The Broadway Tower team chose local
fabricator, Cotswold Windows to supply
and install an aluminium lift and slide door,
alongside a selection of Schuco windows
and entrance doors.
“They provide lots of natural light and
enable visitors to see in before they enter
the building,” continues, Tower Barn,
speaking of the new windows and doors.
“The sliding doors are fantastic and make
it easier for customers and the team to
access the rear terraced area without
doors opening in and out.”
The aluminium profile used to fabricate the
windows and doors was powder coated
using a carefully selected RAL colour to
complement the Cotswold stone and oak
beams.
The installation required Cotswold
Windows to draw on its experience in
handling and installing large glazed items
in areas with restricted access. The bigger
units had to be craned into position while a
mini crane was used in the courtyard.
In such an exposed location, thermal
performance and weather tightness were
key factors in the specification of the glass.
Cotswold Windows used 8.8mm laminate
and 8mm toughened, low emissivity
(Low-E) glass for the large format lift and
slide doors, which offers superior thermal
insulation.
“Cotswold Windows have been fantastic
throughout, providing the different options
required to realise the look for Tower Barn,
and completing the work in a clean and
timely manner. They have also been very
helpful with some questions we have had
since the install.
“The overall look of Tower Barn is beautiful,
and we get so many people asking where
our windows etc. came from. It is lovely
to have used local companies who we can
name when asked!”
Tower Barn consists of a retail area selling
clothes, footwear and home accessories,
and an espresso / prosecco bar. The
barn also hosts a visitor centre with a
programme of workshops and e-bikes
available for hire.
