Higher education with Sash
Contractors Sidlaw, Baldragon Academy made Sash UK the obvious choice when it came to replacing the existing aluminium curtain walling to one of the wings of the establishment.
"We decided to go with the PVCu facade screen curtain walling from Sash that uses the VEKA profiles," explains John Farquharson from Sidlaw "White windows with blue panels beneath were applied to two elevations of the wing and the difference is astounding"

Sash Windows UK combat new forms of burglary
Sash Windows UK are providing greater protection and peace of mind with the introduction of Excalibur RASP, an innovative new security system which combats new forms of burglary.
The screen walling instantly brightens up the visual appearance of the school which was an original 1960s building, with high storeys and uninteresting facades.
"It is the flexibility afforded by the VEKA profiles that enables us to produce the completed system," comments Mr Brian Oxley of Sash.
"If you work with the best, then you deliver the best! And that is what we are renowned for doing".
The VEKA system is centred around a multi chambered PVCu mullion that maintains narrow sightlines for optimum aesthetic appeal, and thermal efficiency, and is compatible with all Sash windows.
This is the second time this year that Sash has worked with Sidlaw to provide screen curtain walling for a Scottish school and the trend is increasing.
"We can manufacture the systems quickly and accurately, ready for immediate installation on site," continues Mr Oxley.
"Imagine how valuable that is to an educational establishment that has a tight deadline to fulfil".
Robust, elegant and conforming to all relevant regulations and legislation, the screen curtain walling assures longevity and colour fastness for many years to come.
The result for the Baldragon Academy is a brand new facade that is welcoming and inviting, offers well ventilated classrooms and that enhances the overall appearance of the school.
