Crittall’s thermally broken T60 – a 21st Century solution
S
teel window and doors manufacturer Crittall are reporting a surge in demand for its T60 range. T60 is an innovative, thermally broken steel window and door system that combines the aesthetics of the company’s traditional and much-loved fenestration solutions with 21st century levels of thermal and acoustic performance. The range incorporates an advanced, high-density polyurethane thermal barrier isolator, which facilitates the use of high-performance double- and triple-glazing up to 37mm wide. This ensures that T60 windows and doors exceed the demands of the Building Regulations, while remaining almost identical – in visual terms – to Crittall’s traditional rolled steel profiles. By employing thermal break technology, T60 can provide
contemporary comfort
levels in environments where traditional steel windows may have previously
struggled.
Equally importantly for architects and their clients, the windows and doors retain slim
sightlines, maximising both visual appeal and daylighting. Fitted with high-performance insulating glass, T60 will provide a whole window U-value as low as 0.8 W /m2
K.
Sound reduction over 40dB can be achieved using laminated sound-reducing glass. Each frame is fully welded ensuring strength and durability. As specifiers would expect from Crittall, T60 complies with the latest EN performance standards relating to air filtration, water permeability and structural wind-resistance.
The functionality of T60 is further boosted by a wide range of opening configurations comprising side, top and bottom; inward or outward; vertical and horizontal pivot (for the classic warehouse aesthetic); and double- leaf inward or outward opening doors. Tilt and turn options, together with reversible pivots and folding-sliding formats, will be unveiled later this year. T60’s
visually clean and slender design means that it is ideally suited to ADF09_Crittall_External Envelope - Doors &

both newbuild and restoration projects. Traditional aesthetics ensure that the profile can be specified with confidence on listed buildings and projects in conservation areas.
Blue Chip Project
A new building in the grounds of historic Trinity College, Oxford, illustrates how T60 helps marry 21st Century environmental performance seamlessly with traditional aesthetic requirements. Crittall’ s T60 thermally broken steel windows make a major contribution to the Levine Building’s sustainability credentials.
