Kawneer AA®4001 Framing System
The AA®4001 Framing system, designed in line with the DfE's 'Building schools for the Future' is compliant with Document L and Part J, acoustics BB93 and a concealed vent provides optimum safety and airflow, complying with Environmentally friendly classrooms BB95. This robust system, designed for endurance is ideal for all refurbishment projects, including hospitals, health centres and also those in the 'Building Schools for the Future' initiative.
Designed with aesthetics in mind, the AA®4001 allows for flexibility in design, with snap on glazing beads accommodating various infill panels such as terracotta, wood, brick or even stone. As well as traditional stick build and semi unitising, the system offers the advantage of fully unitised assembly which gives the distinct advantage of factory fabrication, ensuring additional quality control and rapid on-site installation, which also enables the system to meet the demands of fast track work schedules and restricted working conditions.
