Quality and reliability at an extremely
competitive price persuaded Newport City Council to specify Schücos
new TTC 50 low-rise aluminium façade system for a refurbishment
project at Lliswerry High School in Gwent. It is the first
application of the TTC 50 system in the UK and was installed by
Schücos fabricator, White Brothers & Speed.
The contract, which also included the removal of asbestos cladding
and the replacement of fascias, involved replacing the
windows/curtain walling in the schools dining room.
Rob Mills, Newports Education Maintenance Officer, comments: I
have used Schüco systems on other jobs and Ive always been
impressed by their quality. The introduction of the TTC 50 system
means that even when budgets are tight, Schüco is easily affordable.
I also like the high-level openers, which are on a camstay: they
provide good ventilation without compromising security.
The Schüco TTC 50 system offers a slimline 50 mm face-width and a
typical frame 'U' value of 1.64 Wm2/K. It is able to accommodate
buildings up to three storeys in height, which makes it ideal for a
wide variety of local authority, healthcare and commercial projects.
