Some 200 Spectus casement windows were installed in Redbrick Mill, a former steam-powered woollen mill in Batley, West Yorks, more recently converted into a furniture and interiors outlet.
The manufacture and installation was given to Spectus Approved Window Contractor, Jade Windows (Brighouse). The contract required the fabrication and installation of 200 bespoke 3 metre x 3 metre casement windows with arched frames to replicate the aesthetics of the building’s original timber frames. The windows were manufactured in Anthracite Grey with Georgian bar detailing. All products were manufactured in the 70mm Spectus Bevelled system.
The Spectus Bevelled system can achieve a Window Energy Rating of Band A++ and U values as low as 0.8W/(m2K). The chosen colour palette perfectly replicated the required aesthetics and delivered a ‘crittall’ window effect which has long been associated with Art Deco and Modernist movements in early 20th Century architecture. All products were manufactured to PAS24:2016 standard.
Ryan Fozard, Sales Manager at Jade Windows said: “The iconic store has been completely transformed. The bespoke windows perfectly blend with the historic architecture of the former mill and the chosen aesthetics pay homage to its industrial heritage. We are delighted to have worked on this prominent project and once again, the quality and reliability of the Spectus system has delivered at every level. This is a symbolic stand-out building in Batley and we are proud of the finished results.”
