Top Marks at School
15 May 2005





Beaufort's high performing aluminium systems take them to the top of the class in Camden. Beaufort aluminium windows and doors were chosen for a new teaching block at Camden School for Girls in North West London.

The £60,000 contract was awarded to Mulalley & Company, a specialist supplier of construction services to the public and commercial sectors.

Beaufort worked closely with their fabricator to deliver a 'best value' solution. The fabricator, explains, "Beaufort provided excellent back-up in terms of technical specification and design and helped to ensure the job went smoothly from start to finish"

The new 1600 sq m extension at Camden School for Girls provides workshops, classrooms and modern assembly hall. The building has been designed to an exacting specification and includes the latest air conditioning and under-floor heating systems. Beaufort aluminium profiles satisfied the project's high aesthetic and performance standards, combining a slimline appearance with excellent durability and thermal efficiency.

A mix of top hung casement & tilt and turn windows in a brilliant white finish were specified from Beaufort's 70mm deep direct fix range. Temple fabricated and installed a total of 78 windows and screens plus 10 low threshold doors using the same system. All Beaufort profiles have a polyester powder coating applied to BS 6496, for a tough, low maintenance finish that is guaranteed pollution-resistant and requires only occasional cleaning.

The windows in the new school extension are externally glazed and feature a slimline transom plus shootbolt locking for optimum security. In addition, a combination of toughened laminated glazing and some solar control anti-glare ensures full compliance with current building regulations plus a comfortable working environment for pupils and staff.
