The AA120 Sunshades system allows passive
solar control for the faade of the building and
can be connected to the faade either
horizontally or vertically.
Kawneer PF Curtain Wall
The Kawneer PF System is a mullion drained
modular curtain wall system, which has been
designed so that when viewed externally, the
opening vents and the fixed lights have the
same visual appearance. The PF is a modular
system with factory glazed panellised frames

All this makes the PF System an attractive and
practical option for many curtain walling
requirements.
Kawneer AA201 Unitised Curtain Wall
Our modular faade solution, AA201 Unitised
Curtain Wall, is a highly innovative concept that
has already been proven on a number of
projects in the UK and Ireland. Unitised curtain
walling is modular the individual units or panels
are assembled off site in factory controlled
conditions and then transported to site and
craned onto the building. This dramatically
reduces time on site, and thus the building can
be enclosed rapidly allowing hand-over to
following trades to take place much sooner.

PF Curtain Wall
IntroductionThe PF System is a mullion drained modular
curtain wall system, which has been designed
so that, when viewed externally, the opening
vents and the fixed lights have the same visual
appearance.
The system consists of panellised frames that
are attached, as either fixed lights, opening
lights or panel areas, to the curtain wall grids.
Each glazed panel has a visible face of 28mm
in width which in combination with a 14mm
recess between the panels, gives an overall
sightline of 70mm. Alternatively, a structurally
glazed version of the system is available,
giving the facade an all glass appearance
when viewed from the outside, with only a
14mm recessed gap between each pane.
This thermally insulated system offers manypossibilities, with a wide selection of mullions
and transoms to suit most practical
requirements.
All this makes the PF System an attractive and
practical option for many curtain walling
requirements.

IntroductionTodays fast paced construction schedules demand
high performance, fast installation, simplified
fabrication, superior performance and design
flexibility. The AA201 offers exactly that.
It offers the advantage of unitised assembly giving
the building team a unique set of benefits. These
include factory fabrication to ensure additional quality
control, rapid on site installation with slimline design
and flexibility. Unitised construction enables it to
meet the demands of fast track work schedules
and restricted working conditions. Weathering is
achieved by zone drained pressure equalisation.
The glazing provides a positive weather seal for high
performance. The system also features the
exclusive, high performance IsoPort thermal break.
The AA
201 unitised system gives the specifier awide choice of styles to create individual and
exciting building facades. The AA201 can
accommodate spandrel infill materials including
glass, granite and metal panels. It offers two sided

Sir Rocco Fortes prestigious Lowry Hotel
in Salford, Manchester, was the first UK project
to feature the Kawneer Unitised Curtain
Wall System. The hotel forms a key element
in the Salford regeneration corridor, linking
Manchester city centre with the centre of
neighbouring Salford. Designed by ConsarcConsulting Architects, the 30m scheme
is located in Chapel Wharf, a brownfield
regeneration zone on the Salford banks of the
river Irwell facing Manchester city centre.
The architects desire to create a highly glazed
yet expressive design led them to incorporate
some 3,100 square metres of curtain walling
for the hotels 164 bedrooms on the north,
south and east elevations. The curtain wall
design posed a number of important visual and
performance challenges. Externally the vision
for the glazed walling was to provide a smooth,
plane-like aesthetic with a horizontal emphasis,
in order to reduce the apparent scale of the
building in relation to the piazza. Internally the
system needed to be highly transparent in
order to maximise views over the city, but also
retain a degree of privacy for the hotels guests
and minimise any possible feelings of vertigo
associated with large areas of exposed, floor-
to-ceiling glass at heights. In addition the wall
had to accommodate the projects tight
construction program just 12 weeks for
installation and be of the quality befitting
Manches ters first five-sta r hotel. To this
end, the team specified the Kawneer
Unitised Curtain Wall a high performance
prefabricated glazing system.
One of the principal factors affecting the form
of the building was a planning requirement
stipulating that the scheme should respond to
the riverside piazza created by Trinity Bridge.
As a result the hotels triangular plan adopts a
dramatic 42 metre radius curve along its south
faade. The elevation was conceived with
that of the adjacent 12 storey residential
development (also designed by Consarc) as
forming a pair of sentinels at the gateway to
Salford. The glazed faades form a dramatic,curtain-like back-drop to the piazza and a
clearly designed vista along the regeneration
corridor to Salford.
Following a two-stage selection process CAP
Aluminium Systems were appointed as the
successful subcontractor with Kawneer
supplying the Unitised Curtain Wall system.
The Kawneer system was favoured by Consarc
for a number of reasons.
Firstly it offered significant time-savings
over conventional non-unitised systems.
The projects tight construction programme
required each part of the building to occur
simultaneously. The prefabrication of major
design elements ensured that manufacture
could take place off-site while the main
structure was formed. Unlike conventional
in situ curtain wall systems, the Unitised
Curtain Wall is factory assembled and, arriving
on site in large integrated units which can bequickly erected.
Secondly the system does not require
scaffolding. The units are craned or winched
into position and secured from inside the
building. As well as reducing costs, it is argued
that this results in safer working conditions.
The use of a prefabricated system also offered
the requisite quality assurances associated with
factory controlled conditions. Last but not least,
the Kawneer system was able to meet the
aesthetic demands placed on the wall design.
From the outset Kawneer and CAP worked
closely with the architect in adapting the
system to meet the specific needs of the
Unitised Curtain Wall Case Study

project, undertaking design development, the
production of shop drawings, fabrication and
installation.
The curtain walling itself comprises a system
of primary and secondary mullion and transom
sections, which are fully integrated with double-glazed window units. In terms of fabrication
and installation, each wall unit comprises three
glazed panels (two located below slab level and
one above), which are factory assembled and
fully integrated with the corresponding mullion
and transom sections. On site, the panels are
craned into position and slotted on to steel
angles which are fitted back to Halfen channels
cast into the concrete slabs. Bolted to each
angle is a steel anchor lug. This receives an
anchor attachment plate which is connected
to the inside of the primary mullion sections.The bolt connection between the lug and plate
is designed to accommodate vertical
tolerances in the concrete structure of
approximately plus or minus 12mm. The
panels were fixed from inside the building, with
CAP working along each faade installing one
floor at a time. At the top and bottom of each
wall the units are neatly terminated with post-
fixed aluminium composite panels, which
connect back to the main line of the faades.
The Lowry Hotel demonstrates theeffectiveness of off-site construction. The
Kawneer Unitised Curtain Wall not only
facilitated an impressively rapid installation
period, enabling the building to be completed
on time and within budget; it also met the
demanding performance criteria stipulated by
the project team and fulfi l led the aesthetic
objectives of the design.
