» 41 STELLAR FLUSH CASEMENT Windows by Epwin Window Systems have been manufactured and installed in St Neots Library in Cambridgeshire as part of a renovation project to improve the building ’ s energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal .
The contract was awarded to experienced Stellar manufacturer Prestige Aluminium . Gavin Taylor , Managing Director , explains : “ The original timber vertical sliding windows had come to the end of their purposeful life , something that was affecting the visual appearance and the building ’ s energy efficiency . New windows were needed to upgrade the thermal efficiency and restore the building ’ s original appearance .”
The Stellar Flush Casement Windows provided the perfect solution to both problems . The aluminium windows are extremely energy efficient by design and meet the requirements of Part L of Building Regulations with standard double-glazed units , whilst offering a high-level of security . They also deliver up to 12 % more glass area than a comparable window , maximising natural light and further reducing artificial lighting resource , something that is increasingly important in an age of high energy bills .
At the same time , Stellar windows have outstanding aesthetics that enhance every building . For this project , the 41 Flush Casement Windows were manufactured in RAL 8016M , Chocolate Brown to retain the building ’ s original appearance .
Several features of the project demonstrate the versatility and flexibility of Stellar . All non-opening windows were constructed using dummy sashes to retain a flush appearance across the building ’ s envelope . Trickle vents were incorporated into window mullions because the building ’ s plaster line meant they could not be fitted into the frame . For safety , all windows were fitted with 100mm restrictors .
The project ran to schedule due to the experience and meticulous planning of the Prestige Aluminium team and the quick-fitting properties of Stellar . Gavin concluded : “ This high-profile public building demonstrates Stellar Aluminium ’ s credentials and is another example of how it ’ s opening up opportunities across the commercial sector . The windows have provided a sleek aesthetic to the building ’ s architecture and provided a warm and inviting atmosphere for the library ’ s customers . We were delighted to be involved .”
