Securistyle Supplies Eastleigh Borough Council
26th June 2012

Window and door hardware manufacturer Securistyle, has recently supplied its Parallel Hinge System for 460 replacement windows in the Wessex House office block in Eastleigh Borough Council.

Matthew Aldridge, Building Surveyor for Eastleigh Borough Council explains why the renovation was needed and what was involved: “The office space was previously open plan which allowed air to flow through, but the building was segregated into individual units and as a result suffered with poor ventilation. The windows would be opened to assist airflow around individual offices however this was not sufficient in hot weather. We researched our options for new windows and had a sample window made and installed in January. The occupants of the building noticed the benefits of the windows, which included improved ventilation.”
Les Maros, Sales Manager at Securistyle comments: “Wessex House was a great project to be involved in alongside our partner Marco Architectural Aluminium. This is one of the largest contracts we have supplied with our Parallel Hinge System in the UK. The hinges were installed on new aluminium windows using the Smarts profile and the end result was a big hit with the occupants of the building. Our Parallel hinges allow natural ventilation through an open window, while limiting the opening to make the windows more secure and to prevent occupants from falling. The hinge is manufactured from high grade 304 austenitic stainless steel for strength and excellent corrosion resistance.”
