Specialist aluminium fabricator Fentrade has demonstrated the skill of its team on a recent project for longstanding customer Windows Are Us.

The project involved the manufacture of several aluminium screens and doors using the Jack Aluminium SD70 Heritage system. These frames needed to be custom-manufactured to fit an entire corner of a building. Additionally, one side of the building featured three different levels, yet every astragal bar and transom needed to align perfectly, ensuring the high end aesthetics were delivered.

Chris Reeks, Managing Director at Fentrade, takes up the story: “It was back to the drawing board for the Fentrade team! We went old-school, using graph paper and pencils to carefully calculate the dimensions across the frames as a whole. Even a single miscalculation would have thrown the entire project off balance, so absolute precision was critical.”

The Fentrade team worked closely with Windows Are Us and their trade customer to ensure every detail was meticulously addressed. This dedication extended to revising the layout from scratch to accommodate changes in the overall frame dimensions, ensuring the project’s precision and quality remained uncompromised.

The results have more than justified the effort involved. The Jack Aluminium SD70 Heritage system has given the homeowner the traditional aesthetics they desired, along with the modern advantages of contemporary aluminium glazing. At the same time, the meticulous calculations and precision manufacturing have ensured that every sightline aligned perfectly, delivering the exceptional high-quality finish the project demanded.

Chris concluded: “There were countless hours of work involved in this project, and seeing the finished result brings immense satisfaction. It looks outstanding and stands as a true testament to the skills and expertise of the Fentrade team.”
