Aluminium in new homes
AM Profiles complete new development designed by CAD Associates of Lincoln for Stamford Homes which effectively uses aluminium curtain walling, windows and doors in a low rise residential application.
Alarbond is a UK designed and manufactured window system which comprises both a structural element of external aluminium and internal structure of timber.
The Highland Council has chosen a naturally treated redwood as the internal finish and hardwearing white powder coat as the outer weathered surface which will cope with the worst of the Scottish weather.
Norscot, based in Wick, are probably the most northern window fabricator and installer on the UK mainland and are fabricating the AM Profiles' windows and doors for the projects.
Callum Grant, Commercial Director, based at Norscot's Inverness office comments, "We are delighted to have secured the order and to be working with the Alarbond system in partnership with AM Profiles".
"Our business is based on offering a wide range of window products and we have seen a substantial shift to the use of composite products in the last few years on the basis of sustainability".
Both projects consist of replacement products into existing housing stock and are part of a major modernisation programme.
The 'South Kessock' project consists of 3230 replacement windows, whilst the 'Bught Park' project consists of 765 replacement windows and doors.
Both projects are in Inverness and are being headed up by The Highland Council Property and Architectural Services, also based in Inverness.
AM profiles offer a wide range of UK designed and manufactured composite windows, doors and curtain wall systems for all types of construction.
