Doors & Windows
and we’ ve worked with them on a number of projects over the years. Our recent investment in a new cutting centre and a new automated welding and cleaning line allowed us to offer greater speed and efficiency in fabricating the REHAU frames for this project.
“ Like The Window Company( Contracts), REHAU is similarly experienced in the commercial space and their team were a great help on this project. They act as that‘ critical friend’ and assist us with quoting, tenders and technical expertise. It just makes the whole process a lot smoother from start to finish.”
Fit to last
Since the project started last year, 137 TOTAL70 windows, four rear doors and six French doors have been installed at Luckley House, and 63 TOTAL70 windows have been installed at Clockhouse. All the products which have been installed are in line with the PAS24 security standard
and the windows exceed the minimum standard thermal efficiency requirement. The improved thermal performance of these new windows and doors has also helped Ashford Borough Council increase the viability of air source and ground source heat pump installations. Rueben said:“ In some cases, the improved thermal efficiency of the windows and doors has acted as the deciding factor that has persuaded tenants to accept heating upgrades.
“ The windows have also allowed us to improve ventilation options, helping to prevent the occurrence of damp and mould – especially as the colder months approach.”
Hannah Smith, area sales manager at REHAU, said:“ This ongoing project with Ashford Borough Council has been great to work on. We have existing relationships with both The Window Company( Contracts) and Polyframe, which has meant that communication, delivery and timeframes have all run smoothly. It is brilliant to see what a difference our products can make to the residents at Luckley House and Clockhouse, and we look forward to continuing our work with all parties as the upgrades to social housing in the area continue.”
