New Kratos Curtain Walling
Kratos thermally enhanced aluminium high rise Curtain Walling is the latest addition to a long line of pioneering new products from leading architectural aluminium experts, Blyweert Beaufort Aluminium.
Kratos augments the already extensive Blyweert Range of products for the high end specification market. Designed exclusively in the UK, Kratos Curtain Walling can incorporate any of the company’s Secured by Design windows and entrance doors, including the Krios security door, the first in the UK to achieve the much sought after, LPS 1175 Grade 2 certification. This creates an extensive market leading, high performance and fully integrated building envelope solution.
Designed to exceed all known current and future standards and regulations for thermal insulation, air permeability, wind resistance and water penetration, Kratos has already successfully completed a thorough testing programme to CWCT standards, resulting in full CWCT accreditation for weathertightness at the highest level. As Russell Yates, Technical Director at Blyweert Beaufort Aluminium explains; “The CWCT is the leading authority on commercial windows and curtain walling and carries significant kudos in architectural circles, ensuring our customers can demonstrate the system’s outstanding performance to specifiers and main contractors.”
Kratos signals the next phase of Blyweert Beaufort Aluminium’s strategy to provide the market with an innovative and pioneering approach to fully integrated products that combine design freedom, structural performance and practical fabrication benefits.
New Kratos Curtain Walling
Kratos is based around a range of innovative high strength mullion designs, providing a choice of installation methods including traditional stick build or semi-unitised construction. Drainage can be zonal or concealed within the mullions. A range of glazing panels from 6mm to 50mm thickness can be incorporated, enabling impressive thermal performance Uf of 1.3W/m2K with a standard 28mm glazing panel. Furthermore a Uf of 0.87W/m2K can be achieved with a 50mm glazing panel, without resorting to high insulation variations. External cappings are available in a range of styles and finishes providing design freedom to suit any building type and architectural aesthetic.
