Sapa Building Systems' largest single area of expertise is the provision of fenestration for education buildings; we have been designing systems for this sector for over 20 years. In that time we have developed an unparalleled understanding of how these products are used, and the qualities and attributes which are most highly valued by our clients.

Sapa product developments of particular relevance to the schools construction sector include:

* Robust anti finger trap stiles to doors, which are an integral part of the frame rather than fragile after-market solutions.

* Sliding windows, which maximise natural ventilation without dangerously projecting opening lights.

* Profiles specifically to occupy the zone vacated by existing materials, making refurbishments simple, quick and cost effective.

* Systems such as Dualframe Window Wall and Dualframe SCOLA; specifically designed to achieve the large spans and glazed areas associated with both modern architectural styles and the replacement of designs within system-built constructions of the 1960s and 1970s.
