ALUMINIUM WINDOWS AND DOOR DELIVER CONTEMPORARY APPEAL

» FENTRADE ’ S HIGH-QUALity aluminium windows and doors have proven their contemporary appeal in a recent home renovation in Torquay . The substantial domestic project was carried out by retail and commercial installer Southern Design Windows and marked their initial collaboration with Fentrade since selecting them as their fabrication partner for this venture .
The project involved a complete home renovation , including two five-part bay windows and six inline sliding doors , all in a marine-grade paint finish to accommodate the coastal location . Attention to detail throughout was vital to deliver the high-end result required .
Chris Reeks , Managing Director at Fentrade , said : “ Every customer supply agreement is
different , so we worked closely with Southern from the initial quotation to the final delivery on this first order . We took the time to run through our procedures and paperwork to ensure their team was completely comfortable in what they were signing off at every stage .
“ When it came to the delivery , two direct-to-site drops were organised to work in harmony with their fitting schedules and allow for installation time without too many frames being stored on site , thereby minimising any security risks .”
Established in 2016 , Southern Design Windows Limited work across Devon providing a professional supply and installation service with a wide range of fenestration products , using an experienced
team of people for a high quality finish .
Aaron Hern , Owner of Southern Design Windows , said : “ We ’ ve built our business on the quality of our offer , and our choice of fabrication partner is critical in helping us maintain our standards . Fentrade fabricates the highend products that our customers love . We look forward to working with Chris and his team again in future .”
The first project Fentrade and Southern Design Windows worked on was so successful that Southern plan to use Fentrade on future projects . The company has already taken samples of Fentrade ’ s aluminium and Residence Collection products for its Paignton showroom .
