Ecobuild Preview

Specifier N1192
SMART ARCHITECTURAL ALUMINIUM Commercial systems specialist Smart Architectural Aluminium is to showcase a number of new products at this year’s Ecobuild exhibition, as well as presenting its sustainability credentials.
The company will use the exhibition to unveil its drive to become a carbon neutral business including plans to be energy self-sufficient. Previewing the company’s plans, Managing Director Eddie Robinson, said, “Over recent years, we have implemented a range of environmental policies and procedures including an ISO14001 Environmental Management System and the introduction of strict recycling protocols.
“As part of our future expansion programme, we plan to develop our manufacturing site in the UK - which will see capacity increase by more than 50% and the workforce almost double. This will also see the installation of two wind turbines on site, allowing us to generate one hundred percent of our power locally. We will be the only UK-based manufacturer with the capability of extruding, finishing and distributing aluminium profiles from a single site and in total, these developments will help reduce our carbon footprint by around 750,000 tonnes each year. That’s roughly the equivalent amount that an average car would produce driving round the equator - 90,000 times!”
As well as highlighting these new development plans, Smart will also be showcasing a number of new systems. At the heart of the company’s stand will be a 4 metre by 6 metre run of MC600 Smart Wall curtain walling, complete with a new Smart Wall commercial door which is being launched at the show. The new rebated swing door delivers excellent U-values and weather protection and with an anti-finger trap, is ideal for schools, hospitals, libraries and other public buildings. The UK’s first thermally-broken door to be tested to LPS 1175 (level 2) and EN1627 (level 3), the Smart Wall Commercial Door is available with either a low or rebated threshold and may be retro-fitted if required.
Another new door to be launched at the show is an extension to the proven Evolution range, a suite of products developed for refurbishment projects where traditional steel doors and windows need to be replaced. With like-for-like sight lines, the system is perfect for commercial renovation projects - replacing tired steel windows and doors with a modern, thermally broken, aluminium equivalent.
The Visoglide Plus sliding door completes the company’s new door display. With slim sight lines and exceptional thermal performance, the product is available up to an impressive 2.4 metres by 5.2 metres; with the option of auto-slide gearing, it is designed for high end commercial applications such as retail outlets and showrooms.
Amongst the company’s new window systems on display will be the Alitherm 700 and Eco Futural ranges, with both displays featuring auto-gearing solutions, which make the products ideal when used as part of buildings’ integrated natural ventilation and climate control systems. Also on the stand will be the Slide 2000 horizontal sliding windows, developed specifically for high volume, light commercial applications such as schools and hospitals and particularly applications where an open sash is required to provide increased ventilation.
Eddie Robinson continued: “We believe our stand for this year’s show captures the essence of Ecobuild and are looking forward to showcasing our new products and outlining our business sustainability plans to the show’s visitors.”
ISO-CHEMIE (Stand N1220) One of Europe’s leading producers of foam sealant tapes ISO-Chemie will be showcasing its range of fast and easy to install high performance foam sealing tapes at Ecobuild.
These will include The ISO-BLOCO Reno self-adhesive sealing system, which fits directly into the U or L-recess left from the removal of an old window before installation of the replacement one to provide a 100% airtight and vapour barrier sela plus an external weather tight seal.
In addition to a new ‘hands on’ demonstration display all about air tightness, ISO-Chemie will also be showing the iso3 system which provides three levels of sealing - external sales provide weather resistance and breathability while the intermediate seal provides extra thermal and acoustic properties and the internal one air tightness and humidity regulation. All three levels are designed to accommodate movement between the adjacent materials.
The system features a combination of materials which can be mixed and matched to suit the individual installation. These include the ISO-BLOCO 600 tapes, ISO-BLOCO HF tape, and various ISO-CONNECT window foils such as the Vario SD, CX and FD ranges. The window foils can be installed using either the factory applied adhesives or the separate ISO-TOP flex- adhesive for airtight and windproof bonding of window connection films and loft foils.
