W50Therm – a break for steel windows
highly engineered, thermally broken steel sections. Importantly, these have been designed to be as similar as possible to solid, hot rolled steel sections of the W20 and W40 steel windows and offer incredible versatility. The W50Therm not only offers superior thermal performance, it also provides all the benefits traditionally associated with steel windows.

Award winning UK hardware manufacturers
J.Banks Ltd has been designing, developing and producing door and window products for over one hundred and sixty years. Following the first design for a concealed window restricting device more than twenty years ago, the company has been actively involved in a continuous programme of design and development, which has now evolved into the most comprehensive range of both con-
As insulation standards get even higher, attention is concentrated on areas of the structure that are relatively colder. Modern double-glazed steel windows minimise these problems. Now the industry has introduced the W50Therm steel window which is supplied by members of the Steel Window Association. This system is based on
The single-bank ventilation louvre system
System 75 louvres from Lareine Engineering offer high levels of ventilation, with outstanding protection against rain penetration – usually without the additional cost or complexity of a second or third bank of louvres. The system offers a range of different blade design options offering performance tailored to application requirements. Available as any size panels or assemblies, rooftop, cladding or general louvre screens including doors, corners, triangles, circles and rakes. The System 75 louvres have
rain penetration rejection of up to 99.6 per cent with up to a 24 per cent physical free area at 1m high and a K Factor of up to 52.5.

Main contractor and owner, Paul Snell, worked with his architect Charlie Luxton to transform the derelict Grade II Listed Tew Farmhouse and Barns from a dilapidated state into six luxury holiday lets. The versatility of Rooflight Company’s neo™ range meant a single glazing system for the new zinc roof could be specified. In total twenty eight neo™ roof windows in
various sizes were specified, some with concealed cill motorised opening. Where neo™ has been installed into bedrooms, blinds matching the internal décor have been fitted.
enq.216 Advanced Manufacturing in Sheffield
Factory 2050, the latest development within the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), has a striking, ultra-modern appearance, partly thanks to an external Solar Shading solution from Levolux. The development comprises a main rotunda building and an adjoining rectangular building. Levolux was approached
to develop a passive solar shading solution, to be applied to both buildings. The solution proposed by Levolux comprises oval-shaped aluminium louvres, arranged horizontally between vertical aluminium carriers. Each louvre measures 60mm wide by 50mm thick and is formed from extruded aluminium components. Based on Levolux’s Infiniti Fin system, the oval-shaped louvres feature concealed fixings for a clean, uncompromised appearance.

The Welsh Government’s 21st Century Schools Programme aims to deliver effective learning environments and to develop best practice in school design. The scheme’s main target is to create a sustainable construction system of education build-
ings in Wales. AluK systems were specified for Block 21 of the Ysgol Maes Y Gwendraeth, a new secondary school in Llanelli, South Wales, which incorporates the school’s new Design and Technology building, designed by Lawray Architects. In total, approximately 340m2
of aluminium profiles was used, with 105m2
in the AluK SL52 curtain walling system, 215m2 window systems, as well as 20m2
