A C Yule has supplied a stunning new curtain walling system on the main entrance to Kinloss Primary School in Scotland.

The eye-catching entrance was created using a white PVC-U curtain walling system from Eurocell, fitted with a mix of red infill panels and bronzed glass units.

The dazzling colour scheme was selected to match the existing steel framed system, which had lost much of its lustre due to rusting, even though it had been regularly maintained.

Aberdeen-based A C Yule maintained the site lines throughout the refurbishment by replacing rotten timber windows in some of the classrooms, again using PVC-U profile systems from Eurocell.

The client specified low maintenance PVC-U, which the Building Research Establishment (BRE) has given a Reference Service Life (RSL) of at least 35-years, because it overcame the maintenance and longevity issues associated with the steel and timber frames.

Established in 1946, A C Yule has become one of the largest, and most respected, suppliers of glass, architectural and PVC-U window systems throughout Scotland and the North of England.

Refurbishment of the school was initiated by Moray Council who had become concerned with how the existing steel framed curtain walling system had deteriorated, along with the ongoing maintenance required on the timber windows fitted in the classrooms.

John Archibald, Manager at A C Yule Elgin, explains: “When we secure a project that requires PVC-U curtain walling we are always confident that the Eurocell system will meet the client’s expectations. Our fitters prefer using the system, too, as it is quick and easy to install on site.”

The curtain walling system from Eurocell is a fast and cost-effective way to create large glazed areas on any type of building. It has been used widely in many schools, hospitals, universities and offices as well as residential apartment blocks.

“We are delighted with our new entrance as it creates such a positive and welcoming impression with pupils and parents,” said Kathleen King, head teacher at Kinloss Primary School. “The classrooms are also much warmer since the new windows were fitted.”

The Eurocell curtain walling profile system is designed to be easy to fabricate and install, creating a rigid framework into which its window profiles can simply be clipped into place.
