The Market Stirred with Nemesis
» » KENRICK HAS STIMULATED THE
market with the launch of a brand new bi-
directional twin cam espagnolette window
locking system which has been designed
specifically for aluminium profiles.
The solution – aptly named Nemesis – has
been launched to bring a greater variety of
locking systems to fabricators operating within
the increasingly popular domestic aluminium
market.
Steve Williams, sales director at Kenrick,
explains: “Aluminium is a rapidly growing
sector of our industry and the Council
for Aluminium Building (CAB) recently
reported that the number of installers offering
aluminium has risen by more than 40% in the
last five years. The industry has been excited
by the huge potential out there but frustrated
with the lack of choice in hardware.”
Nemesis has been developed to suit
aluminium profiles which come with or
without a Euro groove. A reliable multi-
point locking system that benefits from a
robust offset handed die-cast gearbox and
bi-directional twin cam locking, it delivers the
first-rate security features that homeowners
expect.
Nemesis has been fully tested at Exova BM
Trada and is Secured by Design and PAS 24:
2016 accredited.

Fabricator goes the extra mile
» » YORKSHIRE FABRICATOR DEMPSEY
Dyer has gone the extra mile to help a valued
customer complete a lucrative job in an
Oxfordshire conservation area.
Respected local installation firm Windmill
Windows had been called on to refurbish a
property in a historically sensitive part of the
county.
Together with the homeowner, the company
decided to replace the existing windows with
Deceuninck’s heritage flush sash – a high-spec
uPVC window system designed to replicate
the appearance of timber.
However, the project hit a problem. While
impressed with the Deceuninck product’s
period detailing, Oxfordshire conservation
officers rejected it, arguing that its astragal bar
was too wide, and not sufficiently timber-like,
for use in a conservation area.
That’s when Dempsey Dyer, Windmill’s
trade supplier, came to the rescue. The
fabricator collaborated with astragal bar
specialists the Georgian Bar Company to
produce a version of the Deceuninck Flush
Sash that would meet the strict standards of
the Oxfordshire conservation office.
Outfitted with a slimmer astragal bar, the
products were given the go-ahead.
“All conservation areas are different – and
products that might satisfy some conservation
officers might not convince others,”
commented Peter Dyer, Dempsey Dyer
Managing Director.

ALUMINIUM LIGHTS UP BATH DEVELOPMENT
» » AN EXTENSIVE RANGE OF
aluminium products from REAL
Aluminium has brought style and
luxury to an exclusive new property
development on the edge of Bath.
The selection of REAL Aluminium
windows, doors and a lantern
roof were chosen by Bristol-based
installer Panoramic Ltd to complete
the £multi-million schemes, which
sits south of the River Avon and
close to the outstanding Beechen
Cliff Boys’ School.
The developer – Annexe Ltd of
Bath – bought the site and knocked
down the bungalow that once stood
there to make way for a stunning
development. The development
consists of four spacious terraced

townhouses in one building and a
separate three bedroomed property,
which is located close by.
Having finalised the designs
with his architect, the developer
approached Panoramic to supply
all the windows and doors for the
development. He was impressed
with the crisp, clean lines of the
REAL Aluminium range and knew
that it would deliver the premium,
high end finish he wanted. Just as
importantly, REAL Aluminium’s
characteristic slim sightlines would
make the most of the incredible
views across the valley from any
vantage point.
