Doors & Windows
WINDOWS AND DOORS FIT FOR THE BAY QUEEN
Over the past 20 years Keyframe UK has worked alongside Isle of Man Rehau fabricator Sash Windows ; owned by Ken Chadwick . For many years Ken and his team have built an excellent reputation for manufacturing , supplying and installing Rehau windows on the island . In cases when they are busy , or large projects would put too much pressure on their production Keyframe has been on hand to meet their requirements .
Back in June 2024 Keyframe announced that they were starting to manufacture the prestigious Rehau Slinova Patio Range . When we received the call from Ken to ask if we had started making them and would we be interested in producing some for them ; this presented an ideal opportunity for Keyframe to start production of the new range . Due to Sash Windows ’ reputation and previous relationship with Hartford Homes , they had negotiated a contract to supply and install in excess of 80 inline sliding patio doors and 170 windows , on their exclusive new build development ; The Bay Queen at Port St Mary Isle of Man . Keyframe manufactured the windows using the Rehau Total 70C System with a Shwarzbraun foiled both sides finish . This helped create the contemporary feel that Hartford was looking for . The patios were originally specified in aluminium , but Sash proposed Slinova as a high-quality alternative ; equally approved as to its weather ratings .
In order to clarify this Rehau was engaged to carry out wind loading calculations on the patios due to the property ’ s geographic location - directly on the seafront . This ensured that the product was fit for purpose , and suitable to withstand the excessive weather conditions experienced in such an exposed
location . All patios were to be two-pane with varying dimensions up to 4000w x 2395h . Keyframe increased the steel specification on the doors to a level above that what had been stated , within the Rehau report to ensure that any deflection in the frames would be virtually eliminated . Many of the windows that were supplied were arched and these were supplied in conjunction with our shaped frame partner Arcoframe . Whilst the project is still ongoing and fitting is due to be completed in the next four to six weeks , the development has a proposed completion date of 2027 .
The development comprises of 24 luxury apartments , two exceptional penthouses , a gym for residents ’ use , and private meeting lounge . The ultra-high specification of the development ensures maximum energy efficiency , with state-of-the-art mechanical ventilation with heat recovery , 600 % energy efficient climate control with air conditioning to all habitable rooms with Impeccable acoustic insulation . All apartments also have the use of their own private EV Charing points . Prices start from £ 975,000 up to £ 4,750,000 .
