BUILDING FABRIC & EXTERIORS REHAU used for luxury houseboat installation
REHAU windows and doors have been installed in a luxury houseboat in Belfast, providing a clean and bright finish to the Scandinavian inspired boat, while keeping it cosy and warm inside. Now listed on Air B&B as one of the top featured properties in Northern Ireland, the boat – affectionately known as Nolly – was once destined for the scrapyard. She was rescued by newly retired couple Gillian and David Campbell, who bought the barge as a renovation project with the intention of transforming her into a houseboat to be moored in the marina of Belfast’s Titanic Quarter. As well as being a home for the Campbell’s, it can also be rented out as two apartments. While some of the boat’s original portholes could be salvaged for reuse on internal doors and walls, the exterior windows all needed replacing with new ones. When consulting with the project team about options, Gillian was very particular about the aesthetics of the new windows and also their ability to retain heat and reduce condensation. Gillian was advised on the window and door specification by REHAU’s trade counter partner in Belfast, Windowmate Thomas McAllister, Sales Manager for Windowmate in Northern Ireland explored a number of options for the houseboat and ultimately recommended the REHAU TOTAL70 range. The casement and fixed windows could be easily installed in the steel frame of the boat and offered a high U-value for excellent thermal efficiency.

Fascia and Soffit Complements Extension
T
he property based in Chelsfield, Orpington was having a kitchen-diner refurbishment and extension in a modern contemporary design. Dickens Developments – the contractor on site contacted ARP’s Area Sales Manager – David Capel, as they had met at a previous site.
David was invited to a site meeting,
where the extension was surveyed and the various Trueline fascia and soffit options were discussed.
Having completed the site survey, David provided a full quotation and Dickens Developments were then able to use their local Jewson’s at Orpington to fulfil the order. The bespoke Trueline Fascias and
Soffits were made to measure in our in-house production facility, with CAD/CAM drawings produced and signed off by the client prior to going into production. The fascia profiles

were polyester powder coated in matt black RAL 9005 with an over trim covering the fixings on the fascia. The finish was completed with prefabricated corners.
These products were chosen as they suited the modern contemporary style of the extension, but also ties in with the windows and complements the overall design.
Aluminium was the perfect choice for the fascia and soffits on this property as it is strong, durable and non-corrosive.
With the ability to match the coating to the other elements of the building, ensures that the system blends with the rest of the property. Aluminium not only enhances the design elements of the extension, but will extend the buildings life span. ARP are happy to work with clients who purchase through merchants, and can offer site surveys and site measures to help expedite the order.
