Senior’s PURe® and simple solution for improving carbon calculations

By offering some of the lowest U-values available to the UK market, a new energy efficient aluminium window system from leading fenestration designer and manufacturer 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, the enhanced thermal performance and competitive price of the PURe® range can also significantly improve a project’s carbon footprint without increasing costs.

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. Not only is PURe® manufactured from aluminium, which offers ‘cradle to cradle’ recycling, but the PUR thermal barrier can be re-used as fillers for other products.

Both double and triple glazing options, up to 50mm to maximise thermal and acoustic performance, are catered for, with the additional support of specification via Senior’s dedicated glazing division Senior Glass Systems being available. The PURe® range is easy to manufacture using existing tools to provide the simplest yet most effective solution to the specification of thermal-efficient windows across the sectors, from education to healthcare, commercial to domestic, refurbishment and new build projects.
