Distinct Architectural Character
In the early 1900s, the style of construction saw many buildings furnished in a fashion for window and small façade design using narrow steel profiles. The architecture from this period is still preserved in many towns and cities in Northern Europe. Trends within architecture have changed and technical development provides new and better windows, doors and façade systems.
The old steel profiles having no thermal break, promoted high energy loss and condensation.
This prompted famous Danish architects C.F. Moellers Tegnestue to seek a high performance fenestration solution with a new low maintenance material – aluminium - for a project at Aarhus University. It was imperative that the profiles were slim with optimum sightlines and an aesthetic appearance. The system should also offer extremely good U-values.
It was natural for Mr Mads Moeller to choose HansenGroup as his partner for this exciting project.
The solution became Hansen Millennium ™ !
Today many of these period buildings in Northern Europe are being renovated with Hansen Millennium™. Hansen Millennium ™ is under continuous develop- ment and is designed to satisfy the demanding standards set down by the Danish Window Institute and to comply with the relevant European and British Standards Codes of Practice.
