On a bustling industrial estate in Crosshills, West Yorkshire, a new development of factory units has been given a stylish finishing touch with a glazing package from Senior Aluminium Systems (SAS), one of the country's leading aluminium system suppliers.

Fabricated by Aire Valley Architectural Ltd, a series of SPW 600 windows and manual swing doors were used in the design of 'The Crossings'. Specified to be tilt turn, the thermally broken windows were double glazed and powder coated in green.

SAS' SPW 600 is a high performance commercial window and door system designed to meet the thermal insulation demands specified in Part L. The range includes fixed lights, top hung, side hung, tilt turn and overswing windows, as well as single and double rebated doors. A range of mullions and transoms allows large composite windows to be fabricated.

SAS aluminium glazing systems were chosen because they offer a high level of specifier flexibility and cost effectiveness. Aluminium is strong, light, doesn't corrode, requires little maintenance, keeps its appearance over time and is 100% recyclable.
