PURe and
simple
Senior Architectural Systems is proving
to be the clear and cost-effective
choice for improving a project’s
carbon dioxide (CO2) calculations.
The new patent-pending
PURe window range is the
first in the UK to benefit
from an enhanced thermal
barrier manufactured from
expanded polyurethane
foam (PUR).
Traditionally used in cladding and insulation products,
the innovative use of PUR as a
thermal barrier in windows gives
the PURe system the potential to
achieve U-values as low as 0.71w/
m2k when calculated as a commercial CEN standard window.
By far exceeding the requirements of Part L of the Building
Regulations and providing a
significant reduction from the
typical U-values of 1.75-1.9w/
m2k achieved by Senior’s standard SPW600 aluminium window
system, the enhanced thermal
performance of the PURe range
can significantly improve a project’s carbon footprint.
As well as helping to cut the
operational carbon emissions
by making the building easier
and more cost-effective to heat,
the unique construction of the
PURe system can also contribute
to reducing the calculations of
embodied carbon which looks at
the energy used in the manufacture, transportation, assembly and
deconstruction of construction
materials.
The specification of PURe to
achieve a reduction in the overall
carbon footprint of a building can
also save money as well as energy

Keeling-Heane explains: “Although calculations vary on dif-

projects and a life expectancy in
excess of 40 years, Senior’s most
recent product innovation has
also been designed to meet the
PassivHaus standard cycle.
ferent projects, the positive feedback we are getting from main
contractors is that the fantastic
U-values that can be achieved
through the use of the new PURe
system can help reduce CO2 calculations by up to 3%.”
