SAS Gives Them L

A person doing paperwork

Senior Architectural Systems is committed to helping fabricators and installers save time and energy by working with them to create cost-effective and compliant Part L designs.

New lower U-values will be introduced in the building regulations in June 2022. Senior is already ahead of the game thanks to its patented PURe aluminium system which can achieve U-values as low as 0.71 W/m2K when calculated as a commercial CEN standard window.

The PURe system benefits from a thermal barrier manufactured from expanded polyurethane (PUR) foam. The system is available in a wide range of styles and configurations – with all configurations said to be easy to fabricate, install and maintain.

PURe aluminium commercial and residential doors match with Senior’s thermally enhanced SF52 curtain wall system.

 

Help at hand

As well as manufacturing a range of compliant aluminium fenestration solutions, Senior has also invested heavily in its technical department to ensure that fabricators, installers and specifiers have all the help and advice they need to be able to meet the new regulations head on. The manufacturer can help project teams gain a greater understanding of U-values and thermal calculations, as well as identifying value-engineering solutions that can reduce costs and carbon emissions.

Trade customers can benefit from early engagement with Senior’s experienced team of technical sales managers who can provide access to a wide range of services including detailed technical support, sales advice and help with both estimating and the use of Senior’s design and estimating software LogiKal.

 

Fab tools

Senior also offers its fabricator base a number of online resources including product guides and access to detailed technical information via a dedicated part of its website, Fab Tools.

 

Ventilation

Senior is also well-placed to advise how the specification of the fenestration package can also ensure compliance with other planned changes to the Building Regulations, particularly the new updates to Part F (ventilation) and Part O (overheating), both of which will come into effect later this year.
