Senior Aluminium Systems' high performance curtain wall system lends a striking impression to the town centre of Otley, West Yorkshire,

Lending a striking impression to the town centre of Otley, West Yorkshire, is Senior Aluminium Systems' high performance curtain wall system The brand new Otley Library and Tourist Information Centre, by Leeds City Council, designed by Architectural Design Services, has an attractive curved gable end that features SAS' SCW curtain wall sloping upwards to a sharp central point

Come nightfall the blue clear glass is illuminated by fluorescent blue lighting adding a glamorous sparkle to the area.

Fabricator, Aire Valley Architectural, faceted the SCW thermally broken box section profiles to form the semi-circular curtain walling to give the impression of a curved screen.

Dual colour powder coated - grey on the outside and white on the inside - Aire Valley also installed SAS doors into the new build entrance.

Commenting on Senior's involvement in the project, Martin Illingworth of Aire Valley Architectural said: "We have specified Senior's products on other schemes so were confident in the quality and long-term performance of its systems".

"This scheme had a demanding specification for the faceted curtain wall, which we were able to deliver using the SCW box section profiles".

Says Leeds City Council Libraries Service delivery manager Bev Rice: "The new facility is an open, well lit space that has been well received by the staff and visitors as a replacement for the previous library".

Independently owned, Senior Aluminium Systems offers a one-stop aluminium and powder coating service for the architectural aluminium glazing market.

Providing high performance glazing products with a responsive and personal service, SAS operates from three service centres in Denaby Main, Newport and Livingston.
