A new specification guide to its portfolio of architectural aluminium glazing systems has been published by Kawneer.
The architect’s guide to aluminium in building is presented as 380 individual and easily updated pages within a ring binder that is then housed within a slip case to give it additional presence and longevity on architects’ library shelves. The new specification guide details Kawneer’s ‘peerless’ portfolio of traditional ‘stick’ and unitised curtain walling systems, door and window systems, door and window sliding systems, framing systems, Brise Soleil, and blast-enhanced and fireresistant systems. It also features wellillustrated sections on design consideration ‘prompters’, such as ventilation and windload requirements, building movement, acoustic and thermal performance, DDA compliance, interfaces, and finishings.
Kawneer added: “This focus is also extended to sustainability, product materials and finishes, installation, fabrication and site work, services and support, and maintenance and cleaning.”
‘Beautifully photographed’ case studies show the Kawneer systems in use, including in the healthcare sector.
