STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS BUILDING ENVELOPE SWA member replaces 203 steel windows
Steel Window Association (SWA) member, REA Metal Windows, has completed work on the Grade II listed Dantzic on the NOMA estate in Manchester. Situated near Manchester Victoria train station, Dantzic, NOMA has been transformed into 45,000 sq ft of office space. After completing a site survey of the selected area, REA supplied 203 W20 steel windows; replicating the original window fenestration. 1600 individual frames were required for this project and each one of them was hot dipped,
galvanised and polyester painted to a RAL 9001 semi-gloss (cream) finish. Once installed into their respective openings on site, the frames were glazed with Part L compliant 16mm krypton gas filled double glazed units.

To build safer, stronger structures requires more than just top quality joist hangers; equally important is choosing the correct sized joist hanger. Regularised timber is now the UK standard, which means 50mm hangers are yesterday’s news. Unlike rough sawn timber, where the width of a joist can be anything up to 50mm, regularised timber is planed down and the edges rounded for consistency, so regularised timber is always 45mm. At Simpson Strong-Tie we know that size matters! Regulated hanger sizes have long been offered across our hanger ranges. National Builders Merchant Sales Manager Steve Allen explains: “Our 47mm range provides the correct, secure fit. Using 50mm wide hangers leaves a gap between the hanger and the joist, which not only requires structural packing in order to meet regulations, but can still result in twisting timber and squeaky floors.“The wider the hanger, the more important it is to use regularised sizing – and Simpson offer it as standard. We have 47mm hangers for singles joists, 91mm for doubles and 137mm for triple joist applications. Hanging two regularised joists in a traditional 100mm wide hanger results in a gap of 10mm, and three joists in a 150mm hanger means a 15mm gap to pack!” 47 is the new 50 – have you switched yet?
