Senior Architectural Systems’ Pure aluminium windows and doors have been widely used across the new Perry Barr residential development in Birmingham, said to be one of the city’s largest ever housing and regeneration projects. 

Senior’s low U-value Pure systems were specified for three of the four plots that comprise the first phase of the development that is located on the site of the former Birmingham City University (BCU) Teaching Campus.

Plot 7 is the largest of the first phase of developments, with six new buildings in total, ranging from five to 15 storeys with Pure aluminium windows and doors specified throughout.

Pure tilt and turn windows and Pure Slide patio doors were also installed to the 430 individual apartments that have been constructed by Willmott Dixon across the four and six storey buildings known as plots 8 and 9.

Senior’s unique Pure aluminium system features a highly-efficient expanded polyurethane (PUR) thermal barrier. The company was recently recognised with a King’s Award for Enterprise for the successful development of the system and its commitment to innovation.

The Pure window system can achieve U-values as low as 0.71W/m2K when calculated as a commercial CEN Standard window to comfortably meet the latest targets set out by Part L of the Building Regulations.

The Pure system also offers ‘cradle to cradle’ recyclability, with even the PUR thermal barrier able to be reused with no requirement for landfill.
