Clement features in Battersea Power Station
Iconic refurbishment
www.ggpmag.com January 2019
Contractor and architect, Area
Sq, has chosen various Clement
products – including EB24 – to
create a series of both internal and
external steel glazed partitions, walls
and doors throughout Battersea
Power Station Estates Offi ce and the
surrounding areas.
Colin Pye, corporate accounts
director at Area Sq, said: “We are
really pleased with our decision
to select Clement to provide new
steel windows for this iconic
power station development. The
service provided by Clement has
been brilliant from beginning to
end – from the initial quote and
drawing stages through to delivery
and installation, everything was
provided on time and to the high
standard we required. We selected
EB24 steel screens from Clement
because its industrial Art Deco
looks are in keeping with those
of the original Power Station.
However being 21st century doubleglazed
steel screens, they provide
outstanding thermal and acoustic
performance as well. The outcome is
windows that are sympathetic to the
original development but also meet
the high technical specifi cations of
the project.”
Built in the early 1930s, Battersea
Power Station was created to meet
the energy demands of the new age.
Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott,
the building began to produce power
for the capital in 1933.

Profi le 22’s Optima windows have
been chosen for the construction
of 18 houses, 38 fl ats and two retail
units as part of a regeneration
scheme in Maidstone, Kent.
Housing association, Golding
Homes, is reported to have invested
£50m in a three phase regeneration
project to transform and improve
the former Park Wood estate in
Maidstone. The scheme involved
providing over 200 new homes,
mainly family houses, as well as new
community facilities including new
shops, and a much wider package of
investment to improve the local area.
Education, housing and
healthcare contractor, Rydon,
secured the £9.3m contract to deliver
the third and fi nal phase of the
project, which involved building 18
houses, 38 fl ats and two retail units.
When it came to the windows and
doors on the project, Rydon turned
to supplier, Feature Architectural
Fabrications, based in Eastbourne,
East Sussex.
Feature Architectural Fabrications
has only been a Profi le 22
installer for around two years and
procurement manager, Paul Delaney,
attributed his company’s success in
winning the Wallis Fields contract to
the system. “Rydon specifi ed PVC-U
windows and doors and Optima
from Profi le 22 delivered the
technical and aesthetic requirements
needed.”
Spectus fabricator, Mercury Glazing,
has manufactured and supplied 204
windows for the refurbishment of
Cliff House, an iconic former hotel
in Felixstowe, into 24 one and twobedroom
luxury seaside apartments.
Working with main contractor
and developer, Dragon Wood
Homes, the 12-month project
involved Mercury undertaking the
manufacture and supply of 204
bespoke windows, which included
a mixture of arched top vertical
sliders, bowed vertical sliders,
circular windows and standard
vertical sliders. The windows
were manufactured from Spectus’
vertical sliding and Elite 70 window
systems and were produced in white
woodgrain foil fi nish on both sides.
Originally constructed in
1906 as a prestigious 100 room
cliffside hotel, Cliff House sits
in a conservation area. It meant
the restoration needed to be
as sympathetic as possible and
maintain its original features,
including its sash windows.
