ALUMINIUM Multimillionpound regeneration scheme awarded Industry-leading PVCu and aluminium fabricator, Sternfenster has been contracted to provide windows and doors to a major North London redevelopment project. »»THE LINCOLN-BASED COMPANY has supplied 760 Residence 9 windows and 750 Deceuninck doors to the Dollis Valley residential development, an ambitious regeneration project that aims to transform a run-down area of Barnet into what developer Countryside Properties PLC calls “London’s first 21st Century garden suburb”. Comprising 631 new private and rented houses and apartments, the project will also include parks, green spaces, and a variety of community facilities. “We’re delighted to have been contracted for such a sensitively designed, high-quality regeneration project”, said Sternfenster managing director, Mike Parczuk. “For us, it’s incredibly rewarding – we’re seeing our sustained investment in increasing capacity come to fruition, allowing us to take on major commercial contracts such as this one, while maintaining our lead times and continuing to improve on the service we provide to our trade customers. “We’re especially pleased that with this project, the client has benefitted from our state-of-the-art StyleLine Deceuninck doors and Residence 9 windows, featuring attractive seamless corner welds, rather than the unsightly corner groove that’s commonly found in PVCu frames. As a manufacturing method, StyleLine Residence 9 is also up to 32% less expensive than the traditional mechanical jointing, while still delivering the high-end aesthetic required,” said Mike. He continued: “It’s just one of the many benefits that we’re able to pass down the line to our trade and commercial customers, all the way through to the end-users.” www.sternfenster.com DESIGN STUDIO BRINGS BUILDING SYSTEMS EXPERTISE »»ALUK (GB) IS CONTINUING ITS exciting business expansion with the launch of the AluK Design Studio in the City of London.
