Chatham Maritime to peak with Kawneer
Unitised or modular curtain walling from architectural aluminium systems supplier Kawneer will be used on two apartment towers at Chatham Maritime development in Kent.
As well as a concealed mechanism that enables the window to be locked open at 100mm, other safety features include anti-lift blocks so the sliding vents cannot be removed once they are installed, and options for glazing up to 33mm which allows for specialist safety or security glass.
The AA3110 is an example of Kawneer's recognition that special projects need special support.
They have therefore set up a dedicated support team who can advise on hospital requirements to ensure the best solution for the most demanding applications.
Available in a variety of sizes with a maximum sliding vent weight of 200kgs and with options for operation from inside or outside, making it ideal for balcony environments, the AA3110 window also features a dual colour option.
Designed to be pressure equalised and fully drained, Kawneer's AA3110 window also features single or double sliding options, three-or four-pane options, a stainless steel track with adjustable stainless steel wheels allowing for smooth and robust operation, and a ventilator that adjusts itself according to the wind pressure, all ensuring occupant comfort.
