Kawneer Curtain Walling & Brise Soleil
The AA®100 curtain wall system is available as a standard 50mm system, or for increased loads and movement, a 65mm system. By providing a unique dry jointed facade solution the AA®100 and AA®110 systems can be installed as fully capped, horizontal capped, or structural silicone glazed. For 30 minute fire resistance the AA®100/AA®110 FR is designed as a stick curtain wall assembly. PF curtain wall is a mullion drained modular curtain wall system, which externally has the appearance of an all glass facade.
AA®201 unitised curtain wall is a modular facade solution. Individual panels or units are assembled off site in factory controlled conditions then transported to site and craned onto the building. This helps to meet the demands of today’s fast paced construction schedules of high performance, fast installation, simplified fabrication, superior performance and design flexibility.
Kawneer’s curtain wall, window and framing systems can accommodate the Kawneer AA®130 Brise Soleil System which adds a stunning design statement to the building facade; optimising the natural daylight within a building whilst limiting the solar heat gain and glare to provide optimum comfort for residents. A comprehensive range of both standard and bespoke sections in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours is available.
Kawneere’s PF Curtain Wall is a mullion drained modular curtain wall system, designed so that, when viewed externally, the opening vents and the fixed lights have the same visual appearance, making it an attractive and practical option for many curtain walling requirements. The PF 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.
Kawneer Windows
The AA®720 windows are a 72mm profile incorporating the very latest thermal technology and meet the latest european requirements for thermal perfornance, including expected changes up to 2019. Glazing and panels up to 56mm thickness can be accommodated enabling the use of triple glazing. The AA®720 windows offer versatility in design encompassing a wide variety of configurations, including the AA®720 FR (Fire Resistant) consisting of door and fixed light varients.
The AA®540 series corresponds to the BRE Global Green Guide online generic specification for windows and achieves a summary rating of A*. The range consists of the AA®541 casement, the AA®542 pivot and the AA®543 tilturn window designed to offer optimum weather and thermal performance at a competitive price.
The AA®600TE and AA®600TEPlus series is a high performance totally integrated system consisting of the AA®601TE and AA®601TEPlus casement, AA®601TE parallel opening, AA®602TE pivot, the AA®603TE tilturn and the AA®603 tilt slide, available as a door or a window.
For the replacement of steel windows the GT70 Slimline Renovation window is Kawneer’s aluminium profile that is designed to replicate steel windows.
Kawneer Sliding Solutions
Kawneer also supplies an extensive range of door and window sliding solutions. These include the AA®3110 horizontal sliding window & door, the specialist healthcare AA®3110HW window, the AA®3610 vertical sliding window and the AA®3610LS window, a unique solution which opens the top and bottom sashes simultaneously for improved ventilation.
The AA®3720 folding/sliding door and the AA®3572 lift/slide door systems have been developed as a solution for projects that demand the highest levels of thermal and weathering performance. The AA®3720 is equally suited to the discerning home owner or installed in commercial premises that wish to enhance the environment whilst the AA®3572 is an ideal space saving solution where safety is a consideration and projecting swing doors are undesirable.
Kawneer Entrance Doors & Framing
The 190 narrow style door is recommended for use in heavy traffic areas and the 350 heavy duty door provides the durability needed in especially high traffic areas. The 10D door has been designed to offer flexibility in design, durability and ease of installation. Kawneer offers two swing doors, both single action open-in or open-out with the AA®545 designed to offer optimum weather and thermal performance at a competitive price and the AA®605TE/AA®605TEPlus designed to optimise thermal performance.
The AA®603TE tilt/slide door is available in a variety of single or double tilt slide and fixed light combinations and is ideal for the high rise residential market. The AA®720 door is available in two levels of thermal performance to enable flexibility of design, performance and cost. The AA®720 FR is a door and fixed light variants enabling design flexibility when fire protection is a requirement to building design.
Kawneer has two framing systems available, the thermally efficient 451PT suitable for ground and first floor applications, combining thermal performance with product aesthetics, suitable for use on commercial projects, in the public sector and is also ideal for large display windows in the retail sector. Also the AA®4001, a semi-unitised system which complies with acoustics to BB93 and provides students with environmentally friendly BB95 classrooms and is ideal for refurbishment projects.

Kawneer helps Tonbridge School build on its literary history
Kawneer helps Tonbridge School build on its literary history
Two new extensions to Tonbridge School's Smythe Library feature Kawneer glazing systems.
Architectural glazing systems by leading UK manufacturer Kawneer were specified for the most significant external change to the £3.6 million refurbishment of a library at one of Kent's most prestigious independent boys' schools.
Kawneer's AA®100 mullion-drained curtain walling with bespoke fin caps and AA®541 concealed vents along with AA®720 entrance doors feature on a stunning new 13.5m high circulation tower topped by an AA®100 rooflight at the Smythe Library at Tonbridge School.
They were specified by architects BDP to drive a simple natural ventilation strategy and enable high levels of natural light and were installed on the south elevation of the 1962 building for main contractor Buxton Building Contractors by JPJ Installations.
Kawneer's curtain walling with the bespoke fin caps in front of steel columns also features on a two-storey extension to the north elevation. This faces the school chapel and acts as an extension to the cloister or colonnade which joins the library to the main school.
The school recognised the building, which was designed by Sir William Holford, no longer fulfilled the demands of a 21st Century learning environment and although it is not listed, as many of its buildings are, wanted to build on its history rather than resort to new-build.
The new building also needed to meet rising school numbers - from 500 pupils when the library opened more than half a century ago, to almost 800 now. But providing additional learning and study spaces was a particular challenge given its narrow 8.3m width.
The library itself, a double height space with mezzanine level, occupied only the upper two of four floors, where there were varying floor to ceiling heights, with classrooms on the first floor and storage at ground floor level. Vertical circulation was one particular area requiring improvement.
BDP's strategy combined extensive internal refurbishment (stripping out all internal walls and corridors) with two new extensions to create a four-level library of 1,130m2 which provided some 40% extra study/learning space.
The contemporary new circulation tower was conceived as a "vertical cloister" containing both a lift and a timber staircase within its 5.6m deep, 7.2m wide space which spans the three central bays of the library's nine-bay facade. These generous dimensions allow the incorporation of seating benches, and behind the bottom of the staircase, beanbags!
As well as providing much-needed vertical circulation space, the tower was also the opportunity to address ventilation issues as it creates a stack effect, pulling air through the building. The Kawneer vents help this to be drawn out when required.
Like the north lobby, the Kawneer curtain walling incorporates the anodised aluminium fins which create a clear vertical rhythm but here they continue uncapped beyond the parapet line to give the feeling of reaching skyward.
The library was re-opened after a 14-month build by HRH Princess Alexandra.

The windows have been arranged in L-shapes over 16 storeys of Birmingham's Holiday Inn Express.
Aluminium windows by leading UK manufacturer Kawneer are at the heart of a striking patterned façade to one of Birmingham's latest new hotels.
The Holiday Inn Express in the city centre features sets of three of Kawneer's AA®540 windows as fixed lights designed in L-shapes within checks of multi-coloured rainscreen cladding by KKA Architecture.
The façade of the hotel in Birmingham city centre's enterprise zone also uses Kawneer's AA®110 zone-drained curtain walling with 65mm sightlines and series 190 heavy-duty commercial entrance doors.
The Kawneer systems were installed over 20 months by APiC UK for main contractor John Sisk and Son who were awarded the contract following their successful completion of the Holiday Inn Express Manchester Hotel for the same client (DRPT Birmingham).
The £16.3 million hotel comprises 250 bedrooms, restaurant, reception and meeting room facilities over 17 storeys, with three lifts and CCTV and PA to all areas. It forms part of the new 1.2 million ft2 Arena Central mixed-use development currently under construction on nine acres of adjoining land.
Construction was steel frame to levels one and two and to transfer decks, with floors three to 17 in precast crosswall construction. The façade is rainscreen to all elevations with the Kawneer windows as inset glazing that looks as impressive from the interior as it does the exterior.
APiC director Andrew Stapleton said: "An unusual aspect of this project is the pattern on the L-shaped windows which provide an interesting feature in this impressive precast structure. This visually striking hotel is a great new addition to APiC UK's growing portfolio of hotel installations and the ever-evolving Birmingham city skyline."
