After all, aluminium foil is present in almost every single kitchen across the globe. But aluminium is so much more precious than that. The vast majority of people are unaware that it surrounds us a great deal playing key roles in everyday life from transportation, construction, packaging, electronics, utensils, household items and so much more. Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the earth’s crust and its compounds have been used by man since the earliest of times. Ancient Middle Eastern civilisations used its salts for the preparation of dyes and medicines, and at one point in history, it was considered such a valuable commodity that rulers and the wealthy preferred impressing their guests with plates and cutlery made from aluminium rather than gold. In 1825 Hans Christian Oersted was the first to prepare pure metallic aluminium and in 1845 Friedrich Wöhler established many of the metal’s properties, including the remarkable lightness. It was this discovery that truly excited researchers and paved the way for development. 4 Aluminium is a product with unique properties. It has a low density, is non-toxic, has a high thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, is non-magnetic, non-sparking and can be easily cast, machined and formed. It is the second most malleable metal, the sixth most ductile and is 100% recyclable. As an alloy it is both strong and durable while maintaining its light property. These exceptional qualities have made it an essential product for the building industry. Aluminium was first used in quantity for building and construction in the 1920s. The applications were primarily oriented toward decorative detailing and art deco structures. The breakthrough came in 1930, when major structures within the Empire State Building in New York were built with aluminium; including interior structures and the famous spire. Today, aluminium is recognized as one of the most energy efficient and sustainable construction materials. It is the second most widely specified metal in building after steel, and is used in all sectors from commercial building to domestic dwelling. We can proudly say that the extraordinary characteristics and properties of aluminium as a material have lead to revolutionary and innovative changes in building techniques and in architectural and engineering projects. Aluminium is leading the way into the future of the building and construction industry and we are excited to be a part of this journey. 5 ESC Introduction 6 With the main goal in providing the latest technology in aluminium to answer all the market needs, ESC Aluminium Systems was established in the United Arab Emirates in 2001.

In different sectors from industry to individual home dwellings, people are implementing green practices. In the construction industry, Green Building, also known as green construction or sustainable building, refers to both the structure and use of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building’s life-cycle; from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. In Dubai, the goal of implementing Green Building is to improve the performance of the buildings by reducing energy, water and material consumption, improving public health and safety, and increasing efficiency, while still retaining the excellence and beauty of the buildings that represent Dubai as the leader of high standards of living, comfort and success. 86 Here at ESC Aluminium Systems we believe in the importance of sustainability and green practices and have designed our systems to include these in the following ways: • Our systems, and specially designed hardware for the curtain wall system, are designed with advanced section profiles that provide an easy assembling process conserving time and energy in fabrication, site installation and maintenance. • Our thermal break systems improve energy efficiency by meeting the performance requirements for each type of building. The system offers the lowest possible U values to achieve the requirement for insulation, which in turn lowers the consumption of energy of the cooling or heating system of the building. • We provide more options of windows and door profiles that can be opened as per the requirement of the architect. • We use special gaskets and polyamide thermal strips to help eliminate heat entering the structure, and decrease noise leaking through. • We use non-toxic and recyclable materials of aluminium for extrusion, without losing quality or strength. • Recyclable and environmentally friendly raw materials are used for manufacturing the hardware and accessories. The regulations of Green Building intend to support Dubai’s Strategic Plan, creating a more sustainable urban environment and extending the ability of the Emirate’s infrastructure to meet the needs of future development. 87 Sleek 88 Ductile Malleable 89 Estidama Estidama, the Arabic word for sustainability, is a building design methodology for constructing and operating buildings and communities more sustainably. The program is a key aspect of the “Abu Dhabi Vision 2030” drive to build the Abu Dhabi emirate according to innovative green standards. Within Estidama is a green building rating system called the Pearl Rating System utilized to evaluate sustainable building development practices in Abu Dhabi. The Estidama program is mandatory in Abu Dhabi and all buildings must achieve a minimum 1 Pearl Rating, while all government-funded buildings must have a minimum 2 Pearl Rating. redesigned our aluminium profile sections to achieve the lowest possible U values by using our new type of polyamide thermal connectors that separate the internal and external profile. We applied a 22-24mm gap in between the profiles making the insulation more effective by reducing the amount of heat transfer coming from outside the structure. ESC Aluminium Systems started developing and incorporating all the requirements needed to achieve the goal and vision of Estidama. With ESC thermal break systems, we improved and 90 91 Strong Support A total solution 92 93 ESC Systems ESC Systems ESC FW1-50 Series: Curtain Wall System We have developed the FW1-50 Series curtain wall by focusing on three main areas, such as cost, safety and speed of fabrication and installation. Some of the advanced features it offers are by using a latch system for the glass, which self-fixes to the frame giving a breakthrough in curtain wall technology. It avoids the use of temporary pressure plates and screws to hold the glass when set into place. We have designed a transom connector that carries more weight and can be installed from inside or outside the structure giving more speed for installation. The system offers the use of EPDM rubber pads to isolate in between transom and mullion sections which forbids noise, resulting from daily contraction and expansion. EPDM front gaskets are fixed as well before the structural silicone which prevents water leakage in case the silicone is not well filled. A specially designed teeth plates to fit on our pre-made wall brackets to speed-up the installation process allowing easy movement to correct the alignment of the glass panels. We have designed a snap-on pressure cover section for the conventional type that avoids the use of fixing screws, which makes the installation fast and easy. ESC FW1-70 Series: Curtain Wall System FW1-70 Series offers the use of a special locking clip to hold the glass in a 4-way structural system. A glass fixing support is also used in addition of structural silicone to strengthen the fixation. This protects the glass sheet from falling down and at the same time increases its lifetime expectation to twice as long. The system offers the use of EPDM rubber pads in between transom and mullion sections which eliminates, noise, resulting from daily contraction and expansion. EPDM front gaskets are fixed as well before the structural silicone which prevents water leakage in case the silicone is not well filled. 94 ESC SL-120 Series: Sliding Thermal Break System SL-120 Series is our most advanced sliding thermal break system. The internal and external profile sections are designed to be connected without the use of continuous crimping. It can be connected manually with the use of special internal polyamide connectors which are distributed equally then tightly fixing it with an external continuous polyamide strip. These connectors are the main key to meet the ESTIDAMA requirements. With our advanced air system rest assured that the full thermal performance will be reached by ensuring there will be no air leakage. ESC FW1-85 Series: Unitized Curtain Wall System FW1-85 Series is our newly developed mechanical unitized curtain wall system, without silicon bonding which gives more assurance for longer lifetime guaranty and easier replacement of glass in the future. The profile sections are designed to meet the different degrees of segmentations of the glass panel by having selections of adaptors depending on the project requirements, and this creates flexibility in convenience with circular designed buildings and structures. The system is using EPDM rubber to resist hot temperature and weather variations. There are designated brackets attached to every unit for lifting during the installation process. We have designed a special hook that compliments the bracketing system on every slab. ESC SL-114 Series: Sliding Non-Thermal Break System SL-114 Series is designed and constructed using the highest quality materials to produce a smooth sliding system that compliments each home or office where it’s used. This offers an effective and useful feature such as the use of EPDM flocking gaskets which helps the shutter slide easily. Having dual weather seals at the top, bottom and sides provide the benefits of dust elimination and air tightness. The system offers the use of high quality hardware, accessories and a water drainage system. 95 ESC Systems ESC Systems ESC H-100 Series: Hinged Thermal Break System H-100 Series is our most advanced hinged thermal break system. It offers the same features with SL-120 Series by making the design of the internal and external profile sections to be connected without the use of continuous crimping. This procedure makes the assembly faster and saves time by avoiding the use of machines. The special feature of this system is the concealed type hinge accessory that makes the assembly fully tight sealed. Using the same special internal connectors and external continuous polyamide strip meets the ESTIDAMA requirements. ESC doors and windows are safe, secure, easy to operate and we offer the choice to use laminated or tempered safety glass with Low E insulated for improved performance. ESC H-63 Series: Hinged Thermal Break System H-63 Series is one of our hinged thermal break system which is designed in the traditional way.
