Alumasc Water Management Solutions is committed to Continuing Professional Development and offers a range of webinars & seminars approved by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the CPD Certification Service.

Our CPD's presentations take place either at your premises or via Microsoft Teams and are run by the Alumasc WMS specification team providing a personal, in-depth instruction. In these sessions we explore how our products work and their key design features, from within the broader context of urban water management.

Architectural Aluminium - A Complete Guide to Design & Specification

This CPD will take a detailed look into the design and specification of architectural aluminium products such as fascia, soffit, coping, window surrounds, door canopies, column casings and planters. Exploring system design, specification guidance, installation, mitigating risks, maintenance, and health and safety in design. All to ensure that the finished product is fit for purpose, aesthetically pleasing, safe, sustainable and stands the test of time.

By the end of this CPD, delegates should:

  • Understand the difference between recyclable and sustainable materials, gain knowledge on what materials are sustainable and fit for purpose.
  • Have a better understanding of the fire rating requirements in this application and ability to specify products which will comply.
  • Know the limitations and considerations when designing these products and understand the limitations of aluminium as a material.
  • Be able to consider the installation of the products mentioned and how this will affect the design, longevity and health and safety aspects of the system and building.
  • Have the ability to produce adequate care and maintenance advice to contractors and client if required, in order to ensure the system is safe, fit for purpose and appearance is maintained.

This CPD is available as both a face to face and online seminar.
