Aluminium Extra

Three-Year ‘ Commitment To Product Excellence ’

» SPECIALIST PVC-U AND ALUMINium fabricator Mercury has signed a three-year supply agreement with Epwin Window Systems to manufacture the Stellar Slimline Aluminium Bifold Door .
The Stellar Slimline Bifold Door has gained immense popularity for its exceptional design , outstanding performance and slimline aesthetics . Features include the slim meeting stile which , at just 117mm wide , creates an attractive slim sightline in the closed position .
Installation is straightforward due its pre-gasketed knock-in beads . And the unique patent-pending adjustable locking
stile allows ease of adjustment on site , eliminating the need for adjustable door jambs .
Katrina Earl , Sales Director at Epwin Window Systems , said : “ Mercury ’ s commitment to product excellence and extensive aluminium fabrication experience makes them an ideal partner to bring the Stellar Slimline Bifold Door to even more projects nationwide .”
The Stellar Slimline Bifold Door delivers excellent thermal efficiency , and it also exceeds the requirements of the 2022 Part L Building Regulations achieving a U-value of 1.3W / m ² K with standard 28mm double glazing and 0.9W / m ² K with 44mm triple glazing .

Can ‘ Successful Collaboration ’ Make It A Hat Trick ?

» THE SUCCESSFUL COLlaboration between AluK and Arkay Windows and Contractors on the £ 77m Canada Street mixed use development in
London ’ s docklands has just been rewarded with a nomination in the Commercial Project of the Year category at this year ’ s prestigious G23 Awards .
As well as the spectacular finished building with its 4600m 2 of glazing , the nomination recognises the way that AluK and Arkay worked together to overcome every challenge on the project – from the tight timescales to a lack of space on site .
Canada Street was the first large scale installation of AluK ’ s new thermally efficient , slim sightline C70S 70mm window system and demonstrated just how easily it can be integrated
into a design scheme alongside AluK ’ s residential doors , curtain walling and commercial entrance doors to achieve a uniform look and finish .
The G23 Awards take place on Friday 24 November at the Hilton , London Park Lane . AluK is hoping for a hat trick of wins , having been worthy winners for the past two years in the Customer Care Initiative of the Year category .

INTEGRATION FOR NEW & EXISTING FABRICATORS

» WHILE OTHER SOFTWARE SOLUtions have been developed based on PVC-U requirements , LogiKal is one of the few solutions developed and designed specifically for the aluminium industry .
By offering full compatibility , this is enabling more fabricators to add the Sheerline range to their product offering without altering their established workflows .
One of the biggest advantages of this upgrade is the fact LogiKal software uses a CAD-based system . This includes U-value calculations as well as wind-loading for their designs . There is also an option to send
designs directly to manufacturing equipment , including CNC machines , through automated links . This is an important feature as it reduces the likelihood of errors and saves time .
The company now offers its fabricators access to First Degree Systems ’ Window Designer , Business Micros ’ Evolution package , and now Business Micros ’ LogiKal . Sheerline opted for these software packages as the company wanted to ensure its customers could adopt the Sheerline product range using the solutions they are already familiar with . The company also recognises the fact that fabricators need agility , power , and flexibility .
