Comar Systems specified for mixed-use project
Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems worked closely with Alan Spear, a Comar approved fabricator, on a new-build housing project in Plymouth.
Comar systems for church refurbishment
Comar 6 and 7 enabled spaciousness and light to be addressed in the design brief for the entrance refurbishment at the Baptist Church in Teddington.
Also, the showroom is flooded with natural light and attracts the potential buyer into the spacious and friendly environment.
This was achieved through fenestration.
Comar aluminium profiles systems are designed to easily support the requirements for such applications.
The external walls of the garage were envisaged to incorporate large glass panes, some of which exceeded 3 metres in height.
Because the garage sits in a flat countryside subjected to the rigours of the weather, it was of the essence to provide an accurate wind-loading calculation.
Design and Creation, a Comar approved fabricator, collaborated with the architect on this project from the early design stages, assisting with drawings and wind loading.
Comar's Technical Department ensured the right Comar system was specified.
Comar 6 stick-build curtain wall high-span millions incorporated expansive singled-glazed panes of toughened glass.
Comar 7 manual butt-hung swing doors were hung directly onto Comar 6 curtain walling, creating an attractive entrance.
Since all Comar systems are completely integrated, the same slim 50mm sight-lines are maintained throughout the facade.
The aluminium windows were powder coated in white, blending with the silver-grey cladding in the facade's top elevation.
The blue of the vertical columns along the facade added to the colour scheme which underpinned the brand identity of Mercedes-Benz.
