External Fixtures Formica® laminate is a key design feature
Designed by Capella Garcia Arquitectura, Espai Ridaura is a multi-purpose building located in Santa Cristina d’Aro, Spain. The architects, Juli Capella and Miquel Garcia created a stunning look using VIVIX® exterior façade panels. An exceptional feature of the Espai Ridaura project is
its entrance; or rather the canopy above the entrance door. Featuring VIVIX® exterior façade panels in Fantasia Marron, an earth tone evoca- tive of the area terrain, the canopy is a unifying element of the whole structure linking the inside with the outside. Carrying the Carbon Trust’s Carbon Reduction Label, VIVIX panels incorporate Formica Group's commitment to sustainable principles and practices.

www.formica.com Halo is proud to hit a new low!
Halo, the pioneering new window system supplier, has unveiled the TwinSash, which can achieve a U-value of 0.38 W/m²K and reduce noise levels by around 50dB. This level of performance is reached by using triple-glazed, krypton-filled units and foam-filled sections. It can even achieve extremely low U-values using what is considered to be the industry’s most cost-effective combination of com- ponents; using two 28mm double glazed IGUs (air
filled, float glass and aluminium spacer bar) the TwinSash can still achieve a U-value of just 1.2. The TwinSash can offer a combination of open- in/open-out casements, along with Tilt 'n' Turn windows.

www.halo-uk.com Levolux makes tracks in Calgary
Following almost 30 years of planning, Calgary recently opened its new Light Rail Transit (LRT) route serving its south-west communities with six new stations, featuring state-of-the-art, energy efficient components including a Levolux solar shading solution. As a leading provider of Solar Shading solutions, Levolux was
invited to develop bespoke solutions for six buildings, comprising its Infiniti® Fin System and Aerofoil Fins, formed from extruded aluminium components. In total, Levolux supplied 227 aerofoil-shaped Fins, applied against vertical, inclined and curved elevations. The Fins, measuring 300mm or 400mm in width, provide effective passive solar control to glazed openings in ticket halls and platform enclosures.
Ultra slim profiles feature on Hi-Finity system
A stylish, new sliding door range, from Reynaers Aluminium, Hi-Finity is a sustain- able, ultra-slim profile system that made its debut at Ecobuild. Innovative in style and design and with industry-leading profiles that hardly impact on the exterior view, Hi-Finity
allows, more than ever, the internals of a building to merge seamlessly with the outdoors. This not only gives a light and airy feel to any living space, but also increases the feeling of spaciousness. Providing extra strength and durability, the glazed units can accommodate large glass panels of up to 500kg. Although the large glazed areas already offer good thermal effi- ciency, Hi-Finity is also available in double and triple glazed versions to provide increased levels of thermal and acoustic insulation.
