Our Thoughts On This Project

The Nile University (NU) is a world-class non-governmental and non-profit university committed to excellence in education and research.

The university’s unique design features a large scale point-supported structural glazing façade fixed on a spaceframe substructure, integrated with an all-glass entrance canopy and aluminum composite cladding walls and column covers.

AluNile’s scope of work included providing high-performance point-supported structural glazing system, conventional curtainwalls, louvers, and canopies, in addition to various exterior aluminum composite cladding walls, column covers, operable windows and doors systems.

Curtain Walling

SG50

The SG50 Curtain Walling System is a structurally-glazed solution designed to offer high performance.

DESIGN FEATURES

Uses same grid of mullions and transoms as the SL50.
Curtain walls with structurally bonded opening elements with ""structural"" (all-glass) aesthetics.
Can be used in a full structurally glazed solution or combined with an expressed outer cover in either vertical or horizontal planes.
21 mm visible gap between panels.
Glass installation is achieved by a stainless steel toggle which is fixed on the structure and guarantees mechanical retains.

OPTIONS

Peripheral and finishing profiles.
All surface finishes available.
Customised finishes upon request.

APPLICATION TYPE

Ideal for commercial and industrial sector application incl. offices, hospitals and schools.

SIZE LIMITS

Max glass thickness (mm) - 35
Maximum sash load (kg) - 690

FEATURES

Frame options - 50
Multi-point locking

Our aluminum curtain walls enable specifiers to create impressive facades that not only enhance the aesthetics of a building but also provide the functionality and performance required to meet and exceed current standards.

Shutters And Louver

FRS

The FRS solar protection system has been designed to create sunshades manufactured from aluminum profiles.

DESIGN FEATURES

Reduces the heat load on the building by intercepting sun rays before they reach the glazed surfaces.
Solar radiation adsorbed by the shading is dissipated out of the facade.
Efficiency up to 30% vs. other internal system, by effect of natural ventilation.

OPTIONS

Available both in fixed and motorised, revolving options.
Photovoltaic panels.
All surface finishing available, customisable on request.
Fixed horizontal sunshade with adjustable angle support, for blades up to 250mm.
Fixed horizontal sunshade applied on vertical structure, suitable for the entire range and for blade inclination of 0, 15, 30 or 45°.
Fixed horizontal sunshade applied on back vertical support, for blade from 250 to 360mm.
Revolving horizontal sunshade with drive gear, angle 0-90°, suitable for south oriented facade.
Revolving vertical sunshade with drive gear, angle 0-90°, suitable for east-west oriented facade.
Revolving vertical sunshade with drive gear, angle 45-0° and 0-45° allows east-west orientation and could be used on south oriented facade.

APPLICATION TYPE

Typically used for horizontal and vertical sunshade.

SOLUTIONS

Fix lamella.
Adjustable lamella.

The range is composed of five sections of aluminium extruded profiles with dimensions of 150, 200, 250, 310 and 360 mm, and a complete range for the realization of fixed and adjustable
sunshade solutions. Typically used for horizontal and vertical sunshade, both in fixed and motorized option and with the option for integrated photovoltaic panels.
The utilization of this high-tech system applied on curtain walls increases the comfort, allows energy savings in air-conditioning and the production of electric energy.
