A former local authority sports centre in Hellesdon, Norwich has been turned into a state-of-the-art Esporta Health Centre thanks to a £8.5 million makeover from Senior Aluminium Systems.

Senior worked with fabricators Quadrille to provide its high performance SMR 900 curtain wall system to form the fully glazed, distinctive arched facade and main gable curtain walls as designed by architects Limbrick.

Chosen for its superior durability and high performance qualities, the SMR 900 system has been designed for site erection to the highest industry standard. Based on a 50mm wide tubular box profile aluminium extrusion, the sections range from 60mm to 175mm in depth, sufficient to satisfy most structural requirements.


Now a premier tennis, gym, swimming pool and health club in Norwich, the Esporta Health Centre boasts six indoor and five outdoor tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, as well as an impressive fitness centre and 65 studio classes a week.

Independently owned, Senior Aluminium Systems offers a one-stop aluminium and powder coating service for the architectural aluminium glazing market. Providing high performance glazing products with a responsive and personal service, SAS operates from three service centres in Denaby Main, Newport and Livingston.
