Clement Windows Group has supplied rooflights from its Clement Conservation Rooflights range for 1-5 St Paul’s Square in Birmingham.

This historic Georgian building is home to multiple office units and a landmark venue known as The Jam House.  Opened in 1999 by Jools Holland designer and Neil Tibbat, the multi award winning venue offers live music and fine dining.

Eleven rooflights from the Clement 3, Clement 4 and Clement side hung ranges, all in a slate profile, were installed at the venue.

Richard Clews from Jubb Clews Ltd, who were the architects working on the project, said:

“1-5 St Paul’s Square is a Grade II Listed Building in Central Birmingham that was constructed in c1780 as town houses around a classic Georgian Square.

The project included repairing the traditional slate roofs and lead-lined parapet gutters.  Key design considerations included improving thermal performance and increasing the capacity of rainwater disposal to accommodate modern storm surges whilst remaining sympathetic to the traditional architectural details.  The works were funded from the planned maintenance budget.

Clement Conservation Rooflights were perfectly suited to this application.  Several of the top hung windows were used for the upper floors whilst the side hung windows were used for the roof maintenance access.”

Manufactured for either a slate or a tile profile and available in eight standard sizes, Clement Conservation Rooflights are constructed from strong mild steel sheet for extra strength, and coated in polyzinc and polyester powder paint for durability.

The rooflights comprise high performance, argon filled, 24mm insulated glass units and come with a revolutionary warm T bar system.  Available with several glazing options, including self-cleaning glass as standard, Clement’s rooflights are manufactured to EN ISO 9001 standards and rigorously tested against air, wind and rain to BS6375.  They have achieved a BFRC Window Energy Rating of A+.

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

Clement Windows Group has manufactured new, thermally broken steel windows and steel doors for an office building in Central London.

The existing commercial premises at 22-23 Little Portland Street comprised ground, basement and four upper floors.  Robson Warren Architects were briefed to design a scheme to improve the office facilities and services to enable the building to attract further tenants.

It was important that any proposals took account of the environmental sustainability of the works and their impact on the property which is located in the East Marylebone Conservation Area.

Clement manufactured bespoke steel windows and doors from the Jansen Janisol Arte 2 and Jansen Janisol HI ranges.  The new windows and doors comprised thermally broken steel windows, thermally broken French doors and thermally broken, triple glazed lift and slide doors.

Peter Warren of Robson Warren Architects commented:

“The installation was completed to our satisfaction without any significant issues, and we would not hesitate to return to Clement Windows for enquiries about future steel-framed window projects.”

Clement manufactures slender Jansen steel profile window and doors which meet the highest requirements of thermal insulation, security and fire protection, as well as mechanical strength and longevity.  Suitable for restoration work as well as new build projects, the slim frames can be fitted into all opening types.  Steel doors manufactured from Jansen cold formed steel profiles are very resilient and therefore suitable for areas of high footfall.

Church renovation project transformed by Clement’s steel door screen with matching steel window

Clement Windows Group has manufactured and installed a large, bespoke, striking steel door screen and feature steel window for St Paul’s Church in Leeds.

The steel screen incorporates a pair of double doors, providing light and airiness.  Both the door set and the new steel window are made from Clement EB24 steel sections which include double glazed, argon filled glass units.  The fenestration is polyester powder painted RAL 7016 (Anthracite Grey) and features pull handles with satin stainless finish.

Vicar, Mark Harlow, said of the project: “St Paul’s Church embarked on a major refurbishment of their 60 year old building to make a warm and welcoming, adaptable space while keeping to the original architect’s ideas.  A key part of the brief was to widen the entrance corridor and allow light into one end. This has all been more than achieved using Clement’s metal frame windows and doors. These have helped create an additional space for people to meet and mix. The narrow profile of the frames has allowed maximum light and visual access between the spaces, while the rhythm of the glazing bars both modernises and blends with the architecture of the main worship space.”

Architect, Tom Robbins of Pearce Bottomley Architects, commented: “We have worked with Clement on a number of projects and have been very pleased with the service we have received and the quality of their products.  They supplied the steel framed glazed screen and feature window at St Paul’s Church, Ireland Wood, Leeds and we couldn’t have been happier with the result.  We also specify Clement’s conservation rooflights whenever we can, as we are of the opinion that they are the best on the market.”

Crittall’s Architectural Design and Consultancy Service

Crittall’s Window Display

A town centre shopping mall in Stroud, Gloucestershire, has been given a new lease of life with Crittall playing a significant role in the makeover.

Dransfield Properties opted for a complete transformation of the Five Valleys Shopping Centre to include new retail outlets, as well as enhanced car parking, office space and a community hub with library.

Key to the interior appeal was replacing a jumble of disparate shopfronts and signage with a more ordered, modern appearance. Sheffield-based Dixon Dawson Architects selected Crittall W20 steel profiles for the task.

“The client wanted a particular style of glazing. I was familiar with Crittall and saw it as the best solution,” said Guy Dixon Dawson. “The whole mall was remodelled; frankly it was a bit of a mess beforehand. Now, everything, ceiling to floor, has been upgraded.”

The result is a simplified approach with Crittall’s slender steel profiled windows and doors providing a uniform appearance. All the cold form doors were a mix of hinged and automatic sliders

Clement Conservaton Rooflights chosen for Grade II listed landmark restoration project

Stapehill Abbey is a unique estate consisting of 45 two to five bedroom homes.  Set within beautiful gardens, these recently converted Grade II listed properties near Wimborne in Dorset are magnificent.

The original Abbey House was built in the early 19th century, with the monastic buildings dating back to the 1840s.  The twin chapels were designed by Charles Hansom in 1847 and construction was completed in 1851.  Founded by a small group of nuns, led by Madame Augustine de Chabannes, the Abbey was home to The Cross Abbey order of Cistercian Trappist nuns between 1802 and 1990.

In 1990, the Abbey was acquired by Stapehill Enterprises and run as a popular rural life museum, craft centre and farmyard depicting life in rural England and Victorian times until 2008.

Dorset based developers, Ankers and Rawlings, acquired the Abbey in 2015 and have worked painstakingly to retain the original artefacts and period features of this historic site.  Within the development original quarry flagstones and terracotta tiles have been incorporated and an original Pugin Stone Cross has been retained to truly emphasise the character of the development.

Over 60 Clement Conservation Rooflights were chosen for the project, including both slate and tile profiles in sizes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Garry Hunter of Ankers and Rawlings commented:

“The homes at Stapehill Abbey have a mixture of slate and tile roofs.  We chose Clement Conservation Rooflights as we needed a product that would look perfect in both.  We are really delighted with the end result and hope to use Clement’s rooflights again in the future.”

Manufactured for either a slate or a tile profile, the beauty of Clement skylights is that they lie flush with your roofline giving a neat finish.

Available in eight standard sizes, Clement Conservation Rooflights are constructed using mild steel sheet which makes them particularly strong.  The surface is coated in polyzinc and then polyester powder paint for durability and to give the rooflights a good-looking finish.

Clement’s roof windows are made from high performance, argon filled, 24mm insulated glass units and come with a revolutionary warm T bar system.  Available with several glazing options, including self-cleaning glass as standard, Clement’s rooflights are manufactured to EN ISO 9001 standards and rigorously tested against air, wind and rain to BS6375.  They have achieved a BFRC Window Energy Rating of A+.

The standard range of rooflights is generally available for delivery 2-3 working days.  If one of the standard sizes is not appropriate, bespoke options are also available.

The Clement Windows Group manufactures an innovative range of steel windows, doors, screens and rooflights for both private residences and commercial projects.  Based just outside London in Surrey, Clement’s window products can be seen in a number of prestigious projects across the UK and abroad.  Prominent examples include Old Marylebone Town Hall in London, The Pithay in Bristol, Norwich City Hall, the University of Manchester and the Eldorado Building in New York’s Manhattan.

A Cornish brewery has moved into renovated premises that give visitors a whole new experience of watching the creation of their favourite beers with Crittall Windows playing a crucial role in the new concept.

Verdant Brewery took over a rundown warehouse on a Penryn industrial estate and, in addition to installing the brewing vats, created 400 sq. metres for staff offices and a space for public use, dubbed the Taproom.

The new interior was created around a steel-framed installation with Crittall Corporate W20 windows providing a light and contemporary area where visitors can have a beer and something to eat while enjoying views through to the working brewery, a paramount consideration of the client.

In addition, The Taproom provides a mezzanine balcony overlooking an area that can also be used for entertainment from a DJ or with live music. The design was produced by locally-based architects Zelah Studio.

Said architect James Collins; “We used the W20 system as it allowed great flexibility and a quality industrial look that the client wanted. Large expanses of the glazing allowed us to create views of the brewery from all spaces.”

Clement Windows Group was selected to manufacture and install almost 1,000 double glazed steel windows at the India Buildings in Liverpool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The India Buildings is located on Water Street in the centre of the city’s financial and business district.  Designed by architects Arnold Thornely and Herbert J Rowse in response to a competition to design an office block which was judged by the great English architect, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, it was built between 1924 and 1932 for the Blue Funnel shipping line.  The building’s design is influenced by the Italian Renaissance style and it has several features of the American Beaux-Arts style.

Having sustained damage during World War II the building was restored to its original state after the war under the supervision of Rowse, one of the original architects.

In 2017, the Grade II* Listed Building was purchased by Legal & General and it was announced that HMRC would base a regional centre there.  Renovation works commenced with the focus on creating modern, comfortable office space while retaining the heritage features of the building.

Clement was chosen to manufacture and install the new double glazed steel windows which match the original single glazed metal windows and improve thermal performance and energy use within the historic building. Almost 1,000 windows from the Clement MW40 range were specified, polyester powder painted RAL 9106 (White).

Alex Harrison of architects Falconer Chester Hall said:

“We had the pleasure of working with Clement on the steel window replacements of the India Building refurbishment project.  Their performance in every aspect of the work was outstanding and we wholeheartedly endorse them for any future contracts of a similar nature.  One specific area where Clement excelled during the early stages, was the support we received from them during our discussions with the city planners regarding the bespoke windows.  Their contribution proved very useful in moving matters forward and the end result is exceptional.”

Clement Windows Group was recently selected to supply and install new custom-made steel windows and steel door screens at 90-104 Berwick Street in Central London.

Berwick Street is a lively, diverse community, built between 1687 and 1703.  Running between Oxford Street to the north and Peter Street to the south, it is well known for its thriving market which was established in the 18thcentury, making it one of the oldest markets in London.

The buildings at 90-104 Berwick Street have been transformed from an unattractive 1950s block into a stylish, contemporary mixed use development.  As the building is situated within the Soho Conservation Area and part of the Core Central Activities Zone, it was vital that any changes made were in keeping with the surroundings.

Clement’s steel frames form the shop fronts on the ground level.  A combination of products was specified, from both hot rolled and cold formed steel profiles, all with polyester powder surface coatings.  These included the Clement W40 steel windows which sit beside and above the Jansen Economy 50 single and double doors and the Jansen Economy 60 range of bi fold doors.

Project Manager Ben Styles commented:

“The Clement W40 steel windows and the Jansen Economy doors provided us with the slender, elegant frames we wanted for this Central London development, giving the shop fronts a contemporary look while remaining true to the urban origins of the site.  Clement delivered to our timescales, and we would use them again.”

The Clement W40 steel window is ideal for larger projects where the pattern of the original fenestration is to be maintained.  Preferred by architects for metal window refurbishments due to the advanced strength of the steel, providing strong, durable frames, efficient opening casements and robust fittings, the windows in this range are produced from 98% recycled steel source material.

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

Cheers! Crittall boosts brewery transformation

Described as Dorchester’s most iconic building, the Brewery – once the source of the much-quaffed Eldridge Pope ales – has been transformed into a high-end residential setting with Crittall windows playing a central role in retaining the heritage aesthetic of this historic structure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For nearly a century and a half the building, with its tall chimney, towered above the Dorset town as a symbol of local industry and prosperity. Designed by architect WR Crickmay, the brick building was completed in 1880. At a staggering 13% the brewery’s Thomas Hardy Ale once featured in the Guinness Book of Records as the strongest commercially brewed beer in the country.

The brewery eventually closed in 2003 and the site remained unused until, in 2007, planning permission was granted for a new public square overlooked by the impressive building, restored to its former glory containing 29 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

LMA Architecture of Bournemouth has retained many of the unique features of the original building including riveted steel beams, cast iron columns and exposed brickwork.  Crittall W20 steel windows and doors were a natural choice, glazed in small panes to replicate the original configuration of the tall brewery windows.
