After considering traditional standing seam metal roof options, the design team for a new school building in Norwich specified Catnic’s steel SSR2


Standing Seam Roofing and Cladding system.


The system proved fast to install and has created a contemporary, low maintenance roof that offers high thermal performance, impressing the design and construction team. A cost-effective alternative to traditional copper and zinc standing seam roof systems, the SSR2 system is manufactured to meet all relevant legislation, including load bearing for wind speed and weather tightness.

G-SMATT Europe will be bringing the benefits of its unique, smart glass solution to the architectural and city planning audiences as well as the events industry. The small LEDs that provide the media capability are placed at regular intervals, 20mm on the


monochromatic product up to 90mm on the colour and even the colour product will go down to about 40mm, depending on the specification. This is considerably less than other current alternatives such as an overlay or frame structure which can give the impression of being in a cage when viewed by the building's occupants.

ARCHITECTURAL ALUMINIUM DRY VERGE


Before Test


After Test Blast resistant, ventilation is possible


Windows from Crittall-Fendor that can be left open for natural ventilation but which slam shut automatically in the event of a blast can enhance the working environment in hazardous sites without compromising safety. The company’s BlastLine SlamShut window has a restricted opening that allows natural ventilation and also features as standard thermally enhanced glass that contributes towards energy efficiency. In the event of an explosion the opening vent is slammed closed by blast pressure. The window is designed to be low maintenance, is finished in an anti-corrosive paint system, and features an integrated water drainage system. It is fitted with the SlamShut latch and locking system for security and can be supplied with an energy efficient coating. Different fire rated options are available and glazing can be single, double, triple, security or acoustic.
