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 champions the use of architectural glazing in a HQ redevelopment
Kawneer champions the use of architectural glazing in a HQ redevelopment
The manufacturer's curtain walling, windows and doors feature on the HQ redevelopment.
Architectural aluminium glazing systems by leading UK manufacturer Kawneer have helped to overcome a host of design challenges for the redevelopment of the headquarters of an iconic British organisation.
Kawneer's AA®110 curtain walling, AA®720 thermally-superior doors and AA®720 bespoke trapezoidal opening lights were used on the retrofit of the central London head office of the leading consumer rights champion.
The mullion-drained SSG (Structurally Silicone Glazed) curtain walling, with 65mm sightlines, was specially adapted by Kawneer and approved installer JPJ Installations to meet the design by architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF). The AA®720 lights were also a bespoke design by JPJ.
KPF's brief was to remodel the existing building to meet the needs of a modern charity and business, to encourage the evolution of working practices within the organisation and promote team working.
The Kawneer systems feature on arguably the two most striking elements of the redevelopment of the 6,684m2 hybrid building which comprises two distinct elements - a Grade II listed Georgian terrace and a 1980s concrete-frame office building.
Improving circulation and connectivity between the listed and 1980s building, KPF's design has increased open-plan office space by removing sections of the original 1980s concrete core at the threshold with the listed building which is also in a Conservation Area and near a Grade I listed church.
As the main contractor, Structure Tone led the construction of that design, which involved relocating the core to the west side of the building and the extension of the floorplate to accommodate additional workstations. Along Peto Place, the transformation is completed by the introduction of a new façade comprising an abstract pattern of alternate transparent and translucent glazing panels by Kawneer.
A new communal space has been created at ground level to form a central meeting hub, linking the 1980s building with the development's main entrance within the listed building. The reception area and other key internal spaces have been upgraded with high-quality materials and finishes to create a smart and contemporary workplace while remaining sympathetic to the nature of the listed building's original details.
The scheme also utilised the large flat roof of the existing 1980s building by moving the roof-top plant to create an additional storey which rests on the structure of the existing building. This makes use of Kawneer's AA®110 curtain walling again but with AA®720 doors within it on the gable end and the tall and slender AA®720 windows at intervals within the eaves.
This penthouse-like proposition presents as a unique and complex geometric form, designed to minimise the impact on local historic views. The new floor accommodates a conference facility, canteen and accessible roof-top terrace to provide dynamic and versatile meeting, event and amenity space.
The Kawneer curtain walling needed to accommodate large deflection criteria to the edge of the floor slab. This required project-specific SSG toggles to match the glass specification of 43mm and 57.6mm triple-pane clear glass, and 59.6mm triple-pane opaque glass.
In addition, a bespoke horizontal joint support was created to omit horizontal toggles, with the glass panes supported on the two vertical edges. This design also required a new glazing bridge and the silicone seal was increased from the standard 24mm to 30mm to permit greater glass rotation under building deflection.
The sky's the limit for Kawneer glazing systems

Architectural aluminium systems by Kawneer help a new research centre take flight.
Architectural glazing systems by leading UK manufacturer Kawneer were specified for a multi award-winning research centre for their design and performance capabilities.
Kawneer's AA®100 zone-drained curtain walling and three types of doors were selected by frequent Kawneer specifiers CPMG architects for the £12.5 million Aerospace Integration Research Centre (AIRC) at Cranfield University in Bedfordshire. Cranfield is the only university in Europe to combine major aerospace research facilities such as the AIRC with an operational airport and runway.
The Kawneer curtain walling panes of 3m x 1.3m, and AA®720 thermally-superior doors, series 190 heavy-duty commercial entrance doors and AA®3720 bifold doors, were installed on the steel-frame structure over eight months by a team of four from approved dealer Drayton Windows for main contractor and their parent company RG Carter.
The 3,400m2 AIRC is one of Cranfield's newest world-class facilities and is of international significance. Co-funded by Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Government and the university, industry and academia work together under one roof on cutting-edge research.
Facilities include a flight simulator and laboratories for air traffic management, unmanned aerial vehicles, a virtual wind tunnel, a FANUC robot in the intelligent automation centre, and a 1,500m2 open laboratory with 18m x 6m sliding doors to give access for demonstrator aircraft such as the university's 19-seater Jetstream 31.
CPMG's brief was for a state-of-the-art research centre that will help to change the design of future aircraft, bringing academic research and the testing of new ideas by the co-funders. Their design is apt - a BREEAM "Excellent" three-storey interpretation of a modern hangar.
The BIM Level 2 designed accommodation comprised a triple-height entrance atrium and high bay area containing avionics, thermals, mechanical, electrical and structural laboratories … and the second largest gantry crane in Europe using the only "Mega" lift jacking system available in the UK.
Covered laboratories between these triple-height spaces offer the opportunity for further controlled research. Two further floors of accommodation arranged above the covered laboratories include visualisation and simulation suites, open-plan office areas and university meeting areas. Views from these upper floors benefit from an aspect that overlooks the high bay area and entrance atrium, showcasing aerospace research and providing collaborative working environments. The building includes exposed concrete soffits for thermal mass and photovoltaics for renewable energy generation.
CPMG associate lead Aiden Bell said: "We made sure the designs for the facility not only met the brief to provide the space and functionality that was needed but also reflected the university's strong architectural identity which already has a number of flagship buildings. Our design was selected from a number of competitors as we portrayed the strength of the university's academic research within the architecture of the building.
"We specified the Kawneer systems as they could achieve the tight u-values and required design criteria for two curtain walling systems that were 38m wide x 13m high. Both east and west elevations have large expanses of the Kawneer curtain walling to offer visibility to the entrance lightwell and the high bay area at the rear of the building. It allowed the interior aspects of the atrium and high bay area to be showcased."
He added: "The university's commitment to sustainability in general and to a better performance on environmental issues is a fundamental part of its strategic vision. All major developments must be to the highest possible energy standards, achieve BREEAM excellent and have minimal carbon impact. The latest technology and innovative solutions to minimise heat gains and maximise lighting and natural ventilation are implemented."
RG Carter, who were on site, on the perimeter of the airport, for two years, said: "Using our in-house capabilities with Carter Design, we provided support and advice from our own structural and civil engineers to redesign the structural frame and change the curtain walling system from a self-supported to a supported glazing system, and also provide additional support to the structural frame.
"Together with advice from our own in-house company Drayton Windows, we provided the architect and engineer with design and construction details, as well as windload and structural calculations, from specialist suppliers such as Kawneer to develop a workable solution that met the client's expectations and still followed the design concept that the architect had laid down."
The AIRC has won a LABC national award for Best Large Commercial Project and a RICS East award for Design through Innovation.
