SAFE , STYLISH SOLUTIONS WITH TUFFX

When a customer in Leeds required an unobtrusive , safe solution for their client ’ s large split-level terrace , the answer lay with glass from TuffX .
The detached property was finished in stylish light rendering with contrasting dark window frames , including expansive glass sliding doors across the rear which open onto a split-level terrace dropping away to the grounds beyond . Glass was the obvious answer , and leading specialist glass manufacturer TuffX was chosen to supply 20m 2 of 10mm toughened safety glass with dubbed corners . TuffX , who had worked with the installer previously , was chosen for its proven track record for producing quality glass and for its reliable delivery service .
Once in place , the glass panels were topped off with a stainless steel handrail at the perfect height to rest on while gazing over the open ground beyond . In addition to being safe and unimposing , the finished balustrade helps protects occupants from the elements . And being low-maintenance means the homeowners will be able to enjoy maximum benefits from their terrace with minimal upkeep , year after year .
“ Our glass solutions are perfect for this kind of job – toughened safety glass cut that will just quietly do its job day in , day out ,” said TuffX ’ s Managing Director Graham Price . “ And with TuffX we make the whole process fuss-free . From ordering through to delivery , we ’ ll keep you up to date on the progress of your order , and we ’ re always available at the end of the phone .”

Optima casement selected for high quality housing development in Bath

1,667 Optima casement windows and entrance doors from Profile 22 were installed in 170 high quality new build homes at Mulberry Park in Bath , Somerset ; a distinctive , contemporary development of 700 high quality homes , community facilities and open spaces delivered by housing association and house-builder Curo . Located on the former Ministry of Defence Foxhill site , work started on the project in Spring 2016 and is anticipated for completion at the end of 2026 .
Optima from Profile 22 is a fully-integrated 70mm system and is available in sculptured and chamfered variations . Aesthetically , Optima casement windows offer improved sightlines and a higher glass-to-frame ratio , which was important on this project because the design specified light , airy living spaces . The system is suitable for almost any size or layout of casement window because it includes all the components for bay and bow windows and conservatories . The system comes with the widest range of ancillaries in the industry while the choice of 28 colours means the system can compete with aluminium alternatives . In this project , Anthracite Grey on white was chosen to create a contemporary look .
The system meets all requirements for thermal efficiency as standard . Intelligent design features and double and triple glazing options mean thermal efficiency can be enhanced to meet a project ’ s specified standards , up to and including 0.9 W / m ² K or A +. This was particularly important on this project because energy efficiency was a key feature on the high-quality homes .
