The centre point of the campus is the spectacular atrium composed of Comar 6 curtain walling, which directly incorporates Comar 7 auto-swing doors with anti-finger trap stiles.
Glazing is an important feature of this building's facade and its function is two-fold.
The curtain walling on the stairwell is the main area where daylight is allowed to penetrate the building.
As well as maximising the amount of natural light, the curtain wall also provides the necessary tone and textural balance between the bold red brick-work of the new wing and the more sombre grey-blue cladding of the main building.
Powder coated in black, Comar 6 aluminium curtain wall links the original edifice with the new extension, giving this multi-layered facade a sleek finish.
The hotel was functioning throughout the construction period, which made the speed of installation imperative.
The versatile Comar 6 stick-build curtain walling is ideally suited for such fast on-site installations.
High-span mullions allow here for the five floors span, totalling 16 meters to the eaves, whilst keeping the same 50mm slim sight lines throughout the installation.
Laminated and toughened glass panels are incorporated into the aluminium framework.
Comar 5 top hung windows, which fully integrate with Comar 6 curtain walling and come in all configurations are, in this project, installed directly into the brick wall reveals.
Aluminium's inherent longevity and low maintenance make it the metal of choice for use in curtain walling, doors and window systems in the commercial sector.
Due to their efficiency and thorough knowledge of the Comar systems, Halifax Aluminium, Comar's approved fabricator, completed the project successfully on time. Request a free brochure from Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems ...
