Senior Architectural Systems, the UK’s largest privately owned aluminium fenestration solutions manufacturer, has supplied the fenestration package for use on the tallest residential building in Bristol.
At 26 storeys high, the residential tower block forms part of the wider Castle Park View scheme, which is the largest Urban Green Space in the city. The development also features a main block and a 10-storey tower, creating in total 375 new one and two bedroom apartments. Senior has supplied its slimline SF52 aluminium curtain wall system and patented low U-value PURe® aluminium windows and doors for use across the scheme, working alongside specialist installers Denval, architects Chapman Taylor, contractors Bouygues UK.
Created following the extensive regeneration of a brownfield area and built on the former site of an ambulance station, sustainability is a key part of the design of the Castle Park View and the residential scheme has achieved a level four standard in the Code for Sustainable Homes certification.
Both Senior’s thermally-efficient SF52 aluminium curtain wall system and Part L compliant PURe® aluminium windows and doors are highly durable and fully recyclable, making them the ideal choice for a modern development that is also striving to help reduce the energy bills of its residents. The thermal performance of the aluminium fenestration system complements the other sustainable features including the use of the UK’s largest water source heat pump, the nearby Castle Park Energy Centre, as the development’s main heat source.
