Senior brings light and shade to new hotel scheme
D
ual coloured and slim framed aluminium fenestration solutions from Senior Architectural Systems have helped bring architectural interest to the external facade of a new multi-storey hotel in Coventry whilst ensuing the interior spaces benefit from plenty of natural light. Constructed by main contractor Bowmer and Kirkland, Hotel Indigo Coventry has been designed by architects Chapman Taylor and boasts a striking exterior which features Senior’s popular SF52 aluminium curtain wall system and SPW600 aluminium windows throughout.
The leading manufacturer’s
SPW501 aluminium commercial entrance doors were also specified, with the full glazing package fabricated and installed by specialist contractor Acorn Aluminium. Senior’s in-house powder coating service was instrumental to achieving the desired aesthetic for the hotel’s exterior facade which required the aluminium fenestration systems to complement the use of striking silver-blue metallic cladding. Opting for a dual colour finish,
Senior’s aluminium fenestration
systems were powder-coated in anthracite grey on the exterior and grey-blue to the interior of the frames. The SF52 curtain walling has been installed in columns that run the length of the building, with the metallic cladding installed in between. The darker colour of the aluminium curtain wall and inset windows add depth the building, with the recessed columns of glazing complementing the lighter shade of the facade material. In addition to design flexibility,

system and SPW600 aluminium windows have helped to create a comfortable interior
environment by maximising the flow of natural daylight and providing exceptional thermal-efficiency to achieve the desired U-values.

Technical ventilation louvres for any project
W
hile Renson is an international trendsetter in ventilation, sun protection and outdoor
living today, it all started with ventilation louvres. The family-owned business develops wall, surface-mounted, window, door, and floor louvres, in every possible size, shape, and colour.
The extensive range of louvres can meet a wealth of technical requirements: acoustic attenuation, burglary prevention, water resistance, fall-through safety to fire resistance,
thermal sealing, and specific
filter properties. As most ventilation louvres remain visible in the shell of a building, Renson also pays a great deal of attention to their aesthetic aspect: impeccable coatings,

no visibility when looking perpendicular to the louvre, good drainage to avoid water damage, and a completely rust- free and durable finishing in aluminium contribute to the foundation of its success. To make sure you chose the right ventilation
louvres in the minimal amount of time, we built a louvre selector tool. Just enter your requirements and we’ll show you the suitable products.
