 | | BEAUFORT BRINGS NEW BUSINESS FOR FRAME FAST | | | Beaufort Secure Design Ltd | | 05/03/2007 | | | Beaufort's versatile aluminium system is meeting the mixed use needs of a development by Quarnmill Construction on the southern outskirts of Derby. A brand new design concept for the area, Bradgate Park View combines office accommodation with twenty apartments in five multi-storey blocks with stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
Frame Fast (UK) Ltd is fabricating and installing aluminium doors and windows for the contract, which is its first using the Beaufort system. "Our decision to add an aluminium option alongside our PVC-U range is opening up new commercial opportunities, like Bradgate Park View, where aluminium is often the preferred solution because of its slim sightlines, durability and green credentials," explains Frame Fast's MD, John Brocklehurst.
The development is specified to the highest standards, including secure, energy efficient aluminium windows from Beaufort that are internally glazed and fitted with solar reflective glazing plus anti-glare glass to the south elevation. Beaufort's tilt before turn style windows are being installed, which allow convenient cleaning from the inside - an important consideration for multi-storey developments like Bradgate Park View.
Beaufort's Classic Direct Fix Ovolo frame has been chosen for office windows on the ground and first floors, with a complementary frame style from the Advanced range for duplex apartments on the top floor. A popular choice for residential projects, window sections in Beaufort's all-new Advanced System incorporate a polyamide thermal barrier, together with a multi-chamber construction to ensure full compliance with Building Regulations. It is also the first internally glazed aluminium system to feature built-in trickle ventilators as standard, together with a double bead option that eliminates the need for dummy vents.
Frame Fast is also providing an entrance door with side panel and canopy for each block from Beaufort's aluminium door system. All door sections feature a thermal barrier to satisfy stringent U value directives. The doors are tested to PAS 23 / 24 and feature Secured by Design licensed multipoint locks. Like the aluminium windows, the entrance doors benefit from slim sightlines and can be supplied in any colour from the RAL and Syntha Pulvin ranges as well as anodised. Doors and windows at Bradgate Park View are specified in a smart black exterior finish and the apartment windows have a white finish on the inside to provide a lighten the interior decor.
"Winning this prestigious contract endorses our decision to take on the Beaufort aluminium system and we're looking forward to working with the Beaufort team on many more projects in the future," concludes John Brocklehurst. | |
