Senior brings light and shade to new hotel scheme

Dual coloured and slim framed aluminium fenestration solutions from Senior Architectural Systems have helped bring architectural interest to the external façade of a new multi-storey hotel in Coventry whilst ensuing the interior spaces benefit from plenty of natural light.

Constructed by main contractor Bowmer and Kirkland, Hotel Indigo Coventry has been designed by architects Chapman Taylor and boasts a striking exterior which features Senior’s popular SF52 aluminium curtain wall system and SPW600 aluminium windows throughout. The leading manufacturer’s SPW501 aluminium commercial entrance doors were also specified, with the full glazing package fabricated and installed by specialist contractor Acorn Aluminium.

Powder coating service

Senior’s in-house powder coating service was instrumental to achieving the desired aesthetic for the hotel’s exterior façade which required the aluminium fenestration systems to complement the use of striking silver-blue metallic cladding. Opting for a dual colour finish, Senior’s aluminium fenestration systems were powder-coated in anthracite grey on the exterior and grey-blue to the interior of the frames.

The SF52 curtain walling has been installed in columns that run the length of the building, with the metallic cladding installed in between. The darker colour of the aluminium curtain wall and inset windows add depth the building, with the recessed columns of glazing complementing the lighter shade of the façade material.

In addition to design flexibility, the slim frames of Senior’s SF52 curtain wall system and SPW600 aluminium windows have helped to create a comfortable interior environment by maximising the flow of natural daylight and providing exceptional thermal-efficiency to achieve the desired U-values.
