SAS Experiment Plays The Right Tune

A music and science block at a secondary school in Harrogate is now hitting all the right notes thanks to a £900,000 makeover from Senior Aluminium Systems (SAS).

SAS worked in partnership with fabricators Skipton Glass to create the right chemistry for the revamp at Granby High School on Ainstry Road, where all the curtain walling and windows were replaced.

The refurbishment project, undertaken over three years for North Yorkshire County Council, was a challenge for SAS whose brief was to create a modern, clean and thermally efficient building for pupils at the School.

Senior's SCW aluminium curtain wall with blue aluminium panels spans the height of the building and includes casement windows which meet the thermal requirements set out by Part L of the Building Regulations. Chosen for its superior durability and high performance qualities, SCW is a proven cost effective solution for low to mid-rise applications, in particular schools. SD doors, with the added benefit of anti trap finger detail, were also featured throughout.
