Pineapple Building, Aylesford, Kent

Comar Architectural Aluminium Systems, with their approved fabricator Anglia Fixing Ltd completed a new purpose built office and production facility for Pineapple Contract Office Furniture. The new offices and showroom provide state of the art premises with a top floor showroom affording panoramic views across the local Kent area.

Comar 6EFT 4sided SG was selected as it offers architects a flexible system, providing a structurally glazed solution, with options for facets, concealed vents and an extensive range of profiles that cater for large structurally glazed panes. Comar 6EFT 4sided SG also offers the slimmest silicon or EPDM joints in the industry, which means the eye catching glazed area is maximised.

The project was completed using Comar 5P.i ECO top hung windows. The Comar 5P.i window system uses trademarked Polyamide Insulated (P.i) that provides exceptional thermal performance in a market where energy efficient designs and meeting the demands of the latest building regulations are paramount. All configurations, such as casement, top swing reversible, pivot, tilt and turn and sliding can be manufactured. These windows offer outstanding weather performance and reduce heat loss through the trademark P.i thermal break ensuring low U-values so energy bills are minimised. Comar 5P.i ECO is a casement window system which includes a 55mm and 75mm option. In an extremely busy office environment, Comar 7P.i Commercial Door sets were the natural choice. Not only are they available in swing, pivot, sliding, auto-sliding and sliding folding, they have been designed specifically for applications where high traffic solutions are required. Polyamide Insulated (P.i) door systems also provide exceptional thermal performance in a market where energy efficient designs and meeting the demands of the latest building regulations are paramount.
