HIGH DEMAND: SYSTEM 17-65
Total Fabricator hears about Metal Technology’s product portfolio including its new
System 17-65 offering, and takes a look at some of the projects its range of systems have
been used on in different sectors...
The company: Since 1985, Metal
Technology has been defining spaces
through its architectural glazing solutions
and has grown to become one of the UK and
Ireland’s leading designers and suppliers of
bespoke aluminium window, door, curtain wall
and solar shading systems for commercial and
residential applications.
Committed to excellence in all aspects of
sustainable product design, customer service
and technical support, the company has become
a trusted partner of fabricators, developers,
contractors and architects.
Product range: Metal Technology’s product
portfolio encompasses over 30 window, door,
curtain walling, brise soleil and louvre systems. Its
Thermally Enhanced (Hi+) portfolio
offers the designer a wide and
diverse choice of profiles that
provide structural integrity,
weather performance,
thermal enhancement and
security. The company has
just launched a new 65mm
capped curtain walling product,
System 17-65, which has been
designed specifically to accommodate greater floor
slab deflection and glass movement in high-rise or
multi-storey applications.
Technical support: Metal Technology offers a
comprehensive design and specification service
to architects, developers and main contractors
through a team of architectural advisors. Tailored
specifications can be provided online with NBS
standards, supported with CAD details and
performance data, as well as BIM family models for
integration into construction drawings.

Sectors
Education: Metal Technology has vast experience
of providing fenestration solutions for over 1,000
universities, colleges and schools throughout
the UK. The company was a key supplier
in a number of recently completed
student accommodation projects:
the award-winning Horizon
Heights development in Liverpool,
Belaton House and Bailey Point
in Bournemouth and 123 York St in
Belfast.
Retail: From leading supermarkets and
shopping centres to high-spec showrooms,
Metal Technology’s products have provided
designers with the flexibility to combine aesthetic
architectural statements with value engineered
practicality, performance and durability. Projects
such as Wallace Well Retail Park and brands such
as Porcelanosa, Asda and Tesco demonstrate the
company’s track record in delivering solutions in
this competitive and diversified sector.
Leisure: Metal Technology has supplied its design
solutions and high-performance systems to
major new hotels across the UK and Ireland, with
involvement in the Grand Central Hotel, AC Hotel
by Marriott, the Maldron and Hampton by Hilton,
as well as Jurys. The company has also completed
major leisure projects such as Aintree Racecourse
and the British Golf Museum in St. Andrews.
Healthcare: From Glasgow’s Victoria and
Southern General Hospitals, to its Maryhill Health
Centre which showcase the latest technology and
healthcare provision in a way that is inspiring and
inviting to the public, Metal Technology has applied
its expertise in close collaboration with designers to
deliver financially economic yet technically robust
solutions.
Commercial: Contracted for many commercial
schemes throughout the UK, Metal Technology
recently supplied their architectural glazing systems
for a number of recently completed, awardwinning
developments: CDE Global headquarters
in Cookstown, the prestigious 64,000 sq ft Victoria
Gate commercial office building in Woking and the
Aurora building in Bristol.
Residential: Signature apartment blocks in London,
Belfast and Manchester are excellent examples of
how Metal Technology’s windows, curtain walling,
sliding and bifold doors meet the aesthetic, security
and thermal performance requirements of any
building. Finishes can vary internally and externally,
adding to the design possibilities, while the intrinsic
qualities of aluminium – infinite recyclability,
durability, strength and lightness mean it is one
of the most sustainable building materials in use
today.
