168 STELLAR FLUSH CASEMENT WINDOWS INSTALLED IN A HIGH-END LONDON APARTMENT BLOCK

Experienced Stellar fabricator and installer Capital Windows has just completed the manufacture and installation of 168 Stellar Flush Casement Windows as part of a complete commercial refurbishment of a prestigious private apartment block in a sought-after area of North London’s NW2.

The original crittal style windows of the red-brick apartment block had lost their aesthetic appeal and were poorly insulated. Stellar from Epwin Window Systems was selected to replace the windows because of the system’s high-end aesthetics and, more importantly, its ability to achieve the thermal requirements of Part L with standard double-glazed units.

The windows were manufactured in Anthracite Grey on both sides to give the building an updated aesthetic and sophisticated appeal. The project took 12 weeks from start to finish and has completely transformed the building’s appearance and thermal efficiency. Peter Adams, General Manager at Capital Windows, said: “This project is the perfect example of the transformational benefits of

New Dekko Sales Manager To Spearhead Leading Aluminium Range

Leading trade supplier Dekko Window Systems has appointed a new sales manager in order to help streamline processes and spearhead growth within the company’s aluminium division.

Paul Schofield joins the company with over 16 years of industry experience, having previously worked as a commercial sales manager in the window, door, and conservatory markets.

In his new role at Dekko, Paul will be focusing on Räum, the company’s luxury aluminium range of windows and doors, and will be responsible for promoting new products and supporting customers with their buying journey.

Paul comments: “Over the past few months, Dekko has invested in its Räum range, adding new premium products, such as the Decalu 88 bi-fold and entrance door, in order to better equip its customers to get ahead in a very competitive market.

“In addition, thanks to an acquisition by leading European group Inwido and the launch of an innovative – and world first – fully seamless window, Dekko has experienced a very successful past 12 months, and I’m delighted to be taking on this role at such an exciting time in the company’s history.

“Thanks to my previous roles, I come to Dekko with plenty of experience in sales, business development and account management, and I very much look forward to helping the company achieve growth and hit sales targets, establish productive relationships with suppliers, and build longlasting customer relations.”

Dekko Sales Director Kurt Greatrex comments: “I’m extremely pleased to be working with Paul in his new role as sales manager. The huge success we’ve enjoyed over the last few years has only been possible because of the talented, dedicated people we employ. Add to that Paul’s skills and experience, combined with a growing demand for the premium aluminium home improvement products we manufacture, and I’m confident that the year ahead will be another successful one for Dekko.” Visit www.dekkowindows.com.

Stellar. The upgrade has helped to enhance the value of the apartments in the block and made them more comfortable to live in.”

Capital Windows of Uxbridge, Greater London works with domestic, trade and commercial sectors throughout the South-East of England. For over 40 years the company has positioned itself as a specialist designer, supplier and installer of the latest generation of technically advanced window and door products. It has been manufacturing Stellar, which it markets under the brand name Evoke, since 2020. Peter said: “We were an early adopter of the Stellar aluminium system as we were impressed with the unique flush aesthetics which has been instrumental in securing several large-scale domestic contracts. However, the thermal performance of Stellar is second to none, and as a result, we have won several commercial projects as the system easily complies with Part L of Building Regulations without complicated workarounds.”

The multi-award-winning Stellar from Epwin Window Systems was predominantly designed for the domestic market, but since the changes to Part L of Building Regulations last year, it has been rapidly gaining traction across commercial projects. This is because the system features the patented reverse butt joint, which means no dummy sashes or reverse adaptor profiles are needed. This makes it thermally efficient by design and means it can achieve the requirements of Part L in double glazed versions without the need for complicated workarounds that add extra time and cost.

Peter concluded: “Stellar has always been a very easy system to sell into the domestic market because of its outstanding aesthetics. The innovation in the design means it is now an easy system to sell into the commercial sector too. We are looking forward to securing more commercial projects using its powerful benefits.”
