Tri-colour challenge
12th May 2015

Essex-based installation company, Silika Ltd, used a little expertise from KÖMMERLING manufacturer Climatec Windows for the replacement of a number of non-thermally broken, two-tone aluminium windows in a retirement block in Chelmsford.

The existing windows to the former housing manager’s flat were replaced initially, which resulted in two further enquiries from other residents. Given the colours of the original windows and the need to make a direct replacement, the Kömmerling windows were sprayed in RAL 8014 (brown) for the outer frames and RAL 1019 (cream) for the sashes, including trickle vents, while the inside of the windows were left white at the request of the residents.

Climatec Windows used the C70 Gold system from Kömmerling with its latest slim sash for reduced sightlines and the windows were also triple glazed.

Silika director Rod Charnick said: “This was a unique project for us, given the need to colour match, offer incredible levels of energy efficiency and the need for sound reduction. Thanks to Climatec and Kömmerling, we satisfied all the requirements, to the delight of the residents.”

Kömmerling head of sales and marketing Kevin Warner added: “This job by Silika shows that a little lateral thinking and commitment by them and Climatec can result in a product designed to the most exacting of standards and that’s also what Kömmerling’s all about. This must be the first tri-coloured installation in browns and creams that I’ve ever seen!”
