CATCH SIGHT OF ‘22’ AT £24M HALLAM HALLS
» » PROFILE 22’S FLUSH TILT
& Turn Windows were chosen
for a £24 million project to
build new accommodation
for 735 students at Sheffield
Hallam University. The project
was undertaken by Profile 22’s
Approved Window Contractor
Polar Windows.
The client was Victoria Hall
Management Ltd (VHML),
a specialist UK developer and
operational manager of student
accommodation. The contract
was to build The Elements, an
11-storey building containing a
mix of 4, 5 and 6 bed cluster flats
plus self-contained flats, with
all bedrooms having an en suite
bathroom and sharing a kitchen
and dining area. As well as the
flats, the building contains a gym,
cinema room, quiet study area,
common room TV and pool table
and a private outdoor courtyard.
The Elements will be managed by
Host, the student facing brand of
VHML.
While aluminium windows
were specified for the building’s
street facing elevations in order
to meet planning requirements,
Profile 22’s high performance
Flush Tilt & Turn Windows
in Smooth Anthracite Grey
were specified for the internal
courtyard. Purposely designed
for medium and high-rise
buildings, the sash on the Flush
Tilt & Turn Window is neatly
positioned inside the frame of
the window to create an elegant
and sleek ‘flush’ appearance. Polar
Windows’ use of the Flush Tilt
& Turn Windows on the internal
courtyard elevations meant that
North Midland Construction was
able to value engineer the project
and deliver value back to the
client, Host.
As well as helping North
Midland Construction value
engineer the project, Profile
22’s Flush Tilt & Turn Window
delivered a wealth of other
benefits. It has a maximum
opening size of 1450 x 2300mm
and offers exceptional performance
because it has an air permeability
value of 600Pa, water tightness
value of 600Pa and wind resistance
value of 2400Pa. It is also Secured
by Design accredited and meets
PAS24:2016 standards for
security.
Throughout the project
Polar Windows worked closely
with Profile 22’s commercial
support team to provide CAD
drawings and additional technical
support.
The end result is an eye-catching
building that has regenerated a
neglected site in Sheffield and is a
powerful addition to the Sheffield
city landscape.
