SAS Provides the Gateway to a Brand New Look

Senior Aluminium Systems (SAS) has given a university building a brand new look. Gateway House at DeMontfort University in Leicester was given a £850,000 make over by the company with the help of fabricator Insight Architectural.

The Gateway building was originally built in the late 1950's and was in desperate need of a makeover; Insight Architectural have manufactured and installed a range of SAS products including the high performance SCW curtain wall, which covers all seven stories of the building.

Sets of SD doors and strips of SPW300 windows envelop the building. The windows are thermally broken and double glazed and were specified to be casement and tilt and turn.

 

Products were powder coated white in a satin finish at SAS' impressive paint plant in Doncaster, with 444 units of windows and doors used in total.

Steve Wightman, sales and marketing director at Senior Aluminium Systems said: ‘This project is probably one of the biggest we have undertaken in terms of the sheer size of the order required to complete it. A building that is over 50 years old has been completely transformed and updated, bringing it right into the 21st century.’

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 Doncaster, Newport and Livingston.
