Quality added to autism
care facility in Bolton
Arctic Glass, the Blackburn
based fabricator and installer, recently completed
a major project for the Bolton Autism Unit, a purpose
built facility for autistic
children.
Arctic installed 102 windows
and 15 doors for Seddon Construction. Arif Roker, MD of
Arctic, believes it was the quality
and look of Deceuninck’s products which clinched the deal:
“We had worked on healthcare
projects before,” says Arif, “and
we knew quality and aesthetics
would be essential. Seddon were
so impressed by the samples we
showed them they broke away
from their approved supplier list
and invited us to tender – and we
won the contract.”
The anti-ligature hardware
specified for all the windows was
an unusual feature of the project.
Arif explains: “It’s a unique
concept in PVC windows, so we
had to adapt the window for the
required hardware, which called
for some unorthodox manufac-
turing techniques! But we knew
Deceuninck’s profiles would be
up to the job and the end result
looks good and works well.”
Arctic Glass has used Deceuninck since 1992 when the
company was founded by Arif’s
father. “Deceuninck offers superior quality,” says Arif, “others in
the market don’t compare.”
