Beaufort Plays A Key Role In Regeneration

High performance aluminium doors and windows from Beaufort Secure Design have played a key role in the refurbishment of Crossway Court in Lewisham to decent homes standard. The £233,000 contract was awarded by the Local Authority’s Capital Programme Team as part of a comprehensive range of repairs and improvements to 42 flats in the multi-storey block.

Tilt before turn windows from Beaufort ‘s 70mm Deep Direct Fix system were specified for the regeneration project to replace the original steel framed fenestration. This popular window style combines the benefits of easy cleaning with good ventilation. All windows are internally glazed to offer tenants increased protection against potential break-ins.

The refurbishment also included new residential doors fabricated from the same Beaufort System, which offers a low maintenance option and requires no sub-frame. Each door leaf is constructed using aluminium tension blocks and Allen bolts for added strength and rigidity. The replacement doors also feature a low threshold to facilitate disabled access in accordance with Part M of the Building Regulations. In addition, all products in Beaufort’s range comply fully with the thermal efficiency demands of Document L in both domestic and non-domestic applications.

All the new Beaufort aluminium doors and windows for Crossway Court have been supplied in a gleaming white powder paint finish. Both this finish and other special colour finishes are produced to comply with BS 6496: 1984 and are highly resistant to the pollution and grime that can discolour many other types of frames – a major benefit given Crossway Court’s urban location. In addition it is possible to extend the guarantee period to 25 years subject. Aluminium is generally the system of choice for public sector contracts, like Crossway Court, because it’s a recyclable material, highly durable and requires minimal maintenance. We’ve been working with Beaufort for about three years now and believe they offer a top quality product backed by reliable service.
