So don’t compromise - by workingwith Kawneer you can achieve a solution toyour most challenging architectural concept.
Total PerformanceHigh performance is an essential ingredient for all building components today – it is demanded by users and required by current building regulations. Throughout ourhistory we have kept ahead of both themarket and regulatory requirements to offerglazing solutions that surpass even the mostdemanding specifications, and our productsmeet or exceed all required standards ofthermal performance. We have developedleading-edge production techniques toensure that manufacturing efficiency isoptimised, and environmental impact isminimised, and our right-first-time qualitymanagement systems have been devised tominimise waste and exceed the requirementsof current ISO 9001 standards.
Why Aluminium?Kawneer has been producing advanced glazing solutions in this versatile material formany decades. Aluminium is a near-perfectmaterial for architectural glazing products, and has practical advantages over all otheravailable choices, including inherentresistance to corrosion and very low whole-life costs. Aluminium is also anenvironmentally friendly material and possiblyone of the best options for energy savingwithin the construction industry. In thebuilding sector vast amounts of aluminiumare collected for recycling, with rates as highas 92-98%, and more than 50% of the energyused in aluminium production comes fromhydro-electric schemes.

IntroductionThe Kawneer AA®600TE and AA®600TEPlus
Series has been designed to give specifiers atotally integrated system.
It has been developed to set new standardsin window and door systems through itsunrivalled flexibility of design and outstandingweather and thermal performance.
The Kawneer AA®600TE and AA®600TEPlus
Series is a high performance, totallyintegrated and fully co-ordinated window anddoor system. A polyamide thermal breakoffers dual colour and enhanced thermalperformance.
The range can suite with Kawneer’s curtainwalling and framing products and is suitablefor installation in low or high rise buildingsfor commercial and domestic new build orrefurbishment projects.
Aluminium framing construction incorporatesextruded polyamide thermal break profileswhich mechanically interlock with inner andouter aluminium extrusions in a bi-tubularconfiguration to produce fixed frames oropening frames to suit performance and costrequirements.
With the use of extruded gasket profiles, this system achieves its weather sealingperformance by means of drained andventilated rebates on a pressure equaliseddesign principle. The system has beendesigned with no visible gasket line to enhancethe overall appearance.
The window system has been exclusivelydesigned, developed and tested by KawneerUK using proven technology. Installationcontracts are carried out by fully trainedKawneer approved specialist contractors.

IntroductionThe Kawneer AA®601TE Parallel OpeningWindow is available as a stand alone windowsystem and as an insert into existing Kawneercurtain walling and framing systems allowingcomplete design freedom.
Based on the established Kawneer AA®601TEwindow system, the parallel opening designbenefits from the proven thermal performanceof the standard AA®601TE casement, achievingU-values of 1.5 W/m2K for a CEN sized windowwith warm edge spacer, while offeringexceptional levels of natural ventilation and airexchange.
Increased air flow around the full perimeter ofthe window facilitates highly efficient naturalventilation while greatly reducing draughts.Fresh air is drawn in via the bottom of thewindow while warm, stale air is expelled via thetop of the window creating full circulation of airwithin the room.
This efficient exchange of air can assist withApproved Document F compliance and canenable the AA®601TE Parallel Opening Windowto meet the ventilation requirements of eventhe most demanding project.
Operational SafetyThe Kawneer AA®601TE Parallel OpeningWindow operating forces have beenindependently tested with vent sizes up to amaximum of 1500mm wide x 2400mm highfalling within the 100N operating forcerequirement for manual operation. TheAA®601TE Parallel Opening Window can alsobe used with automatic operators for operatingforces greater than 100N or in places ofrestricted access.
Windows are restricted to 80mm clear openingas standard giving the confidence of safeoperation for all users while further enhancingthe security of the window.

Block B contrasts the arrangement of
Kawneer’s windows in block A by inserting
vertical strips into the façade to 500mm
modules. Various slot views are framed across
the water at once, depending on the
occupant’s position within a particular room.
Architect Neil Brown of Broadway Malyan
(now director of nb architects) said: “The
Kawneer systems complied very well
aesthetically and met all performance
requirements as detailed by the acoustics and
façade and M&E engineers.
“They created a very futuristic appearance in
accordance with the original design intent
and interface very well with the other
materials used on the project. The selection
of materials deliberately remained simple to
enhance and complement the purity of each
of the individual elements of the scheme.”
Case Study - Dock 9, Erie Basin
To help bring a futuristic appearance to the
£25 million development of one of the last
remaining sites at Manchester’s iconic Salford
Quays, Kawneer’s curtain walling, windows
and doors featured on the Millennium
Estates’ two mixed-use towers next to Erie
Basin at Dock 9.
The curtain walled rainscreen front of block A
of 10 storeys, which maintains a very
horizontal emphasis, projects over the
dockside walkway and cantilevers out akin to
a ship launching into water.
The 20 storeys of the predominately white
block B hover over a two-storey podium
structure that contains car parking for
residents and retail units fronting the
dockside walkway.
The two towers in total comprise more than
200 apartments including studios and one-to
three-bedroomed units as well as 6,000ft2 of
retail space.
Broadway Malyan Architects designed the
two concrete-framed residential towers to
contrast in nature and positioning so they
would have equal presence on the 0.46-
hectare site and as such, block A has been
cladded horizontally and block B vertically.
Block A’s apartments have been planned so
the living room always has a corner view
beyond the balcony towards the dock and
Lowry Centre. Each room type has a different
Kawneer window arrangement, all to a
500mm module.
