Clement Windows Group recently manufactured replacement steel windows with intricately shaped heads for Welford & Wickham CE (VA) Primary School in Berkshire.

The school, which is for children aged 4-11 years old, is located between Newbury and Hungerford.  Built in 1857, the school is not listed, but it is historically significant and any alterations need to be in keeping with the original aesthetics of the building.

The project was overseen by the Diocese of Oxford and required Clement to manufacture new windows which were very different to each other.  Four different shaped ‘Gothic head’ style windows were required and each had to be templated to ensure the new steel frames provided the perfect match to the originals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new windows are a mixture of opening and fixed closed.  The opening vents are furnished with a combination of folding openers and Hampstead handles in a bronze finish with matching peg stays.

Tim Alley of the Diocese of Oxford said:

“Clement Windows demonstrated good value by winning the work by competitive tender.  They were very professional and attended when they said they would, working alongside a Building Contractor.  Work was carried out proficiently and to a high standard.  I am really pleased with the completed windows.”

The Clement EB16 new steel window range was created for use in sensitive fenestration refurbishment projects such as this where a traditional steel window look is required.  Manufactured from recycled steel, EB16 windows are available externally glazed with a 16mm unit which is ideal for Conservation Areas, Listed Buildings and other properties of historic interest.

Clement Windows Group offers an innovative range of steel windows, doors, screens and conservation rooflights for both private residences and commercial projects.

West Haven Maltings is a Grade II Listed Building located in the Central Grimsby Conservation Area in North East Lincolnshire.  A granary warehouse was constructed on the site between 1821 and 1838 and later converted for use as a maltings.  In the 1930s the original malt kiln was transformed into a billiards hall.

The Horizon Youth Zone charity recently developed the building to provide a safe, inspiring place for young people aged 8-19 (and up to 25 for those with additional needs) to spend their leisure time.  The project was delivered in partnership with North East Lincolnshire Council, English Heritage and the local business community and comprises a sports hall, climbing wall and other facilities.

Clement W20 steel windows with G+ bars were specified to replace the original metal fenestration, providing a close match to the original windows with an improved specification.  The windows are painted RAL 9016 (Traffic White) and accessorized with Brook handles powder coated to match the frames.

W20 windows were designed in the 1960s for buildings where strong, durable frames, efficient opening casements and hard wearing fittings are required.  The Clement W20 range is available with multi point locking to PAS 24 or traditional single point locking for security in Conservation Areas.

Crittall Windows has achieved PAS 24: 2022 certification for all its external steel door systems, further strengthening its commitment to security and performance.

Recently, a Corporate W20 TE® door was successfully tested to the security standard PAS 24 by UL Solutions in Telford. This result means the Corporate W20 TE® system now sits alongside the firm’s Homelight® range, which is also PAS 24 compliant.

PAS 24 is a Publicly Available Specification overseen by the British Standards Institution. It sets out a method of testing to assess the security performance of windows and doors, making sure they withstand levels of attack associated with opportunist burglary.

The Corporate W20 TE® door is a thermally enhanced evolution of Crittall’s established rolled steel system. Manufactured from galvanised steel and powder coated in a wide range of finishes, it combines slim sightlines with robust construction. The system is designed to deliver strong thermal and weather performance, achieving U values as low as 1.4 W/m²K, while retaining the characteristic profiles synonymous with the Crittall name.

Homelight®, the company’s residential steel door range, also meets PAS 24 requirements and is equipped with multi-point locking systems. Together, these certified systems provide assurance that Crittall external steel doors meet recognised security benchmarks alongside current Building Regulations.

Russell Ager, Managing Director of Crittall Windows, said: “With Corporate W20 TE® now PAS 24 certified alongside Homelight®, our full external door range meets the latest security standards, giving architects, specifiers and installers confidence in both performance and durability.”

Clement Windows Group recently manufactured the new, bespoke steel windows and doors at 30 Charing Cross Road in Central London.

The lower three floors of the building have been subject to major structural works in readiness for a new commercial tenant and now comprise a three-storey restaurant and retail unit.

Clement’s W40 range of slim, steel profiles was chosen for the arched head steel windows on the first floor.  Clement also manufactured the Jansen Economy 50 cold rolled steel sections for the beautifully detailed doors on the ground floor.

Charing Cross Road is one of London’s most bustling streets so the logistics of the project were complex.  The site is within the Covent Garden Conservation Area and the use of genuine, replacement steel windows and doors, which look just like the originals, was a condition of the renovation.

Architect Nathan Hodges commented: “Clement is always our first choice when it comes to steel framed glazing, they consistently provide an excellent service from initial design through to installation on site.  The end product is always of the highest quality.  At 30 Charing Cross Road, the building has been totally transformed by the traditionally designed shopfronts and first floor display glazing – we have a very happy client as a result.”

The Clement W40 range of steel windows and doors is perfect for metal window replacement projects where the pattern of the original fenestration is to be maintained.  These superior quality frames are manufactured from hot rolled steel profiles, which are produced from 98% recycled steel source material.

Clement manufactures external and internal single and double doors from Jansen cold formed steel profiles which meet the latest specifications for energy efficiency and fire protection and, due to their resilience, are suitable for areas of high footfall.

Clement Windows Group offers an innovative range of steel windows, doors, screens and conservation rooflights for both private residences and commercial projects.

Clement Windows Group has manufactured and installed new steel windows at a prestigious Central London apartment building.

This striking, Georgian-fronted building is located in the Harley Street Conservation Area and situated within the boundaries of the ancient Manor of St Marylebone, the history of which can be traced back to the Domesday Book in the eleventh century.  The area is rich in history and architecture, with terraced houses from different periods, ranging from the Georgian era through to the Modernist era of the 20th century.

Steel windows from the Clement EB24 range were selected because they could provide a close match to the look of the original Art Deco stye windows while offering a much improved specification.

For the particular apartment shown in the photograph below, the client opted for a dual colour option.  The windows are painted Jet Black on the outside and Traffic White on the inside to match the owner’s interior design.  The look is completed with Lodsworth handles and matching peg stays which are powder coated to match the frames.

Clement EB24 steel windows are made bespoke to individual orders.  Developed for refurbishment projects requiring a traditional steel window appearance, these slim framed, double-glazed windows offer improved thermal performance and advanced security.  Manufactured from hot rolled steel profiles which are produced from 98% recycled steel source material, they also bring sustainable credentials.

Produced in Clement’s factories which are certified to ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), the steel frames are hot dip galvanised to EN ISO BS:1461, with a polyester powder coat finish to BS:6497 2005 EN 13438 2018.

Clement Windows Group manufactures an innovative range of steel windows, doors and screens for both private residences and commercial projects.  The company also offers a selection of conservation rooflights.

The team at Clement always talks about how many different colours are available for their bespoke steel windows and doors, but did you know you can now view these in the company’s new RAL Colour Chart?

Black steel doors and windows are still a popular look, but the colour options for standard polyester powder paint in a semi gloss or matt finish at Clement are numerous.  There is also a huge range of non-standard colours, available at an extra cost.

Clement offers a dual colour finish too, where you can choose to paint the window frames different colours internally and externally.  There are complementary silicone colours and specialist metallic effect finishes are also available – speak to a sales advisor for more information.

The company uses the fabulous powder paint colours by Akzo Nobel, who are renowned global leaders in advanced performance surface coatings.  Akzo Nobel paints are highly durable and Clement’s factory specialists bake the paint on at a high temperature to give a superb finish.

Generally offered with a warranty of ten years, polyester powder coated steel windows and doors by Clement provide an average paint coating in excess of 100 microns, when the industry standard is 60 microns.  Clement’s hot dip galvanised, polyester powder coated steel frames require minimal maintenance and last for many years.

Several customers have opted for unusual colour schemes – the team at Clement has manufactured blue windows, red door screens and yellow doors in recent years!
