Ventrolla, heritage restorer and renovator of timber sash and casement windows, has completed the works on 66 windows at the grade 2 listed ‘The Bank’, an iconic building in Cardiff.
The Bank was originally built by the Cory brothers in 1874 and is considered a key part of Cardiff Bay’s heritage. When property developers, Quin & Co took over the building, they were looking to renovate the property and transform it into 15 luxury two-bed apartments and a penthouse. At the forefront of the development was sympathetic, careful restoration to retain the character of the property.
John Pinn, director of Quinn & Co, said; “On a project of this scale, it’s of vital importance that we can work with suppliers who we can completely rely on as experts in their field. Ventrolla’s highly skilled craftsmanship, Listed Buildings expertise and attention to detail ensured that the work ran smoothly. We’re delighted with the windows in The Bank – they match the overall high-end finish of our project, and we know that the heritage of this iconic building has been preserved for generations to come.”
Mark Flanagan, Managing Director of Ventrolla, added; “Being given the opportunity to work on a property like The Bank was a real honour. We worked meticulously to maintain the look of the windows whilst improving the WER and heat retention, so our bespoke approach, coupled with our experience in commercial projects and the planning landscape, made us a perfect partner.”
