Over 300 Optima casement windows and 60 doors from Profile 22 were used in a new 85-bed care home and 45 assisted living apartments in Sutton Coldfield.
Background
The Sutton Rose development in Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield is a new build 85-bed care home with 45 assisted living apartments.
The developer is renowned for delivering exceptional quality projects, which means suppliers have to meet exacting standards and quality specifications.
The window and door contract were awarded to Sutton Designs in Kingstanding, Birmingham, with manufacturing undertaken by Profile 22’s Approved Commercial Manufacturer, Central Window Systems in West Bromwich. The two companies had worked on previous care projects, which meant that as well as being able to demonstrate their ability to meet the tender requirements for this
project they also brought a
proven track record.
The Window Specification
The window and door system
specified for the project was
award-winning Optima from
Profile 22, a fully-integrated 70mm
system which offers a step-change
in advanced window design.
The high-specification system comes
with an impressive set of credentials
and design flexibility to meet all
commercial project requirements. In
this project, all windows were fitted
with open-out restrictors for the safety
or the residents and all window and
doors needed to comply with fire and
smoke escape protection measures.
Optima offers market-leading structural strength and high-security features and
casement windows are PAS24:2016 approved as standard which was important to
meet the project specification.
The windows and doors were manufactured in Anthracite Grey on White to match
other developments in building contractor’s portfolio and create a sleek, modern
aluminium aesthetic.
A carefully managed installation process
Sutton Designs is an experienced new build and commercial window installation
company and has worked with Central Window Systems for over three years. The
two companies worked in close partnership to ensure all windows and doors were
manufactured and installed to the required timescales. The project was completed
during the Covid-19 pandemic, which meant appropriate health and safety
considerations also needed to be taken into account.
An impressive new elder care development
The completed project will provide modern and well-equipped homes for the
residents. Jon Gregory, Owner of Sutton Design concluded: “The quality of Optima
from Profile 22 and the commercial expertise of Central Window Systems were
fundamental to the project’s success. This is a very impressive development and
we were delighted to have been part of its construction."
