Products installed at

»»System 4-35Hi+ Parallel Opening
Vents (POV) windows are among a suite of
Metal Technology Products installed in Ronald
McDonald House, Glasgow.
Ronald McDonald House serves the Royal
Hospital for sick children in the city, providing
‘home from home’ accommodation enabling
families to stay close to their children. The
Keppie-designed project was a winner at the
2015 Glasgow Design Awards. The 1,940m2
scheme features three brick buildings connected
by glazed corridors and reflects the need for a
calm, secure and homely environment.
Part of Metal Technology’s THERMAL
range, the System 4-35Hi+ POV window

achieves high levels of thermal performance
by utilising specially designed polyamide
thermal break profiles, thermal gaskets and
foam profiles. The parallel opening vents
offer a unique feature that, when open, allows
air to penetrate around its entire perimeter,
facilitating highly efficient ventilation and
increasing air flow by almost double to that
from a standard top hung casement window.
This is achieved without compromising
security, creating a comfortable yet safe
environment.
Thermal performance was maintained
throughout the scheme with the use of
THERMAL System 5-20DHi+ doors, which

offer a wide range of options from standard
lever/ lever operation to single and double
panic gear and electric release. All have
achieved full PAS 24 security.
The buildings feature pod glazed openings
utilising not only System 4-35 POV’s
but System 8 low rise curtain walling,
highlighting how Metal Technology’s range
of products offer the designer engineered,
cost-effective solutions through design
flexibility whilst maintaining structural
integrity, weather performance and thermal
enhancement.
