Deceuninck Aluminium has launched the Decalu F50 curtain walling system, an ultra energy efficient offer that is said to be optimised for light commercial applications.

Suitable for applications of up to 18m high and with 50mm equal sightlines, it achieves U-values as low as 0.78 W/m²K.

Nigel Headford, director at Deceuninck Aluminium, said: “The F50 is a dedicated light commercial application and because of that, it does what it does, very well.

“So, you get get a massive amount of design flexibility because it’s so highly engineered with very high inertia values for low cross-sectional areas, which means you can achieve larger glass divisions without reinforcement.

“It also uses smaller profiles, while still achieving the same spans as competitor systems. That maximises the footprint of the building adding value on projects.”

Suitable for office, retail and other public buildings, the Decalu F50 façade system is also fully compatible with a range of vents and brise soleil systems and fully integrated with its window and door systems.

This features reversible and tilt-and-turn options, in addition to a standard casement, including the ultra-energy efficient Decalu101 Scand, which offers U-values as low as 0.89W/m²k plus the fully PAS24 tested Decalu88 bi-folding door; Decalu163 lift-and-slide.

“To date we’ve only pushed our retail offer but our product ranges deliver substantial advantages in commercial and specification sectors too,” continued Nigel. “This includes our reversible and tilt-and-turn, window ranges, which deliver key advantages.

“We have new products planned for early next year, which have been designed and developed here in the UK with our customers and technical team and will further build on that, giving us a comprehensive offer across retail and commercial sectors.”
