Aluminium curtain walling provides architects and designers with the perfect way to create a stunning building façade. Glass and aluminium invariably combine to deliver a glittering array that is the epitome of modern construction. Sapa Building Systems through independent double glazing manufacturers like Hazlemere Commercial in High Wycombe in Bucks can assist in meeting the technical, aesthetic and economic challenges that are associated with such building projects.
Elegance 72 is a unitised aluminium curtain walling system that brings together the benefits of factory production control and speed of installation on site. Modular units are manufactured and glazed in workshop conditions where quality can be strictly controlled. Lifting/lining plates are built into the perimeter of the units, ensuring ease of lifting during transport, distribution and arrival on site.
Fitting the modular units into place takes far less time than constructing a traditional stickbuild system and, for installations where scaffolding is unavailable or impractical, cranes can be used to hoist the panels into position quickly, efficiently and, above all, safely.
Elegance 72 can incorporate other high performance double glazed windows and doors from the Sapa Building Systems range, as well as Elegance SC solar control and solar power generation through the Sapa Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) system, thus providing a complete façade solution for any building type or style.
For example, Elegance 72 unitised curtain walling was specified for a prestigious development in Warsaw in Poland. The contract for 4,000 square metres of Sapa Elegance 72 provides a spectacular atrium linking two blocks. This installation went smoothly thanks to early involvement in the specification process by the Sapa Building System Poland design and installation team. The fast track installation that unitised systems allow was especially useful in the harsh weather conditions in Northern Poland. Rapid facade installation meant that the building was closed in, allowing secondary trades to begin their work earlier than would normally be possible if a stick system had been specified.
