As part of the Extra Care Development scheme, Framexpress has completed the supply and installation of 252 frames for the new senior living facility in Telford. Based on Dawley Road, the new building consists of 20 one-bedroom and 50 two-bedroom apartments, available to over-55s looking to live independently with the reassurance of on-site care.
Working with developers, Deeley Group, for the first time, Framexpress was chosen for the project based on its 25-year track record of delivering its high specification as standard products on time, in full and accurately to customers.
With the specification for the new, all-electric, building having a huge focus on achieving Net Zero targets, Framexpress’ Optima Chamfered Casement Windows and Optima Chamfered Doors were fitted with triple glazed units – achieving U-values of 1.0W/m²K and 30dB acoustic sound reduction glazing.
All frames were fitted with an external Anthracite Grey Grained Foil and White internal colour and finish, offering a modern finish to the exposed brick building. The frames also benefitted from triple glazing; all relevant Secured by Design and PAS 24 certifications and Chrome key low level locking handles.
Eamonn Gorman, Deeley Group’s Project Manager, spoke about its first project in partnership with Framexpress, saying: “Deeley Group appointed Framexpress for our Extra Care Development project in Telford due to its impressive range of products and faultless service. It was the first time they had partnered with us on a project, and they did not disappoint.
“Craig, Sarah and the rest of the team were professional and accommodating from the onset and throughout the design and installation process, working with the Deeley team to fulfil the project requirements with a fantastic range of products and a high-quality installation.”
Sarah Price, Framexpress’ Commercial Sales Manager, reflects on the now completed project saying: “It’s always nice when a local project we’ve worked on comes together. It’s even nicer to have worked with the Deeley team to complete the project to deadline and without any hiccups, so to have been chosen to provide our products and services to a project so close to home is incredibly rewarding for us.”
