UK's leading aluminium specialist dines out on latest project
Posted on 28/02/2014
One of the UK’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of specialist aluminium windows and doors has seen its products specified in two prestigious restaurant projects.
CDW Systems supplied a number of its doors to two very high end restaurants on the island of Guernsey, at the tail end of 2013.
One of the projects was an extension at the Auberge restaurant. CDW Systems worked together with Guernsey Glass to supply and install high-performance ST commercial doors that were marine grade powder coated.
Also completed at the tail-end of 2013 was the building of Vistas restaurant. CDW Systems supplied SAPA Dualframe, Stormframe and Beaufort aluminium bi-folding doors that were marine grade powder coated and included specialised laminated glass to stop rocking.
Both projects were completed on -time and on-budget and Jerry Webb, CDW Systems’ Managing Director, believes they highlight a growing trend.
Jerry comments: “We’ve been saying for a long time now that aluminium is a huge growth market and these two projects represent this trend. And as the UK economy returns to growth this year we expect more speculative developments, extensions and renovations to take place both in the commercial and domestics sector.
“This provides installers with a huge opportunity as aluminium windows and doors are in demand, especially at the middle to higher end where property owners are looking to add value and create wow factor.”
Chris Wrench, who is Managing Director of Guernsey Glass, comments on another successful collaboration with CDW Systems.
He said: “We’ve been working with CDW Systems for a number of years now. They know the commercial aluminium sector inside out and the whole process of design, installation, planning and completion is effortless
“A lot of PVC-u fabricators are moving into aluminium but experience is everything as manufacturing aluminium products is nothing like PVC-u. CDW Systems have been specialists for over twenty years in this sector and as a quality firm ourselves, we only want the best.”
CDW Systems have been in business for twenty-one years and manufacture and supply a wide range of windows, doors, shop fronts and curtain walling, using some of the leading aluminium profile systems on the market today, including Sapa, ALUK and Smarts.
The specialist aluminium fabricator brings to market new products yearly; and this year rolling out its new PassivHaus approved patio door that can accommodate up to 400kg of glass.
In February this year experienced a record month of trading – with turnover reaching £600k during this period alone.
