70 DOORSETS TRANSFORM WAREHOUSE DES RES
» » A CONVERSION OF A VICTORIAN
warehouse into residential accommodation
has used Spectus Elite 70 doorsets to stunning
effect.
The project had two entrances and the
doorsets were manufactured by Derbyshire-
based Spectus fabricator Titan Trade
Windows. The clients chose a bevelled profile
in cream, with one entrance replaced by a
single residential doorset set into a glazed
section and the other by large French doors.
Ben Vowles, Operations Manager at Titan,
takes up the story. “The project needed
exceptional attention to detail to deliver a high
quality finish. The position of the mullions
was key in ensuring the sightlines were intact
with the first floor frames and also gave
internal clearance for the stairs.”
To ensure the project was completed to
the standard required, Titan worked closely
with the installer, Leicestershire’s The Right
Window Company. The support of the Epwin
Window Systems technical team was also
drawn upon.
Ben says: “Conversations with the Epwin
Window Systems technical team helped
us develop the right solution. We used the
structural mullion profiles not only between
the shaped frames and doorset frames but also
between the doors and side lights.”
