Senior Architectural Systems has marked 2025 with a series of transformative milestones, reinforcing its reputation as one of the UK’s most forward-thinking manufacturers of aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling solutions. From product innovation to championing best practice in communicating technical information, and even a touch of beekeeping, Senior has had quite a year!

SF52 curtain wall system gains EPD certifi cation Senior’s commitment to transparency and sustainability has been further demonstrated with the launch of a new Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its SF52 mullion-drained aluminium curtain wall system. Independently verifi ed and developed in accordance with EN 15804+A2 and ISO 14025:2011, the SF52 EPD provides detailed insights into the system’s environmental impact across its full lifecycle. Unlike many EPDs that include insulated glass units, which are typically not supplied by system houses, Senior has chosen to omit glazing from its calculations on the environmental credentials of its SF52 aluminium system. This is because the heavy weight of glass, combined with its relatively low carbon per kg, can make the overall fi gures for the aluminium system look lower than they really are after conversion. By omitting the glazing from its EPD, Senior ensures that the carbon fi gure per square metre refl ects only the aluminium system itself, giving a more accurate and honest assessment. This bold approach sets a new benchmark for product transparency in the fenestration industry and provides a solid foundation for the publication of further EPDs for Senior’s doors and windows. Celebrating a decade of PURe® innovation This year also marks ten years of Senior’s pioneering PURe® aluminium window and door system. Launched in 2015, PURe® was the fi rst UK aluminium system to incorporate a thermal barrier made from expanded polyurethane foam, delivering exceptional thermal performance. To celebrate this milestone, Senior also
unveiled a new closed-loop recycling process for its PURe® systems. This initiative ensures that end-of-life PURe® products can be fully recycled and reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy. Introducing the SPD 150 commercial door Senior’s product portfolio also continued its evolution with the development of the new SPD 150 aluminium commercial door. Designed to meet the demands of high-traffi c environments, the SPD 150 off ers enhanced durability, security, and ease of operation. With its robust construction and sleek design, the SPD 150 is set to become a go-to solution for commercial projects requiring reliable and stylish entrance systems. Buzzing with biodiversity Away from the factory fl oor, Senior has embraced a sweeter kind of sustainability with the installation of its very own beehive. Located at the company’s dedicated Thermal Improvement Facility in Rotherham, the hive supports local biodiversity and refl ects Senior’s holistic approach to environmental responsibility. This year saw the harvesting of the fi rst batch of honey, another milestone that was celebrated by staff and shared with customers. For more information on Senior’s
