Sheerframe for schools, offices and hospitals

Increasingly, schools, hospitals and other public buildings are seeking to reduce maintenance and running costs by installing minimal maintenance, thermally efficient window solutions. Whether it’s a refurbishment of a Victorian school building requiring replacement PVC vertically sliding sash windows or the development of a brand new school or college featuring curtain walling, Sheerframe from L.B. Plastics provides sustainable solutions.

"Building Schools for the Future" (BSF) is the biggest single government investment in improving school buildings for over 50 years with the aim to rebuild or renew every secondary school in England over a 10-15 year period.

The BSF report identifies the following key issues in school design:

• functionality
• sustainability
• buildability
• efficiency
• aesthetics
• durability

Sheerframe windows and curtain or ribbon walling systems, comprising a structural aluminium grid system and Sheerframe PVC windows, are widely used in school buildings because they fulfil the requirements of the BSF, whilst achieving significant cost savings and thermal efficiency.

With the backing of L.B. Plastics' technical support team, windowmakers and curtain walling contractors can provide wind-loading and structural strength data for large scale and exposed installations.
