IntroductionTodays fast paced construction schedules

demand it all design innovation, flexibility, high

quality, fast installation, simplified fabrication

and superior performance. Kawneers curtain

wall systems have been designed andengineered to meet these demands and more.

Our curtain wall systems have been assessed

in accordance with the relevant BS EN and

Centre for Window and Cladding Technology

(CWCT) Curtain Wall Standards.

Kawneer AA120 Sunshades

The AA120 Sunshades system has been

designed specifically for use with the AA100

and AA110 Curtain Wall systems and offers the

specifier a wide choice in terms of size andshape of shades to suit individual project needs.

The AA120 Sunshades system allows passive

solar control for the faade of the building and

can be connected to the faade either

horizontally or vertically.

Kawneer PF Curtain Wall

The Kawneer PF System is a mullion drained

modular curtain wall system, which has been

designed so that when viewed externally, the

opening vents and the fixed lights have the

same visual appearance. The PF is a modular

system with factory glazed panellised frames

that are fixed to the curtain wall grid.

All this makes the PF System an attractive and

practical option for many curtain walling

requirements.

Kawneer AA201 Unitised Curtain Wall

Our modular faade solution, AA201 Unitised

Curtain Wall, is a highly innovative concept that

has already been proven on a number of

projects in the UK and Ireland. Unitised curtain

walling is modular the individual units or panels

are assembled off site in factory controlled

conditions and then transported to site and

craned onto the building. This dramatically

reduces time on site, and thus the building can

be enclosed rapidly allowing hand-over to

following trades to take place much sooner.

PF Curtain Wall

IntroductionThe PF System is a mullion drained modular

curtain wall system, which has been designed

so that, when viewed externally, the opening

vents and the fixed lights have the same visual

appearance.

The system consists of panellised frames that

are attached, as either fixed lights, opening

lights or panel areas, to the curtain wall grids.

Each glazed panel has a visible face of 28mm

in width which in combination with a 14mm

recess between the panels, gives an overall

sightline of 70mm. Alternatively, a structurally

glazed version of the system is available,

giving the facade an all glass appearance

when viewed from the outside, with only a

14mm recessed gap between each pane.

This thermally insulated system offers manypossibilities, with a wide selection of mullions

and transoms to suit most practical

requirements.

All this makes the PF System an attractive and

practical option for many curtain walling

requirements.

IntroductionTodays fast paced construction schedules demand

high performance, fast installation, simplified

fabrication, superior performance and design

flexibility. The AA201 offers exactly that.

It offers the advantage of unitised assembly giving

the building team a unique set of benefits. These

include factory fabrication to ensure additional quality

control, rapid on site installation with slimline design

and flexibility. Unitised construction enables it to

meet the demands of fast track work schedules

and restricted working conditions. Weathering is

achieved by zone drained pressure equalisation.

The glazing provides a positive weather seal for high

performance. The system also features the

exclusive, high performance IsoPort thermal break.

The AA

201 unitised system gives the specifier awide choice of styles to create individual and

exciting building facades. The AA201 can

accommodate spandrel infill materials including

glass, granite and metal panels. It offers two sided

or four sided structural silicone glazing, fully capped

or horizontal caps giving a horizontal emphasis or

a vertical cap option giving a vertical emphasis. The

AA201 unitised curtain wall system is adaptableto any new construction project, and because it

can be quickly installed in occupied buildings with

minimal disturbance, the system is ideal for

refurbishment projects.

The AA201 unitised curtain wall system has been

engineered to meet these demands and more.

Sir Rocco Fortes prestigious Lowry Hotel

in Salford, Manchester, was the first UK project

to feature the Kawneer Unitised Curtain

Wall System. The hotel forms a key element

in the Salford regeneration corridor, linking

Manchester city centre with the centre of

neighbouring Salford. Designed by ConsarcConsulting Architects, the 30m scheme

is located in Chapel Wharf, a brownfield

regeneration zone on the Salford banks of the

river Irwell facing Manchester city centre.

The architects desire to create a highly glazed

yet expressive design led them to incorporate

some 3,100 square metres of curtain walling

for the hotels 164 bedrooms on the north,

south and east elevations. The curtain wall

design posed a number of important visual and

performance challenges. Externally the vision

for the glazed walling was to provide a smooth,

plane-like aesthetic with a horizontal emphasis,

in order to reduce the apparent scale of the

building in relation to the piazza. Internally the

system needed to be highly transparent in

order to maximise views over the city, but also

retain a degree of privacy for the hotels guests

and minimise any possible feelings of vertigo

associated with large areas of exposed, floor-

to-ceiling glass at heights. In addition the wall

had to accommodate the projects tight

construction program just 12 weeks for

installation and be of the quality befitting

Manches ters first five-sta r hotel. To this

end, the team specified the Kawneer

Unitised Curtain Wall a high performance

prefabricated glazing system.

One of the principal factors affecting the form

of the building was a planning requirement

stipulating that the scheme should respond to

the riverside piazza created by Trinity Bridge.

As a result the hotels triangular plan adopts a

dramatic 42 metre radius curve along its south

faade. The elevation was conceived with

that of the adjacent 12 storey residential

development (also designed by Consarc) as

forming a pair of sentinels at the gateway to

Salford. The glazed faades form a dramatic,curtain-like back-drop to the piazza and a

clearly designed vista along the regeneration

corridor to Salford.

Following a two-stage selection process CAP

Aluminium Systems were appointed as the

successful subcontractor with Kawneer

supplying the Unitised Curtain Wall system.

The Kawneer system was favoured by Consarc

for a number of reasons.

Firstly it offered significant time-savings

over conventional non-unitised systems.

The projects tight construction programme

required each part of the building to occur

simultaneously. The prefabrication of major

design elements ensured that manufacture

could take place off-site while the main

structure was formed. Unlike conventional

in situ curtain wall systems, the Unitised

Curtain Wall is factory assembled and, arriving

on site in large integrated units which can bequickly erected.

Secondly the system does not require

scaffolding. The units are craned or winched

into position and secured from inside the

building. As well as reducing costs, it is argued

that this results in safer working conditions.

The use of a prefabricated system also offered

the requisite quality assurances associated with

factory controlled conditions. Last but not least,

the Kawneer system was able to meet the

aesthetic demands placed on the wall design.

From the outset Kawneer and CAP worked

closely with the architect in adapting the

system to meet the specific needs of the

project, undertaking design development, the

production of shop drawings, fabrication and

installation.

The curtain walling itself comprises a system

of primary and secondary mullion and transom

sections, which are fully integrated with double-glazed window units. In terms of fabrication

and installation, each wall unit comprises three

glazed panels (two located below slab level and

one above), which are factory assembled and

fully integrated with the corresponding mullion

and transom sections. On site, the panels are

craned into position and slotted on to steel

angles which are fitted back to Halfen channels

cast into the concrete slabs. Bolted to each

angle is a steel anchor lug. This receives an

anchor attachment plate which is connected

to the inside of the primary mullion sections.The bolt connection between the lug and plate

is designed to accommodate vertical

tolerances in the concrete structure of

approximately plus or minus 12mm. The

panels were fixed from inside the building, with

CAP working along each faade installing one

floor at a time. At the top and bottom of each

wall the units are neatly terminated with post-

fixed aluminium composite panels, which

connect back to the main line of the faades.

The Lowry Hotel demonstrates theeffectiveness of off-site construction. The

Kawneer Unitised Curtain Wall not only

facilitated an impressively rapid installation

period, enabling the building to be completed

on time and within budget; it also met the

demanding performance criteria stipulated by

the project team and fulfi l led the aesthetic

objectives of the design.
