Kawneer supplies curtain walling for hospital

Curtain walling, windows and doors from Kawneer have been used for the development of Ipswich Hospital.

The Garrett Anderson Centre features Kawneer's AA100 fully capped curtain walling, AA601 side-hung casement windows, 190 heavy-duty and AA605 thermal swing doors externally as well as AA100 slope-glazed rooflight over the reception.

AA600 Series fixed-light screens were used for the critical care bedrooms and facetted security room internally.

The centre is constructed in braced steel frame with composite concrete floors.

Kawneer's windows feature in large bays, which run almost the length of some of the elevations and in recessed balcony areas, as well as in ribbon strips on the ground and first floors that cantilever over the ambulance bay corner.

A large number of the Kawneer windows feature coloured glass vertical fins that echo the coloured glass used in some of the ribbon strips of Kawneer curtain walling.
