This ‘home from home’ facility provides free to use amenities and accommodation, including 30 bedrooms and plenty of outdoor green space, for families of sick children from all over Scotland. More than 65 windows were manufactured by CMS using Metal Technology’s System 8 curtain walling system for the outerframes and their 4-20 thermally broken casement system for the opening vents. These large opening vents all feature parallel opening hinges to deliver much greater natural ventilation within individual rooms for a healthier internal environment. CMS also manufactured and installed over seven entrance doors created using the Metal Technology 5-20D system. Sheerframe flood doors have been independently accredited and Kitemarked to meet the specifications of PAS 1188-1 (Flood Protection Products Part 1: Building Aperture Products) for single and double doors. At the respected test centre at HR Wallingford, inward opening Sheerframe PVC-U doors recorded “no leakage” at 0.6 metre external submersion under static test over 48 hours. The doors also remained watertight under dynamic tests simulating waves and rapidly moving water. French doors are also approved with just 0.001 litres of ingress after 48 hours, which compares most favourably to the standard test pass leak rate of up to 1000 ml/m/hour. Sheerframe flood doors not only hold water out but, unlike the alternative of flood boards, they function easily and look like normal doors. In addition, they are fitted with specialist hardware to provide near impregnable watertightness and achieve PAS 24 levels of security.
