By its very nature, aluminium has an extremely high strength to weight ratio. This means that there is less aluminium needed to withstand copious amounts of glazing in comparison to alternative window materials. Contemporary style is successfully maintained, with less bulky frames and more generous glass surface areas.
At Lee Kelly, we have conducted numerous commercial installations. From shop fronts, warehouses, converted mills, office blocks, schools, and hospitals. On many of our commercial installations we have used a mixture of uPVC and aluminium frames. The reason for this is uPVC is more cost effective. Many of our installations we install uPVC windows where this can have a considerable cost saving to aluminium windows. We always recommend aluminium doors. The reason for this is commercial doors get a lot more usage that domestic doors. Aluminium doors are more robust and have more longevity than traditional uPVC doors. We have also installed many automated aluminium entrance doors. Many of our shop front installations have uPVC windows connected to aluminium doors.
While high water and air resistance is a standard benefit with most aluminium windows and doors, additional corrosion resistant qualities make them incredibly minimal maintenance with a long lifespan. Unlike other materials, swelling, cracking, and rotting is simply not possible.
Huge glazed areas can be constructed using our aluminium curtain wall systems and they are heavily resistant to all forms of weathering and erosion. This means that the curtain wall can last an exceptionally long time without the need for repair and maintenance. As it is made up of a lightweight but superior quality material, it does not need much support and does not even put pressure on the building wall. It is paired with glass to give a huge illuminating effect inside the building.
The design and construction of our aluminium commercial doors meet the requirements of any high traffic building. They meet Disability and Equalities Act requirements, and the anti-finger trap hinge system is perfect for schools, hospitals, and other public buildings, where safety is required, and the benefits of such doors cannot be stressed enough. These doors have the facility to open in, out or both ways.
Our automatic sliding door systems are suitable for a wide range of entrance types, such as offices, residential buildings, retail environments and NHS buildings. Safety features on the doors ensure easy access to those who may have difficulties with mobility or are disabled.
