Our Thoughts On This Project

Strategically located on two major highways, The Polygon Westown Business Park conceptual design is made by Wilkinson Eyre, a leading UK-based architecture firm that is a back-to-back winner of the UK’s prestigious Stirling Prize for architecture.

It consists of nine (9) uniquely designed class “A” office buildings connected from the top by large steel canopies covered by aluminum composite cladding material.

AluNile’s scope of work included providing structurally glazed curtainwalls, conventional curtainwalls, canopies, and louvers. In addition to various operable windows and doors systems.

Curtain Walling

SG50

The SG50 Curtain Walling System is a structurally-glazed solution designed to offer high performance.

DESIGN FEATURES

Uses same grid of mullions and transoms as the SL50.
Curtain walls with structurally bonded opening elements with ""structural"" (all-glass) aesthetics.
Can be used in a full structurally glazed solution or combined with an expressed outer cover in either vertical or horizontal planes.
21 mm visible gap between panels.
Glass installation is achieved by a stainless steel toggle which is fixed on the structure and guarantees mechanical retains.

OPTIONS

Peripheral and finishing profiles.
All surface finishes available.
Customised finishes upon request.

APPLICATION TYPE

Ideal for commercial and industrial sector application incl. offices, hospitals and schools.

SIZE LIMITS

Max glass thickness (mm) - 35
Maximum sash load (kg) - 690

FEATURES

Frame options - 50
Multi-point locking

Our aluminum curtain walls enable specifiers to create impressive facades that not only enhance the aesthetics of a building but also provide the functionality and performance required to meet and exceed current standards.

Curtain Walling

SL60

The SL60 system, with millions and transoms with a width of 60 mm is designed to create vertical curtain walls.

DESIGN FEATURES

Mullions and transoms with external mechanical retain and cover.
Frontal dimension of 60 mm.

OPTIONS

Integration with sub-structures (wood, steel).
High Insulation (optional) offering enhanced thermal insulation down to Ucw = 1,1 W/m²K.
Peripheral and finishing profiles.
All surface finishing available.
Customisable upon request.

APPLICATION TYPE

Ideal for commercial and industrial sector application incl. offices, hospitals and schools.

Sloping facades, roofs, domes, tunnels and polygonal constructions, The system includes a range of profiles for the construction of the supporting structure with static characteristics suitable for the most stringent design requirements.

Windows And Doors

53CO

The 53CO is a non-insulated flush door with inward and outward opening.

DESIGN FEATURES

Tight seal with double rebate gaskets along the perimeter.
Frame and sash : 53 mm.
Traditional shape.
Flus door, both inward and outward opening.
Squared, smoothed or rounded glazing bead.
Glazing thickness : 4 to 30 mm.

OPTIONS

Security glazing beads for greater burglary resistance.
Full range of colors available.
1 and 2 sashes.
Outward/inward openings.
Swing doors, fixed panels, overlight, bottom hung, storefronts.

APPLICATION TYPE

Residential and commercial sector applications, like apartments, villas, hotels, stores, etc.

The Frame and sash are 53 mm deep, This series has been designed to offer top-quality door sets with complete machining and fittings (sill profiles, plugs). The 53CO is compatible with simple or safety “multipoint” door locks to improve burglary resistance.

Shutters And Louver

FRS

The FRS solar protection system has been designed to create sunshades manufactured from aluminum profiles.

DESIGN FEATURES

Reduces the heat load on the building by intercepting sun rays before they reach the glazed surfaces.
Solar radiation adsorbed by the shading is dissipated out of the facade.
Efficiency up to 30% vs. other internal system, by effect of natural ventilation.

OPTIONS

Available both in fixed and motorised, revolving options.
Photovoltaic panels.
All surface finishing available, customisable on request.
Fixed horizontal sunshade with adjustable angle support, for blades up to 250mm.
Fixed horizontal sunshade applied on vertical structure, suitable for the entire range and for blade inclination of 0, 15, 30 or 45°.
Fixed horizontal sunshade applied on back vertical support, for blade from 250 to 360mm.
Revolving horizontal sunshade with drive gear, angle 0-90°, suitable for south oriented facade.
Revolving vertical sunshade with drive gear, angle 0-90°, suitable for east-west oriented facade.
Revolving vertical sunshade with drive gear, angle 45-0° and 0-45° allows east-west orientation and could be used on south oriented facade.

APPLICATION TYPE

Typically used for horizontal and vertical sunshade.

SOLUTIONS

Fix lamella.
Adjustable lamella.

The range is composed of five sections of aluminium extruded profiles with dimensions of 150, 200, 250, 310 and 360 mm, and a complete range for the realization of fixed and adjustable
sunshade solutions. Typically used for horizontal and vertical sunshade, both in fixed and motorized option and with the option for integrated photovoltaic panels.
The utilization of this high-tech system applied on curtain walls increases the comfort, allows energy savings in air-conditioning and the production of electric energy.
