Fabricated from the Beaufort Secure Design system, 149 aluminium windows as well as residential doors have been specified for two blocks of flats on Uxbridge Road, Middlesex. The 70mm direct fix, tilt and turn aluminium windows in a brown Syntha Pulvin colour coated finish were employed. The exact colour choice was available as the company offers some 500 finishes in its range. The product was selected not only for its ease of cleaning, but also because the gearing was able to accommodate the extra weight of the glass used for windows at the front of the building. Traffic meant that glass with specialist acoustic properties was chosen to reduce noise pollution. Additionally, the doors on the ground floor are laminated for extra security.

Replacement aluminium windows and doors from Beaufort Secure Design have been installed at the Holiday Inn, Southampton. Cristal Superline Products (CSP) completed the fabrication and installation of nearly 500 frames in a white powder coated finish at the nine-storey hotel. The new aluminium windows replace a mix of single glazed aluminium and pvc-u fenestration. CSP has also installed four-panel patio doors fabricated from the Beaufort system, which lead onto the hotel?s terrace from the restaurant. The local planning department stipulated that the new windows should match the existing frames as closely as possible. With its slim profile, aluminium offered a solution and, being a strong and rigid material, it could also satisfy the high wind loading requirements of the large window area. Heavy duty direct fix outer frames with top hung restricted openers were specified for the project, together with a tilt and turn option for the staircase and landing windows. The glazing includes 4mm grey tinted glass.
