Sash window solution for
seaside private residence
» » SOUTHPORT’S
Westcliffe Court is a prominent
private apartment building built
with soft wood sash windows
but its seaside location meant the
frames needed to be repainted
every three or four years – an
expensive undertaking for the
building’s residents. When the
windows’ seals started to fail
too, the building’s management
company sought an alternative.
The local planning department
specified that vertical sliding
windows with a white woodgrain
finish needed to be used and
stipulated mechanical mortise-
and-tenon joints rather than a
welded 45-degree joint.
The building’s management
company researched alternatives
and selected 88 Profile 22
windows and approved installer,
Countrywide UPVC in
Ormskirk.
Countrywide was supported
throughout the project by Profile
22’s Specification Manager, who
completed all the designs for
the windows and attended both
residents and planning department
meetings, with samples, making
a complicated process run as
smoothly as possible.
Les Moon, Project Leader for
Westcliffe Court Management
Company and building resident
said: “All the residents are absolutely
delighted. The windows are
extremely pleasing aesthetically and
only under very close scrutiny can
you tell that they’re not wooden
frames. It’s a relief to know that these
windows not only look and perform
well but will be able to remain in
situ with very limited maintenance
required for many years to come.”
