HELPING TO IMPROVE COVID-19 MEASURES PRIMARY PRIORITY ON SCHOOL PROJECT
» OSWESTRY WINDOWS AND DOORS has recently transformed Tilstock C of E Primary School in Whitchurch , Shropshire and also improved its Covid-19 ventilation requirements thanks to replacement Optima windows from Profile 22 .
The school recently underwent an extensive renovation programme to replace its ageing timber sash windows that were no longer thermally efficient . Furthermore , several of the existing windows would no longer open which meant the school wasn ’ t able to provide well-ventilated spaces to help minimise the risk to staff and pupils of Covid-19 . The project specification was exacting as thermal efficiency was a critical factor , as was the overall energy efficiency of the building .
The 42 Optima replacement windows for the project were manufactured by longstanding Profile 22 fabricator Emplas and installed by the experienced commercial team at Oswestry Windows & Doors Ltd . The team undertook the window design and
installation of the project to deliver the high standards the project demanded .
The award-winning Optima system from Profile 22 is one of the most widely specified commercial systems thanks to its impressive list of benefits that meet even the most demanding of requirements . Optima delivers optimal thermal performance , achieving a 1.2 W / m 2 K U-value as standard . It is PAS24:2016 compliant and its aesthetics and versatility sit comfortably in any architectural style .
For Tilstock C of E Primary School , white casement windows were specified with Georgian bar detailing to retain the building ’ s aesthetics . Matthew Dunne-Smith , Owner at Oswestry Windows and Doors , said : “ We needed to keep the original character of the building while at the same time upgrading the performance of the windows . The new Optima casement windows have transformed the look and performance of the building and ensured adequate ventilation is available to support the school ’ s Covid-19 protocols .
The project was completed during the summer holiday to ensure the school was ready to welcome staff and pupils back in September . Matthew concluded : “ The building has been transformed not only in its appearance but also in its energy performance . It is a simple but effective transformation .”
