College refurb

Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems, and its approved fabricator Alimatic, have recently completed a full refurbishment project to provide a whole new building envelope to Collingwood College, Camberley, Surrey.

The design brief was for the facade to be modern, clean and contemporary while complementing the school colour.

For the sleek modern facade, Comar 6 curtain walling was specified. Comar 6 curtain walling is a versatile thermally efficient system designed to integrate panels and glass of different widths into the facade with special profiles to include opening vents and doors. The design of Comar 6 makes it ideal for complex facetted curtain walls as well as sheer glazed facades. Comar 6 offers a slim 50mm sight line with a multitude of transoms and mullions to cater for all deflection loads and grid centres.

For the opening vents, Comar 5P.i. thermally efficient polyamide insulated aluminium windows were installed offering outstanding weather performance and low U-values. Comar 5P.i is a 60mm window system that reduces heat loss through the trademark P.i thermal break ensuring low U-values, so energy bills are minimised. Comar 5P.i is available in a variety of configurations and can be manufactured into casement, tilt and turn, pivot, top swing and sliding windows. The windows installed at the College were top hung/fixed light composites.

Comar 7 commercial swing doors were fitted with anti-finger trap stiles, Axim soft touch panic exit device and Axim concealed transom closers which were hung directly from the Comar 6 frame. All aluminium systems were finished in Hipca White RAL 9910 (semi gloss) polyester powder coat.
