transparency and strength

For designs that seek to achieve maximum visibility within a strong, secure and safe structure, there is no better combination than steel and glass. The inherent strength of steel enables the use of larger glass panes, increasing light transmission, enhancing aesthetics and comfort in modern building design.

Steel – strong and “light” Steel has an exceptional modulus of elasticity (210 kN/mm2) and resistance to deflection, making it ideal for large glazed areas of heavy glass, large span curtain walling and roof glazing or for high traffic doors and oversized windows.

Due to the capacity to accommodate large mullion centres, steel can meet the requirements of modern transparent architecture whilst providing resistance to high wind loads.

Minimal framework The inherent strength of steel allows for slim sightlines with curtain walling profiles. Mullion widths can be as slim as 45mm and unsupported spans in excess of 13m can be achieved without additional structural support. Dramatically increasing light transmission, ASD Spanlight is ideally suited to car showrooms, shopping centres, offices and transport interchanges.

Quality secure living space Another key benefit of using steel is its low thermal coefficient (50W/m2K) which enables U valueratings of 1.6 W/m2K or below for curtain walling systems. ASD Spanlight is also availableas a photovoltaic system, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of modern buildings.

ASD Spanlight also offers high acoustic performance and excellent weather rating according to EN standards. Buildings using slimmer mullion sections with exceptional structural Ix values gain additional benefits of increased floor space and exposure to natural daylight.

ASD Spanlight systems also create a safe and secure environment by protecting buildings and their inhabitants from fire and physical attacks.

Flooded with light The simplicity of combining glass panels with stainless steel fixing systems results in an engineered solution with minimal structure and maximum visual impact. Whether you are specifying bolted glazing systems for facades and roof glazing or frameless glass doors, the result is the creation of light and spacious interiors with impressive uninterrupted views.

Bolted glass systems from ASD Architectural are both strong and durable and offer considerable energy efficiency and acoustic properties.

Frameless chemistry of glass and stainless steel ASD Frameless systems are made out of stainless steel and offer versatility in design and construction options.

Maximum visibility can be achieved when constructing façades, shop fronts, sky lights or canopies, using bolted systems that complement the overall light and airy feel of the building and create a timeless design.

Frameless glass doors and screens portray a high quality modern image and can be creatively used in commercial and retail environments. This diversity allows specifiers to bring individuality to their design, through items such as pivoting bar doors, stylish sliding doors, automatic doors or large and high traffic passage glass doors.

Completing our range of frameless systems is ASD Elegance, an impressive glass balustrade and handrail system that includes features such as structural glass panels and a unique handrail that incorporates multi-coloured LED lights.

clear and seamlessthe ultimate in transparency

Achieving a seamless design to facades and door systems is made possible by the wide range of solutions within the ASD Frameless systems. Used in many retail applications as well as major office and showroom constructions, frameless solutions bring the outside in, creating stunning visual facades and uninterrupted exterior views.

With increasing global concern for the sustainability of our planet, it is essential that the construction industry plays its part in lowering its carbon footprint and providing specifiers with glazing solutions such as ASD Therm for optimal thermal performance. Steel is the perfect answer: it has inherently low conductivity, offers small heat mass and less framing joints, and is intrinsically 100% recyclable.

page : 8

natural light and comforta revolution in thermally efficient systems

Steel: a green material With low thermal conductivity, steel and stainless steel systems can achieve outstanding low U-values. ASD Therm systems will offer a U-value of 1.6 W/m2K for curtain walling and roof systems, whilst thermally broken windows and doors will perform with a U-value of 1.7 W/m2K. These U-values easily meet the requirements of Building Regulations Part L.

Stainless steel: the choice for beauty and sustainability Bright and light, stainless steel is the most prestigious of the steels and ensures top performance in terms of strength, aesthetics and recycling. Durable in nature and beautiful to behold, stainless steel allows façade structures and main entrances to be lightened, creating a contemporary feel.

Bronze and brass: the choice for elegance and tradition The warm, rich colour of bronze or brass is the ideal framing material for restoration of old buildings, blending perfectly with the original architecture, or used to embellish the design of high prestige buildings.

Cor-Ten: the choice for originality With a glorious history in industrial building, Cor-Ten steel provides an attractive, warm and authentic effect to windows and doors. As an unusual, original and rare material, the beauty of Cor-Ten is instantly recognisable, and has been used in an assortment of recent buildings and outdoor sculptures. Ten times more corrosion resistant than carbon steel, Cor-Ten can be used in critical weather conditions to offer the lowest life-cycle cost of any material.

Wooden DualComfort: the choice for warmth and exclusivity Our unique duplex framing system is an integrated system of profiles, fittings and gaskets for thermally broken windows and curtain walling that allows the use of both prestige metal and wood in one profile. Choose the warmth of wood on the inside coupled with the durable properties of metal on the outside to create a solution that is both aesthetically pleasing and energy-efficient.

Fire resistance Fire resistance is an important factor in all building constructions, helping to protect occupants and provide suitable escape routes in the event of a catastrophe. Steel is the ideal material for the construction of passive fire protection systems, maximising security, natural light and aesthetic appeal via slim sightlines.

Fire rated steel curtain walling and roof glazing are widely used in combination with steel glazed doors and partitions for means of escape, compartmentation or protection against external fire spread. The main markets are commercial, health, educationandtransportsectorsaswellassecondaryglazingprojects.

ASD Fire systems provide the largest library of fire tested products in Europe for doors, screens, facades and roof glazing – all tested to the most stringent European (EN1634) and British Standards (BS476 Part 22) for integrity only (up to E 180) or integrity and insulation (up to EI 120).

ASD fire systems include some unique applications such as double acting door for corridors, anti-finger-trap doors for schools and hospitals, sliding or automatic swingdoorsforDDArequirementsorbutt-jointpartitionsforuninterruptedview.

Security and attack resistance Intoday’schallengingglobalsecurityscenario,manybuildingsareclassifiedas vulnerable to terrorist or burglary attack and require sophisticated attack protection measures to be built into the building specification. Examples include airports, shopping malls, sports stadia, banks and high profile office buildings in both the private and government sectors.

ASD Security systems offer many solutions to meet the most challenging security situations, including bullet proof and bomb blast systems as well as burglary resistance (tested to Secured by Design, LPS1175 or ENV1627). All of these robust solutions out-perform alternative materials. With four times the tensile strength of standard material and high resistance to deflection, steel is regarded as the ultimate material for the construction of security doors, screens, windows and facades.

Noise protection ASD Acoustic systems can provide outstanding efficient noise reduction (up to 47dB) to increase the quality of life within a building. The systems are highly effective in reducing external noise such as road, rail or air traffic, as well as internal noise within multi-use buildings like music or theatre venues and schools.
