Senior Architectural Systems, one of the UK’s largest aluminium fenestration solutions manufacturers, is opening up new opportunities in the commercial market thanks to the launch of its new SPD150 aluminium door system.
Complementing Senior’s established commercial product range, the SPD150 commercial door system has been specifically developed to meet the demands of high-traffic commercial environments where accessibility, performance, and durability are key.
Developed as a non-rebated door and framing system, the SPD150 can be fabricated as single or double doors, with various configuration options such as emergency exit versions and anti-finger trap stiles. One of its key advantages is its low threshold design which provides easier access for wheelchair users and reduces the risk of trips, helping to create a more inclusive design in communal spaces.
The use of low thresholds can also contribute to a more streamlined interior design, providing a seamless transition to outdoor spaces and making the new SPD150 commercial door suitable for use across a variety of sectors including healthcare, education, office schemes, and other public use buildings. For architects and specifiers seeking a clean, modern aesthetic, the SPD150 system also supports the integration of concealed closers and hardware. These discreet design options ensure a minimalist appearance without compromising on performance or ease of use.
Fabricators and installers will also benefit from smarter fabrication and optimisation thanks to the SDD150’s pre-fabricated top and bottom rail plates, which can help to reduce fabrication time on-site, and the use of universal top and bottom door rails. In addition, the SPD150 features square-cut components mechanically jointed using self-tapping screws and shear blocks to simplify the construction process and improve build consistency.
Fully recyclable and offering enhanced thermal performance, the SPD150 door system achieves U-values as low as 1.3 W/m²K when triple-glazed (CEN standard) and 1.6 W/m²K when double-glazed. The system is also fully tested to meet the latest industry standards, including PAS24 for enhanced security and BS6375 parts 1 and 2 for weather tightness and durability.
As part of Senior’s popular commercial range, the SPD150 system offers greater design flexibility and further complements the manufacturer’s existing portfolio, which includes the robust SD, SPW501 and SPW600e door systems as well as the company’s patented PURe® Commercial Door.
