Sheerframe windowmaker Horizon Windows, together with Blackburn-based contractors' FDG Projects, is bringing Twin Valley Homes' 8500 properties in line with the Decent Homes Standard.
1,300 pivots installed into tower blocks
Sheerframe Partner, Radway, has designed, manufactured and installed pivots into tower blocks for the Birmingham City Decent Homes Framework Partnership.
The work is expected to take 194 days to refurbish 194 properties and will involve the replacement of over 2,000 timber windows as part of the Association's home improvement programme.
Using L.B.Plastics' Sheerframe 7000 system, Hawthorn Windows will manufacture and install fully reversible woodgrain PVC windows to provide comfortable homes which offer maximum energy efficiency for residents.
The refurbishment programme is part of North Glasgow Housing Association's work to ensure all its housing provision meets the Scottish Housing Quality Standards by 2015.
Established in 1976, North Glasgow Housing Association was originally founded to prevent further decline in the area and establish a healthier, positive future for its residents.
The housing association currently manages homes for around 3,000 households throughout the area.
Director of North Glasgow Housing Association, Robert Tamburrini, said: "The installation of these new windows will help provide many of our tenants with warm, dry, safe homes.
Hawthorn Windows have a superb reputation and this work is already making a big difference to the look and feel of tenants' homes.
"But the partnership is not just about improving homes.
It will also make a significant contribution to the wider North Glasgow economy by guaranteeing a local employer a substantial amount of work over the coming months." The second phase of the window refurbishment programme commences at the beginning of Summer 2006 in the Springburn area of Glasgow.
