Profile 22 ’ s Optima windows and doors selected for care home and assisted living apartments
|
Over 300 Optima casement windows and 60 doors from Profile 22 have been manufactured and installed in a new 85-bed care home and 45 assisted living apartments in Sutton Coldfield . The developer is renowned for delivering exceptional quality projects , which meant suppliers had to meet exacting standards and quality specifications .
The window and door contract were awarded to Sutton Designs in Kingstanding , Birmingham , with manufacturing undertaken by Profile 22 ’ s Approved Commercial Manufacturer , Central Window Systems in West Bromwich . The two companies had worked on previous care projects , which meant that as well as being able to
|
demonstrate their ability to meet the tender requirements for this project they also brought a proven track record .
The window and door system specified for the project was award-winning Optima from Profile 22 . The high-specification system comes with an impressive set of credentials and design flexibility to meet all commercial
|
project requirements . In this project , all windows were fitted with open-out restrictors for the safety or the residents and all window and doors needed to comply with fire and smoke escape protection measures .
Optima offers market-leading structural strength and high-security features and casement windows are PAS24:2016 approved as standard which was important to meet the project specification .
The windows and doors were manufactured in Anthracite Grey on White to match other developments in the building contractor ’ s portfolio and create a sleek , modern aluminium aesthetic .

Freefoam Building Products recently visited a homeowner to see how PVC cladding has both updated the property and ensured it is warm and comfortable for years to come . Using Freefoam Fortex Double Shiplap cladding , in the very popular Sage Green , Tru Plastics have transformed this home in Coalville , Leicestershire .
The couple had lived at the property for over 10 years , and had both recently retired . They wanted to improve the look of the house and install insulation but also wanted to ensure they fitted a low maintenance solution . They researched various cladding options and came across Freefoam ’ s consumer focused website , mycladding . com .

The existing ‘ tudor ’ style timber boards were very discoloured and needed replacing . The front aspect of the property faces Northwest , so the living room often felt cooler that than the rest of the house . PVC cladding is fast becoming the ‘ ultimate ’ home improvement product . Installers are finding it is lighter and easier to handle than other cladding products . It requires no surface preparation or treatment saving time and expense on repeat visits and extended scaffold hire – install and go .

R2 , from The Residence Collection , is experiencing a surge in demand as both consumers and trade partners look to embrace the ultimate aluminium alternative window and door system , packed with unique design features and outstanding performance credentials .
R2 is the architectural highlight of The Residence Collection , and like R9 , shares the same 100mm platform front to back , 9 chambers and the same external dimensions , but instead of a period inspired outer frame , there ’ s one that ’ s distinctly square . Other window frames typically offer 3 or 5 chambers and are usually 70mm systems looking almost identical inside . R2 offers bold design differences , with superior thermal , acoustic , strength and security performances .
With consumers looking to invest in high end products and with average installation prices on the rise , the move to better products is inevitable . R2 is the ultimate architectural window and door system that boasts outstanding sound reduction and energy efficiency credentials . As a double-glazed option , a U-value of 1.2 W /( m 2 K ) is easily achieved and through a dedicated triple glazing bead , a Passivhaus standard of 0.79 W /( m 2 K ) can also be met .
The design platform of The Residence Collection also features gaskets to the sash only , leaving the glazing rebate on the frame beautifully clean and there are a number of coloured and grained options including both solid and dual foiled finishes on a coloured rebate . In particular , the Eclectic Grey finish provides the ultimate design statement and is the only true aluminium alternative window and door system . Bead options include square , decorative and staff in 28 and 44mm options .
