Foxton Mews, Richmond Hill
21st February 2017

BLACK MILLWORK has supplied a range of its windows and external doors to an extensive refurbishment project in Foxton Mews, Richmond Hill.

The project consists of two houses and four offices. The 6,000 sq ft building had started to show its age and was in disrepair. The task of restoring the property was handed to Harepath LLP, using Black Millwork products including double hung windows, casement windows and bespoke designed doors.

Chris Ackley, Member at Harepath said: “This renovation project represented a significant challenge to all involved. The buildings featured several unusual window and door units, which although unique, provided inadequate protection against the elements. Therefore, the challenge for us was to boost performance standards whilst retaining the property’s distinctive character.”

One of the standout features of the property was the large stable door at the front of the homes. The stable door was replaced with a mix of the company’s doors and windows to create an entirely new but complementary look for the property’s exterior. Additionally, by using a set of combination door units, it featured a stable door opening inwards and an outward opener at the other end with a fixed panel in the middle.

Gary Hutton, General Manager at Black Millwork addeed: “This project was an exciting endeavor but certain aspects of it posed an interesting challenge to ourselves and the developers. For example, the large stable door at the property needed renovation but we needed to find a suitably interesting feature to replace it with. What the developers have created with our products is very unique and visually striking.”

The developers also used a range of engineered timber flush casement windows. Manufactured from knot-free laminated engineered Baltic pine, the units come double-glazed as standard, giving a U-Value of 1.4 w/m²K. Alongside these units a number of the company’s sliding sash windows were also installed.
