THE TENANTS OF BARTON Village, Eccles, have benefited from thousands of VEKA windows and will see a drop in their energy bills after the environmentally friendly £ 14.3m makeover.
The four 1960’ s tower blocks, which took a total of 12 months to refurbish, consist of 290 energy efficient homes – with many of the one and two-bedroom flats now having innovative green technologies, state-of-the-art ventilation and improved security.
Nicola Bott, Programme Manager at ForViva Group, who own the buildings, said:“ We now have some of the most energy efficient towers in the country.”
VEKA’ s Matrix 70 Casement Windows are the number one choice in the industry, with Multi-chamber frame design allowing for face or base drainage on either side of central chamber, internal and external beading and tilt and turn options.
They suit many different house styles and are widely chosen for their design, versatility, visual appearance and quality in the window and door industry.
Other works on the flats included structural repairs, internal remodelling, ventilation systems, infrastructure works ¬ boosted cold water and soil stack replacement, electrical rewires, kitchen and bathroom replacement, lift refurbishment and communal decoration.
