Regeneration project converting an ageing factory/warehouse building into high specification start-up offices with centralised reception and catering facilities etc.
We were commissioned to support a major regeneration project, converting an ageing factory and warehouse building into modern, high-specification start-up offices. The refurbishment included the creation of a centralised reception area, catering facilities, and flexible office spaces designed to meet the evolving needs of new businesses.
The client requested dual-coloured aluminium window frames to harmonise with existing products on site—White on the interior faces for a clean, bright finish, and Anthracite Grey on the exterior to provide a contemporary, high-quality appearance. Our team carefully manufactured and installed the dual-colour frames, ensuring a seamless finish that enhanced the overall aesthetics of the building while maintaining the robust performance standards required for commercial environments.
As part of the specification, two windows were required to be fire-rated to 30 minutes. This was a critical safety requirement, as the fire escape staircase from the first floor passed directly across these windows. We supplied and installed specialist fire-rated aluminium units, fully compliant with building regulations, providing both safety and peace of mind while maintaining visual continuity with the other windows.
All installations were completed in close collaboration with the client and contractor, meeting the project deadlines and ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing construction works. The quality, durability, and precision engineering of the aluminium systems have elevated the facility, creating a professional, modern workspace for start-ups and new businesses.
Further phases of the regeneration project are planned in the near future, and we look forward to continuing our partnership, providing innovative aluminium solutions that combine aesthetics, performance, and compliance.
