Doors, Windows & Glazing
Designer Contracts has invested more than £30,000 in specialist blind making machinery to manufacture blinds through the new arm of the business – designer shades. Peter Kelsey, MD of Designer Contracts said, “This investment further enhances our central curtain making facility which enables us to manage the production process from start to finish. It means that we keep our costs as low as possible to the benefit of all our customers, underpinning our promise of supplying our range of products at the most competitive price, as well as improving lead times by using our in-house transport fleet.”

Combining a robust design, excellent acoustic properties and some of the lowest U-values available on the UK market, Senior Architectural Systems’ innovative PURe® range of aluminium windows has been specified for use on several new projects in the student accommodation sector. One of the largest contracts to feature Senior’s PURe® aluminium windows is The Courtyard scheme at the University of Hull. Comprising five separate blocks based around two central courtyards, the development has been designed by GSS Architecture and offers a range of facilities in addition to high-specification student accommodation. The extensive fenestration package, which was installed by Glass and Framing Solutions (GFS) also features Senior’s thermally efficient SF52 aluminium curtain walling. Further additions to Senior’s growing order book of contracts in this sector include two new student residences in Sheffield. Located close to the city’s universities, the new Sharman Court scheme on Sheffield’s Broad Lane offers students high-specification accommodation in a central location. Here, Continental Installations Ltd fabricated and installed Senior’s PURe® aluminium windows for main contractor Watkins Jones and architects Kelsey Design Associates. The Printworks is another example of purpose-built modern student living. Senior’s PURe® windows and SCW curtain walling have been installed throughout the six-storey building by fabricators.
