Armed with a deep understanding of its products and broad knowledge of a wide range of commercial applications, Window Ware is fully equipped to support contractors with practical hardware advice that’s guaranteed to set them up for success and total satisfaction all round!
This expert support proved crucial for one Warwick-based specialist aluminium glazing provider who approached the award-winning hardware provider for help with sourcing glazed-in louvres for a school build project.
Having won the contract to supply and fit the doors and windows for a new-build sixth form centre at Heathfield Girl’s School in Ascot, the customer needed some advice to ensure their installation met every specification. And that’s where Window Ware came in.
The project called for robust, glazed-in aluminium louvres custom made to fit at the head of the aluminium windows, complete with composite insulated infill panels on the inner face that could be adapted by contractors on site for fitting to extract ducting.
They also needed to be 28mm thick to accommodate standard double-glazed sealed safety glass units, deliver a minimum available air opening of 44% and match the RAL colour of the specified window system.
The expert team at Window Ware were able to provide the perfect solution in the form of custom-made DucoGrille Solid F30Z aluminium glazed-in louvres. The 28mm louvre grilles were supplied with insulated panels and custom polyester powder coated in RAL7044 matt to a durable marine-grade thickness of 60-80 microns with a 10-year paint warranty as standard and delivered direct to site.
Rich Fraser, Window Ware’s Business Development Manager for aluminium and commercial said: “The customer needed our help with interpreting a 237-page preamble and architectural specification to identify and source the most appropriate aluminium glazed-in louvre solution capable of meeting the architect’s requirements exactly. And we were happy to be of service!”
