TITON’S HARDWARE EXPORTED TO
PRESTIGIOUS REFURBISHMENT IN POLAND
Over 300 sets of Titon win-
dow hardware have been fitted
as part of the ongoing refurbish-
ment of the Rother’s Mills build-
ings on Mill Island, located in the
historic old town of Bydgoszcz,
Poland. The products installed
include Overture E handles,
Kenrick Standard Espags, top
hung Venture hinges and Capture
safety restrictors, which were all
supplied onsite by Titon’s Polish
distributor, AGAS.
Mill Island has been a popular
tourist destination since 2006,
with the Rother’s Mills build-
ings being one of the central
attractions. Following significant
investment in a number of nearby
museums, the decision was then
taken to refurbish Rother’s Mills
with brand new windows, while
allowing the buildings to retain
their original characteristics.
Commenting on the project,
Remigiusz Bie ń kowski, Technical
Sales Advisor at AGAS, said: “The
historic riverside buildings have
hundreds of timber windows, so
required high quality hardware to
ensure robustness and durability.
Following extensive research, it
was clear Titon offered the most
suitable range of products, comply-
ing with the project’s specification,
as well as the relevant building
regulations. We have worked with
Titon for over two and a half years,
and have always been extremely
impressed with the quality of their
hardware and exceptional custom-
er service. These sentiments were
shared by our client Zakład Stolar-
ski Marek Kapeja, who worked on
the Rother’s Mills refurbishment.”
Daniel Obara, Export Manager
at Titon, added: “We are proud
to have been involved in such a
prestigious project in Poland. Our
hardware has certainly impressed,
as another 500 windows fitted
with the same Titon products are
set to be installed from now into
the new year. This is testament to
the versatility and quality of our
hardware portfolio, as we offer a
wealth of handles, espagnolettes
and hinges suitable for a wide
range of applications.”

Overture espagnolette handles
are part of Titon’s Overture suite
of window and door hardware.
This stylish handle is ergonom-
ically designed to include a
solid and sculptured grip, and is
available in straight or handed
versions, in a variety of finishes.
The Venture friction hinge
range is suitable for domestic
applications on side or top hung
windows. It has been developed
by Titon’s experienced window
fittings team and is tested to the
latest standards. All hinge dimen-
sions and opening geometries
have been designed to fit most
window profiles. There are a
number of versions in the range,
including top hung, side hung
and Egress Easy-Clean, available
in standard or Hi Stack configura-
tions. The addition of the Tenure
Hinge Security Guard also allows
the Venture hinge to meet the
requirements of PAS 24 as part of
a compliant window system.
The Kenrick Standard Espagno-
lette locking mechanism is de-
signed to meet the requirements
of the UK market – where peace
of mind, performance, longevity
and basic security are vital. It is
suitable for use on PVCU, timber
or aluminium windows.
Finally, Capture is an automat-
ically engaging spring-loaded
window safety restrictor for use
on side and top hung windows
to limit opening and can be
retrofitted. Capture is supplied in
austenitic steel and in a choice
of three different lengths for use
on deep sections. Various pin
heights are also available to suit
all cavity sizes.

Profile 22’s Optima selected for affordable
housing development in Glasgow
900 Optima casement windows and
French door units in Anthracite Grey have
been fitted in a development of 82 new build
houses to the north of Glasgow. Demand for
affordable housing in and around Glasgow
is growing. Homes in The Orchard provide
a high-quality option for first time buyers,
growing families and downsizers alike.
A brownfield site, formerly the home of
the NHS Orchards hospital was acquired
by Keepmoat Homes for the development
of the 82 two- and three-bedroom homes
in seven different styles. The contract for
the windows and French doors on the
homes was awarded to Glasgow-based
Profile 22 Approved Window Contractor
Gold Seal Windows.
Optima is the award-winning 70mm sys-
tem for Profile 22. Its casement windows
are available in sculptured and chamfered
variations. Aesthetically, Optima casement
windows offer improved sightlines and
a higher glass-to-frame ratio. The system
meets all requirements for thermal effi-
ciency as standard and offers a wealth of
intelligent design features. And double and
triple glazing options mean thermal effi-
ciency can be enhanced to meet a project’s
specified standards, up to and including
0.8 W/m²K or A++.
With 82 houses being built to a de-
manding schedule, Gold Seal Windows
needed to draw on all its experience
of working on busy construction sites.
Thanks to careful project management
and effective communication, the Gold
Seal Windows’ installation team was able
to install all 900 units on time and on
budget.
