SENIOR OPENS THE DOOR( AND WINDOW) TO GREATER TRANSPARENCY WITH NEW EPD RELEASES
Senior Architectural Systems has expanded its suite of independently verified Environmental Product Declarations( EPDs) to give architects and contractors even greater confidence and clarity when assessing the environmental impact of some of the manufacturer’ s most popular fenestration systems.
Following the publication of the EPD for its SF52 mullion drained curtain wall, Senior has now released new declarations for its PURe ® Commercial Door, PURe ® Casement and PURe ® Tilt & Turn aluminium windows, plus the zone drained version of its SF52 curtain wall system.
Senior has been keen to challenge the traditional format of EPDs, and specifically those for aluminium fenestration systems, which has been underpinned by the company’ s pledge to customers that‘ what you see is what you spec’.
The new publications continue Senior’ s commitment to providing transparent, specification ready data that reflects the true performance of the fenestration systems being designed into a project and each new EPD follows the same methodology that set the SF52
mullion drained curtain wall EPD apart. By removing insulated glass units from the calculations, the data focuses solely on the aluminium system itself. This prevents artificially low carbon figures and gives a more accurate representation of the product’ s impact per square metre.

COMMUNITY HUB BENEFITS FROM TORMAX ENERGY-SAVING AUTOMATIC DOOR
Recently redeveloped, the Sutton Life Centre in South London is a vibrant community and education hub, offering a mix of learning, leisure and civic facilities. TORMAX worked with façade specialist Sealtite Windows and main contractor Thomas Sinden to deliver a new automatic entrance solution.
Powered by iMotion drives, two sets of bi-parting sliding doors create a thermally efficient lobby. The outer doors feature the TORMAX LR32 Secure + Therm profile, a compact system with circumferential seals designed to minimise heat loss by reducing air exchange. The Centre includes immersive educational spaces, a library, café, climbing wall, sports pitch and flexible meeting rooms. With high daily footfall from schools and community groups, reliable and inclusive access was essential.
At the core of the system, iMotion drive technology uses lowwear, brushless motors with intelligent control for smooth, near-silent operation and reduced maintenance. The result is a secure, energy-efficient entrance that supports long-term performance in a busy public building while aligning with the Centre’ s sustainability goals.
