London projects get a
future-proof system
»»Leading European
manufacturer of aluminium window, door
and façade systems, Hueck, has reported
an increase in demand from the high-end
market focused on superior weather tightness.
The trend is highlighted by a number of
recent projects supplied for by the company,
incorporating the Hueck Volato M profile
system for sliding and lifting-sliding windows
and doors.
As a project solution, Volato M can meet
the same stringent specifications expected
from curtain walls, in accordance with
the Centre for Window and Cladding
Technology’s standard for systemised building
envelopes.
Hueck’s Volato M door has successfully
passed the 600 Pascals water penetration
test pressure at 2001 to 2400 Pascals wind
pressure, while installed in an aluminium
façade. These standards, which correspond to
the CWCT methodology, enable specifiers
not to compromise on the performance of the
building envelope when integrating a door
system.
Volato’s ability to achieve these excellent
weather performances has seen it specified in a
number of London residential and mixed-use
developments. Giant facilities management
and construction services provider, Carillion,
was first to specify the high performance door
system initially for Berkeley Homes’ £400m
Battersea Power Station development, and,
more recently, within the £80m Tidal Basin
Road’s twin tower project.
The Volato M sliding system can
accommodate double and triple glazed units
from 22mm to 48mm, with glass loads of up
to 400 kg. Developed to integrate with all
other Hueck systems, the Volato M allows for
a wide variety of design options, providing a
highly versatile solution for any project.
