IntroductionKawneer is one of the UK’s leading architecturalaluminium glazing systems manufacturers. Wehave a long track record of successful projectdelivery, providing best value and best practicesolutions.

Our commitment to developing a SlidingSolutions Range to enhance our product offer issupported by our significant investment in productdevelopment. This has been further enhancedby the recent introduction of the AA®3572Lift/Slide and AA®3720 Folding/Sliding Doorsolutions.

SustainabilityAt Kawneer, we take all our responsibilities veryseriously. We’re dedicated to creating productsand systems that promote integrated, whole-building design practices.

For our own production, we use recycledaluminium billets 100% of the time and allproduction waste is recycled. Our extrusions carrya life expectancy of 50 years, significantly higherthan other materials - and of course, they’re100% recyclable.

Aluminium is widely recognised as one of the bestmaterials available for construction. Aside fromits practical and energy-saving advantages, it canbe recycled repeatedly without loss of propertiesusing just 5% of the energy originally used tomine, smelt and produce it. Aluminium’s naturalstrength, lightness and durability makes it theideal material for meeting architectural glazingrequirements.

We're committed to creating products that helpcomply with BREEAM standards and promoteintegrated, whole building designs; and with 95%of aluminium in buildings being recycled,architects can design with cradle to cradlelifecycles in mind, helping to achieve greenbuilding standards.
