Leading manufacturer Senior Aluminium Systems has launched a new technical advisory service to help architects working in the healthcare sector identify the most efficient ways to improve fenestration design.

From upgrading the safety and security of doors to maximising daylighting with curtain wall systems and reducing heat loss through windows, Senior’s team of architectural advisers is offering free of charge consultations and technical support to assist with the ongoing refurbishment and repair of healthcare buildings.

A key part of this service is identifying ways to improve the energy efficiency of the fenestration design to reduce operational costs and carbon emissions.

Senior’s expertise in the development of thermally enhanced and Part L compliant aluminium windows, doors and curtain wall systems is supported by its in-house technical team.

They can advise on U-value calculations and other key considerations such as acoustic performance, solar gain, ventilation and safety guidance to prevent injuries and falls from height.

To discuss your next healthcare project with Senior and find out how aluminium fenestration systems can be better by design, please use the information below to contact your regionally based architectural adviser.
