High-Rise Residential Buildings
Residential High-Rise Buildings
High-rise buildings present unique challenges for main contractors.
Safety, compliance, and performance are under the highest levels of scrutiny, with building envelopes required to achieve strict fire, thermal, and acoustic standards. Projects also demand precision in design and coordination, as façade installation often dictates programme progress.
Advanced Glass glazing and façade services works with contractors to deliver reliable façade systems for high-rise buildings, ensuring compliance with regulations while reducing risk through end-to-end management.
Fire Safety and Compliance
In tall buildings, fire safety is paramount. Our façade packages incorporate Siderise fire stops, fire-rated glazing, and tested aluminium systems from Technal, Senior Architectural Systems, and Aluprof. We design in line with Approved Document B and ensure that cavity barriers, compartment lines, and fire strategies are fully integrated into the building envelope.
Thermal and Energy Performance
To meet Approved Document L, our curtain walling, glazing, and cladding systems are specified for low U-values and airtight performance, helping developers achieve energy targets and sustainability goals.Acoustic Control
With many high-rise developments in dense urban locations, noise reduction is essential. We specify glazing with tested acoustic ratings, delivering comfortable environments for residents and building users.
Programme and Safety on Site
Façade installation on high-rise projects must align with strict construction sequencing. We manage design, procurement, and installation to support main contractor programmes, reducing delays and site risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aluminium windows offer durability, low maintenance, excellent thermal efficiency, and modern aesthetics, making them ideal for commercial applications.
Yes, modern aluminium windows feature thermal break technology to improve insulation, achieving low U-values meeting Part L building regulations and often exceeding it.
Options include double or triple glazing, solar control glass, acoustic glass, laminated safety glass, and enhanced security glass, depending on performance needs.
Yes, commercial aluminium windows can be PAS 24 certified and meet Secured by Design standards with multi-point locking systems with reinforced frames.
When properly maintained, aluminium windows can last 30 – 40 years, due to their corrosion resistance and high-quality powder-coated finishes.
Yes, they are available in a wide range of RAL colours, anodised finishes, and different configurations, including casement, tilt-and-turn, and sliding options.
Aluminium windows are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, with high wind load resistance and water-tightness ratings to ensure long-term performance.
Minimal maintenance is needed – just the occasional cleaning and lubrication of moving parts is required to help ensure smooth operation and longevity.
Yes, aluminium is up to 100% recyclable, and many modern aluminium window systems use recycled materials, supporting sustainable building practices.
Lead times vary depending on customisation and project size, but standard windows typically take 12 – 16 weeks for design, manufacturing and delivery.
