1930s pvcu windows
EAS Windows has completed a replacement window programme in two 1930s mansion blocks within one of Leicester’s conservation areas.
The privately owned blocks were refurbished by contractors T Denman & Sons, and the original Crittal windows with wood surrounds were replaced with pvcu replicas specially designed by EAS in the Rehau Tritec 60mm system.
The new windows have Astragal bars which echo the putty lines of the Crittal originals and were approved as a match by the Council’s conservation officer.
Pvcu was preferred over other replacement window materials for the project because of its energy efficiency potential and its low maintenance – particularly important for the managing agents Lloyd Property Management.
EAS was awarded the contract for the 250 windows on the basis of its attention to detail in the design and fabrication process and its reputation throughout Leicestershire for the quality of its customer service.
The replacement window programme was part of an overall refurbishment programme carried out in the flats which also included new work to roof coverings and improvements to the external facades.
