Trains and Bus Stations
Trains and Bus Stations
Transport hubs such as train and bus stations are high-traffic environments that demand façades designed for safety, durability, and performance. These buildings must withstand heavy daily use, deliver excellent acoustic and thermal performance, and provide safe, accessible environments for passengers. For main contractors, the challenge lies in delivering complex façades on live or constrained sites, where safety, compliance, and programme certainty are critical.
Advanced Glass glazing and façade services works with contractors to provide complete building envelope solutions for transport projects, integrating tested systems with end-to-end delivery to reduce project risk.
Meeting the Needs of Train & Bus Stations
Fire Safety and Compartmentation
Stations are high-occupancy spaces that must comply with Approved Document B. Our façade packages integrate Siderise fire stops, fire-rated glazing, and proven aluminium systems from Technal, Senior Architectural Systems, and Aluprof, ensuring safe compartmentation and compliance with fire strategies.
Durability and Impact Resistance
With constant footfall and exposure to the elements, station façades must withstand impact and heavy wear. Our aluminium windows, doors, and curtain walling systems are designed for robustness, long-term durability, and minimal maintenance.
Acoustic and Thermal Comfort
Transport environments are often noisy. We specify glazing with tested acoustic performance to reduce external noise, improving comfort in waiting and circulation areas. Thermal performance is delivered in line with Approved Document L, ensuring energy efficiency and comfortable indoor environments.
Accessibility and Inclusivity
Stations must meet Approved Document M, providing full accessibility for all users. Our aluminium door and entrance systems can be specified with wide openings, low thresholds, and automation for safe and inclusive access.
Programme and Site Constraints
Transport projects are often delivered on live sites with immovable deadlines linked to service operations. Our façade packages are fully coordinated — from design to procurement and installation — to support programme delivery and minimise disruption.

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.
