Exceptional attention to detail in heritage project

» SPECIALIST ALUMINIUM fabricator Fentrade has demonstrated the skill of its team on a recent project for longstanding customer Windows Are Us .
The project involved the manufacture of several aluminium screens and doors using the Jack Aluminium SD70 Heritage system . These frames needed to be custom-manufactured to fit an entire corner of a building . Additionally , one side of the
building featured three different levels , yet every astragal bar and transom needed to align perfectly , ensuring the high end aesthetics were delivered . Chris Reeks , Managing Director at Fentrade , takes up the story : “ It was back to the drawing board for the Fentrade team ! We went old-school , using graph paper and pencils to carefully calculate the dimensions across the frames as a whole .
Even a single miscalculation would have thrown the entire project off balance , so absolute precision was critical .”
The Fentrade team worked closely with Windows Are Us and their trade customer to ensure every detail was meticulously addressed . This dedication extended to revising the layout from scratch to accommodate changes in the overall frame dimensions , ensuring the project ’ s precision and quality remained uncompromised .
The results have more than justified the effort involved . The Jack Aluminium SD70 Heritage system has given the homeowner the traditional aesthetics they desired , along with the modern advantages of contemporary aluminium glazing . At the same time , the meticulous calculations and
precision manufacturing have ensured that every sightline aligned perfectly , delivering the exceptional high-quality finish the project demanded .
Chris concluded : “ There were countless hours of work involved in this project , and seeing the finished result brings immense satisfaction . It looks outstanding and stands as a true testament to the skills and expertise of the Fentrade team .”
Windows Are Us is based in Stratford-upon-Avon and works across Warwickshire and the Cotswolds . Its team has considerable experience in the home improvement industry , and it brings a professional and detailed approach to every project .
