighted with the
result, the fitting teams did a first-class job,’ he added.

Marvault
RL Canopy Creates Dry Outdoor Play Area
A
large Marvault RL clear polycarbonate barrel vault canopy has been installed
to create a dry outdoor play area for the younger children of St Mary’s
CE Primary School, Greenfield, Oldham. Specified by architects Thorpe
Whyman & Briggs, the canopy was manufactured and fixed by Brett
Martin Daylight Systems on behalf of P&L Construction Ltd
as part of their work on the school’s new ‘Early Years Unit’.
School
Head, Mrs Helen Rowland, commented 'It’s like having an extra new
classroom. The canopy’s so clear that you almost forget it’s
there and the children love it because they can now play happily outside
whatever the weather.'
Comprising 5 interconnected bays, this bespoke Marvault RL canopy is 4.85
metres long and spans 5.175 metres. The specially rolled aluminium glazing
bars are polyester powder coated to the architect’s specification
(RAL5014, Dove Blue) and the canopy’s glazing is a single skin of
6mm Marlon FSX clear polycarbonate.
With its large span capability, Marvault RL is suitable for dry play areas,
building entrances and cycle bays. And because the modules can be easily
linked to create any length and angled to form any configuration, they’re
also suitable for external walkways between buildings as well as rooflights
on flat roofs providing natural daylight to internal rooms and corridors.
This attractive and versatile architectural glazing system has good weather
resistance, durability and reliability. Although clear solid, single skin
polycarbonate material was used on this project, Marvault RL can also
be glazed in multi-wall polycarbonate or installed as a double skin system.
Tinted options include diffused, opal, bronze or other solar protection
colours.
When installed on flat roofs, individual bays of the Marvault RL system
can be ventilated by specifying either louvre vents or manual / electrically
operated hinge openings to one side or in gull wing style. All Marvault
RL rooflights have a fully water-managed drainage system and well-engineered
extruded aluminium glazing bars either in mill finish or powder coated
to any RAL colour.

CAP
helps University of Surrey with Student Accommodation
Students
at the University of Surrey, Guildford will be accommodated in fine style
thanks to the new four storey International House, which is enclosed with
a £500k curtain wall by architectural glazing contractor CAP
Aluminium. This is CAP’s second building for the university.
Architects Lewis & Hickey, with contractor Bluestone Plc, gave the
distinctive ‘E’ shaped building a striking appearance and secure
weatherproofing by using CAP’s façade expertise to provide
an emerald, double glazed envelope.
As Kawneer’s biggest customer, its PFSG structural glazed system
was installed on three facades with 1200 Series curtain wall, powder coated
metallic grey, incorporated on the main entrance screen. Kawneer’s
601 Series top hung windows, offering high performance ventilation and
security on eleven elevations, are powder coated grey and blue metallic
to give extra definition.
At ground level, Kawneer glazed doors, some as tall as canopy level, were
designed to co-ordinate with the streamlined facades. Brise Soleil were
combined with the glazing on the north elevation to give welcome shade
during high sunlight hours.
On the same campus, the inspirational new Daphne Jackson building by architects
Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners also had Bluestone Plc as main contractor
and a facade designed and installed by CAP.

Jarrow
Developer uses Metal Technology Panel Adaptor on Coalfield Reincarnation
North-east
developer, Grantside Developments, has used one of Metal
Technology’s products to create a successful commercial
development on Viking Industrial Park, Jarrow in South Tyneside.
As part of the Enterprise Zone, this commercial ‘hot-spot’ offers
high tech accommodation to small and medium-sized businesses which will
contribute to the community’s prosperity. Already tenanted, Clarendon
House has an exterior panel and glass façade which uses Metal Technology’s
4-20 panel adaptor system on the main elevation.

window suite, the 4-20 Panel Adaptor is designed to interface with 70mm,
80mm and 100mm Kingspan aluminium cladding panels. Providing a totally
flush fit, itcan be fitted after the panels are in place. This is an attractive
option as it improves installation times and makes site programming easier
to manage.
Offering flexibility to designers, the slim slightlines and flush finish
of the 4-20 panel adaptor enhances the façade’s appearance.
Weather performance is enhanced with the continuous EPDM membrane and
dedicated drainage facility at cut edge details.
This product is site-tolerant allowing continual runs of windows with
an extensive range of structural and coupling mullions.

Metal
UK Shows Pied-A-Terre in a New Light
Metal
UK has completed the design, engineering and
installation of extensive glass features to a stunning Victorian pied-a-terre
refurbishment project in Montpelier Walk, Kensington, London.
Designer Malin Iovino‚s and architect Peter Stanway's concepts for
the refurbishment were brought to life by Metal UK's designers and engineers.
'The overall challenge was to introduce natural light to the interior,
no simple task as the house is tall, comparatively narrow and spread over
four floors,' says Malin. 'We selected Metal UK on referral after finding
that they had successfully completed similar projects in the past.'
On the ground floor, Metal UK designed, manufactured and installed a pitched
structural glass ceiling, with three-ply structural glass beams. Immediately
under this is a 2.5m x 2m cantilevered laminated structural glass balcony
floor, which allows light through into the basement area beneath. The
balcony has a three-section laminated glass balustrade and is bedded onto
a steel frame.
The stairway to the basement has been lined with a four-section monolithic
toughened glass balustrade. The basement has been converted into a combined
lounge, dining room and kitchen. At the front end Metal UK designed, engineered
and installed a structural glass entrance, featuring two of the company's
double-glazed frameless Sheerglaze pivoting doors. The roof of this has
been treated with Metal UK's Ritec product - a new spray-on treatment
that prevents dirt from adhering to the surface.
'I am absolutely delighted with the finished effect,' says Malin Iovino.
'Metal UK has been invaluable in bringing my designs to fruition. I don't
know any other company that could have interpreted my designs, engineered,
manufactured and installed the structural glass units. Most importantly,
the client is thrilled with the end result.'

Sheerframe
Creates the Perfect Match
Chesterfield
Registrars Office has found its perfect partner in Sheerframe
windows following a recent refurbishment project that also involved Chesterfield
Law Centre.
The buildings were constructed around 1934 and although not listed, are
in a conservation area. Council planners were keen that the new windows
should match as closely as possible to the failing timber sashes they
replaced, to retain the original characteristics of the buildings.
Yorkshire-based Slimline Windows Limited installed a combination of Sheerframe
vertically sliding sash (VSS) windows and Sheerframe System 7000 casements.
Richard Lee, operations director, commented, ‘We were confident that
the Sheerframe windows would meet the expectations of the planners. The
Sheerframe sashes, with arched heads and Georgian glazing bars, replicated
the existing timber windows perfectly in the registrars office, but have
non of the associated maintenance or performance problems.’
As Slimline Windows do not themselves fabricate the Sheerframe VSS they
called upon the expertise and resources of systems company L.B. Plastics
Ltd in order to produce the vertical sliders for the project. From its
factory in Derbyshire, L.B. Plastics is able to support its network of
fabricators when the project calls for more specialist products such as
arched sliding sash windows.
Invisible
Protection for St Joseph's
Century-old
stained glass windows at Brighton’s leading Roman Catholic church
are being displayed in all their glory whilst being invisibly protected
from damage with help from Brett Martin’s
Marlon FSX Longlife solid polycarbonate.
St Joseph’s Church, in Elm Grove, is completing a £1/2 million
refurbishment of the building’s exterior fabric, including re-roofing,
cleaning and repairing of stonework, and replacement of old protective
glazing in front of the stained glass windows on all facades.
CWO, the specialist stonemasonry subsidiary of Geoffrey Osborne Ltd, has
project-managed the scheme, with TRP Glazing of Chichester being tasked
with ensuring the windows were unobtrusively protected against accidental
or deliberate damage.
TRP has removed all the existing protective glazing, a combination of
6mm thick glass and polycarbonate, and replaced it with 200 shaped panels
of 6mm thick Marlon FSX Longlife clear solid polycarbonate. Each panel
has been carefully cut to a size of 600mm x 1900mm by plastics distributor
Righton, at its Portsmouth Service Centre.
Richard Heyburn, managing director of TRP, explained, 'We needed an extremely
strong material that would withstand the elements, yet be virtually invisible
so the beauty of the stained glass was not obscured. It needed to cut
easily into some quite intricate shapes. It also needed to comply with
regulations for building, fire and Health & Safety. The quality of
Marlon FSX Longlife enabled all those requirements to be met.
The 6mm thick sheet used at St Joseph’s gives light transmission
of almost 90%, ensuring the light coming through the stained glass windows
from behind is unaffected.' Adds Richard Heyburn, 'You cannot see the
Marlon once it’s installed, which is ideal in a situation like St
Joseph’s. Against the cleaned stonework, the stained windows look
like new!'
Marlon FSX Longlife is manufactured in the UK by Brett Martin Ltd. It
features a co-extruded UV protective layer on both sides of the sheet,
which prevents 'yellowing' when exposed to the elements for years and
cuts out 98% of potentially harmful UV radiation. It provides an impact
resistance up to 200 times that of same-thickness plate glass, yet is
only half the weight, easing installation and structural support/ glazing
bar requirements. Marlon FSX Longlife is Class 1 surface spread of flame
fire rated.

CAP
Glazes Straight to the Point
A
dramatic ‘ski slope’ entrance is just one of the £1m +
worth of architectural glazing features that CAP
Aluminium achieved at Castlepoint, Dorset’s newest and
largest shopping park approximately three miles from Bournemouth.
The 645,000 sq ft shopping park, anchored by Asda, B&Q Warehouse,
Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer had Mason Richard Partnership
as architects and Kier Build as contractor.
CAP, Kawneer’s largest customer Europe-wide, used Kawneer systems
for the curtain walling, doors, windows and shopfront glazing to enclose
the famous high street stores. But also spectacular entrance screens have
been constructed for M&S in Pilkington’s Planar structural glass
system and at Sainsbury’s in Kawneer Series 1203 curtain wall.
For Sainsbury’s entrance glazing, the canopy and front elevation
formed a continuous ‘ski slope’ shape. To construct this challenging
design CAP had to erect scaffolding to follow the line of the slope and,
working from top to bottom, the team achieved the dramatic, and technically
innovative, curve specified by the architect.
Constructed in a staged programme lasting about a year, CAP was additionally
responsible for the architectural glazing of the smaller stores, the lift
enclosures and library. Castlepoint is a joint venture between Standard
Life Investments, Castlemore Securities Limited and Threadneedle Investment
Properties Limited, acting on behalf of Eagle Star Life Assurance Company
Limited.

CellGlazing™
Gains Praise on Cheadle Royal Project
The
latest commercial office building to be completed at a high profile business
park on the outskirts of Manchester has utilised CellGlazing™ as
well as other glazing systems available from MagHansen.
The HansenGroup member company supplied its curtain walling system, together
with Thermestra™
structural glazing and Fenster™
windows for the work on 'Plot 5000' at AMEC's Cheadle Royal Business Park.
The Director in charge of the project for Fairhursts, Mr Ian Fitton, comments:
‘AMEC has been developing this site, previously occupied by a hospital,
for a number of years and transformed it into Manchester's premier business
park. This latest property really stands out, especially at night-time,
and the glazing solution is a major element to the appearance.
‘Fairhursts first saw CellGlazing™
in Denmark two years ago and realised its benefits. Internally it presents
a very narrow fin which you can treat and bring partitions lines to it;
or if you leave it exposed it has a narrow, pleasing profile. Externally,
instead of the traditional capped profile, there is this negative joint
which offers a crisper appearance than most systems on the market.
‘The scheme has been very well received and there are a number of
other jobs where we are likely to employ CellGlazing™
in the future.’
For the AMEC building, Fairhursts employed the Thermestra™
system for the main entrance area while the CellGlazing™
stands out on the main elevations.
MagHansen's Facad™
curtain wall system also provides a striking appearance while individual
fixed and opening Fenster™
windows complete the fenestration on the property.
MagHansen is part of the Anglo-Scandinavian HansenGroup, one of Europe's
leading fenestration specialists in curtain walls, commercial windows,
steel doors and fire resistant structural glazing. The Group has annual
sales of some £100 million and employs over 1,000 people.

Fabricator
Aire Valley Architectural Ltd did
its homework when the company was commissioned to install high quality
windows and doors into an extension at St Ann’s junior school in
Rotherham.
Working with the local council, the company used aluminium systems suppliers,
Senior Aluminium Systems (SAS), to
supply a range of silver anodised window and doors from the SPW range
to complete the visually impressive new build.
SAS’ SPW 600 is a high performance commercial window and door system
designed to meet the thermal insulation demands specified in Part L. The
range includes fixed lights, top hung, side hung, tilt turn and overswing
windows, as well as single and double rebated doors. A range of mullions
and transoms allows large composite windows to be fabricated.
SAS aluminium glazing systems was chosen because it offers a high level
of specifier flexibility and cost effectiveness. Aluminium is strong,
light, doesn’t corrode, requires little maintenance, keeps its appearance
over time and is 100% recyclable.
Senior Aluminium Systems supplies Britain’s commercial fabricators
from its head office in Denaby and two regional service centres in Newport
and Livingston.
It supplies aluminium facades, windows and doors to the commercial and
residential construction markets. It is also a major supplier of architectural
façade systems for retail outlets, educational establishments,
commercial buildings and heritage sites.
