ALUMINIUM
‘ Attention to detail ’ delivered for Swansea landmark development
Fentrade Aluminium has recently manufactured and supplied sixteen sets of non-thermally broken commercial shopfront doors and screens as part of £ 6m makeover project at a landmark development in Swansea .
» THE COMMERCIAL SHOPFRONT doors featured opening fanlights for additional ventilation and both the doors and screens were specified in RAL7016 grey to form a ribbon of frames around the whole ground floor element . The four-storey building called Orchard
House has undergone a total refurbishment
and now consists of new commercial premises on the ground floor , modern offices on the first floor and 52 one- and two-bedroom apartments on the upper levels . The building transformation is part of Swansea Council ’ s regeneration strategy that aims to facilitate more people living and working in the city centre .
Window Solutions Wales has been working with Fentrade since 2018 . Paul Armstrong , Director of WSW Group UK Limited , commented : “ We will always face many issues when dealing with a large contract such as this , but we know with Fentrade the quality of the products and the service we receive will never be one of those issues .”
