Senior’s SF62 system gets to work in Newcastle’s landmark office development
A
n innovative aluminium curtain wall solution from Senior Architectural Systems has helped create a stunning
facade for Bank House, a new state of the art office development in the heart of Newcastle. At 12 storeys, Bank House is the tallest new build office building to have been constructed in the city in recent years and as such, required a robust solution to create the large expanses of floor to ceiling glazing deigned by Ryder Architecture. Senior’s innovative SF62 aluminium curtain wall system was the ideal choice, achieving the desired slim sightlines with the added reassurance of being able to accommodate greater structural movement. Combining an attractive robust aluminium frame with a wider 62 mm box, the increased rebate size of Senior’s SF62 system means that it is possible to provide either additional clearance between the section and infill, so that the system is able to allow the glass to move more, or greater edge cover for issues such as guarding. Benefitting from the
to achieve a BREAAM rating of ‘excellent’. Like all of Senior’s aluminium fenestration products, the SF62 curtain wall system is manufactured from recycled aluminium and can be fully recycled at the end of the building’s life. While in situ, Senior’s SF62 aluminium
curtain wall system provides
exceptional thermal performance to ensure compliance with the latest Part L requirements and the slim sightlines help maximise the flow of natural light. The
stunning
inherent strength of its aluminium frame, the new SF62 curtain wall system can also support transom loads of up to 750 kg and achieve longer glazing spans without the need for additional supporting steel to be used. Senior’s SF62 aluminium curtain wall system was fabricated and installed at Bank House by facade specialists Topside Group for main contractor Bowmer & Kirkland, who has constructed the new development

EJOT has secured FM approval for all the most widely used products in its Colorfast range of colour- matched self-drilling fasteners, providing specifi ers and contractors with another independently verifi ed ‘stamp of approval’ for the suitability of the range’s key products when used for fi xing sandwich panels, or built-up envelope systems designed to the same standard. It is a development that provides additional assurance when specifying screws for coloured roofi ng and facade sheets. While Colorfast’s original metal parent product has long been FM Approved, this latest approval classifi es the products in their own right. The third party certifi cation by FM Approvals, a division of American property insurance giant FM Global, confi rms EJOT’s stated performance capabilities for the fasteners in line with the stringent requirements of an international standard that applies to fully tested systems. Under the scheme, every element of the building envelope’s proposed construction is assessed down to the smallest fasteners, which is why it represents the ‘gold standard’ for approvals.
