Doors & Windows Senior reveals new developments at Ecobuild Fenestration systems designer and manufacturer Senior Architectural Systems is gearing up to launch two brand new, innovative products at Ecobuild - the SF52 and Pure systems. Pure is a revolutionary new aluminium window system that can help specifiers achieve exceptionally low U-values and high thermal performances. The new Pure window range is the first on the market to benefit from an enhanced thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane foam (PUR). Traditionally used in cladding and insulation products, the innovative use of PUR as a thermal barrier in windows gives the Pure system the potential to achieve U-values as low as 0.8w/m2k and is both fully recyclable and safe to handle. Designed to exceed current and meet future requirements, the Pure range is easy to manufacture using existing tools to provide the simplest yet most effective solution to the specification of thermal-efficient windows. With a generic Green Guide rating of ‘A’ for use in commercial projects and a life expectancy in excess of 40 years, Senior’s most recent product innovation has also been developed to meet the PassivHaus standard cycle. Ideally suited for use across the sectors, from education to healthcare, commercial to domestic, refurbishment and new build projects, Senior’s Pure range also boasts a number of environmentally friendly features. Manufactured using aluminium, which offers ‘cradle to cradle’ recycling, the PUR thermal barrier can also be re-used as fillers for other products, with no requirement for landfill. The Pure range is available in a range of standard finishes, both painted and adonised. The SF52 system meanwhile is fully compatible with Senior’s portfolio of windows and doors, offers visual consistency, helping any project achieve a uniformed appearance. The system is capable of holding double or triple glazed units ranging from 24mm to 50mm in thickness via the use of various gaskets and thermal breaks. Both double and triple glazing options, up to 57mm to maximise thermal and acoustic performance, are catered for, with the additional support of specification via Senior’s dedicated SENIOR ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEMS glazing division Senior Glass Systems being available. With the reassurance of Senior’s established heritage as one of the pioneers of the UK fenestration industry, the new Pure range is breaking new ground in the development of thermally efficient window systems and yet is competitively priced. SF52 has been carefully designed and developed to ensure that high aesthetics are equally matched by consistent and reliable construction quality. Suitable for ground floor TEL: 01709 772600 Senior’s new Pure system or high rise projects, full design support and technical back-up is available and the range has now been uploaded to NBS National Building Information Modelling (BIM) library. SF52 is fully CWCT tested, has excellent weather performance, is durable, recyclable and has a life expectancy of more than 40 years. It is available in an unlimited choice of colours and finishes both externally and internally. Visit Senior at stand no. N3020 at Ecobuild to find out more about the new product ranges.
