Iconic retail store transformed

200 Spectus casement windows have been installed in a retail building refurbishment in Batley, West Yorkshire.

A former steam powered mill built in the 1860s, Redbrick Mill is home to over 40 high-quality retail brands.

The manufacture and installation of the Spectus casement windows was awarded to Spectus approved window contractor, Jade Windows (Brighouse). Based in Batley, West Yorkshire, Jade Windows is a family-owned business with considerable experience in the commercial sector.

The contract required the fabrication and installation of 200 3m x 3m casement windows with arched frames to replicate the aesthetics of the building’s original timber frames. The windows were manufactured in anthracite grey with Georgian bar detailing. All products were manufactured in the 70mm Spectus bevelled system.

The Spectus bevelled system can achieve a Window Energy Rating of Band A++ and U values as low as 0.8W/(m²K). All products were manufactured to PAS24:2016 standard.

Ryan Fozard, sales manager at Jade Windows, commented: “The iconic store has been completely transformed. The bespoke windows perfectly blend with the historic architecture of the former mill and the chosen aesthetics pay homage to its industrial heritage.

“We are delighted to have worked on this prominent project and once again, the quality and reliability of the Spectus system has delivered at every level. This is a symbolic stand-out building in Batley and we are proud of the finished results.”
