Profile 22 Windows deliver glazing solution for new build student accommodation

The vibrant, modern flats in Agard Court accommodate between four and six students and house 244 students in total.

Given the nature of student accommodation, and the shape of the building’s aesthetics, the Flush Tilt and Turn Window from Profile 22 was the best choice for optimum ventilation and maximisation of space.

The windows feature a neatly positioned sash inside the frame of the window to create an elegant and sleek ‘flush’ appearance that delivers the an impression of aluminium, especially when complemented with a RAL 7016 smooth foil finish on white, as it was on this project.

They have a maximum opening size of 1450 x 2300mm and offer exceptional performance because of its air permeability value of 600Pa, water tightness value of 600Pa and wind resistance value of 2400Pa. They are also Secured by Design accredited and meet PAS24:2016 standards for security.

Other key elements in the specification of the windows for Agard Court include the use of acoustic glazing on road elevations and the use of clear solar control glazing on south facing elevations.

Jonny Reynolds, Technical Director at Kingfisher Windows (a Profile 22 Approved Contractor), worked closely with the team at Clegg Construction and Profile 22 to ensure all calculations were provided and all requirements were met.

The combination of a busy city centre site and the Structural Steel Framing System (SFS) construction of the build could have caused difficulties for many window contractors, but Kingfisher proved more than able to cope.

The company’s team is experienced in working closely with other on-site teams to ensure installation runs smoothly and on schedule. As a result, installation was completed on time and on budget.
