Supply contract awarded

Bowater Building Products has been awarded a supply contract for its System10 Aluminium products by the LHC (formerly the London Housing Consortium) under the recent Aluminium Windows and Doors (A5) ‘framework agreement’ round.

The A5 framework agreement – now in place until 2015 – is suitable for low, medium and high rise housing schemes, schools and all other types of public sector buildings across England and Wales.

LHC is a not-for-profit consortium set up to provide effective procurement solutions for local authorities, housing associations and other public sector bodies. An LHC framework arrangement is an EU-compliant agreement set up with suppliers for the purpose of establishing the terms governing contracts to be awarded during a given period with regards to quality, quantity and price. Choosing LHC framework arrangements will, in most cases, help public sector bodies make significant time and cost savings.

System10 Aluminium is a, quality-engineered system that, for all exterior and aesthetic purposes, resembles an aluminium window in terms of the associated sightlines, performance and finishes, yet it exceeds the installation and maintenance criteria of ‘traditional’ products and delivers energy efficiency benefits way beyond those previously experienced.

System10 Aluminium 0.7 W/m2K options will meet Code Level 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, and comprise a 4-12-4-12-4 36mm triple-glazed unit (90% Krypton, Swisspacer V, polyurethane secondary seal), steel reinforcement designed for improved thermal performance, foam-filled chambers plus foam-filled thermal inserts.
