Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems - Primary Care Centre, Enfield

Architects: Dransfield Owens de Silver
Fabricator: Magnum Aluminium Products Ltd
Main Contractor: Galliford Try Partnership
Project Value: £260,000
Systems Used: Comar 5, 6 and 7
Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems supplied aluminium profiles for the new extension to Enfield Primary Care Centre. Magnum Aluminium Products Ltd, a Comar Approved Fabricator, installed the futuristic glazed screens, entrances and windows.
The newly expanded Primary Care Centre is set in the heart of the Enfield community and brings together a variety of health and community care services on to a single site to provide a more convenient patient access. The transparency of the Care Centre façade makes the building look welcoming, accessible and complements the design concept of hospitability.
The three storey vibrant-looking façade features Comar 6 stick build curtain walling. On-site construction allowed accurate and precise assembly of this complex envelope. The façade consists of facetted elevations incorporating panes of toughened glass of different dimensions. The transoms and mullions feature an assortment of cover caps, bringing extra depth and dynamism to the atrium’s glazed skin.
The main entrance needed to comply with DDA regulations and was created with Comar 7 automatic sliding doors hung direct on to Comar 6. A separate emergency exit incorporates Comar 7 butt hung doors with Axim transom closers and crash bar panic exit device.
The stone-clad elevations of the Centre’s extension used Comar 5 thermally broken top hung windows. All systems were polyester powder coated to standard Grey RAL.
Magnum worked on the Care Centre project from the outset and advised the architects on the systems and wind loading. Time was a constraint and, due to close liaison throughout the design phase, the whole extensive installation of the fenestration took just over 2 months to complete.
