Shaping The Mill
»»Universal Arches is
no stranger to the commercial
market, yet this latest project with
Dempsey Dyer is the largest oneof-its-kind ever in the UK with
the replacement of 655 shaped
PVCu windows, as part of a £8.75
million re-development project at
Abbey Mill, Leicester.
This impressive project for the
re-development of Abbey Mill in
Leicester required the replacement
of 742 windows and two sets of
French Doors over a 12 month

period. Of the windows, 655 were
manufactured with arches, the best
way to match the original design
with an arched head, as specified
by the architect RG+P and by
the local Planning Department of
Leicester City Council.
Peter Dyer, Sales and Marketing
Director of Dempsey Dyer said:
“We have built an incredible
relationship with Universal
Arches and simply without them
the project could not have gone
ahead.”

Leon Day, Managing Director
of Universal Arches concludes:
“This was an incredible project
to be involved in and required
detailed production planning and
co-ordination with Peter and
his team. Everyone across the
project has been thrilled with the
end result of a facility to support
vulnerable adults.”

it’s not timber
Dekko Window Systems has further
enhanced the authenticity of its
Residence 9 window with the launch
of the new Radlington chunky cill.
»»Measuring
55mm, the
dimensions of this
cill are akin to that
of a 19th Century
timber casement
window, making
the product look like a
classic timber original.
Kurt Greatrex, Sales Director
of Dekko, said: “With its
flush sash, mechanical joints,
traditional hardware and
authentic colours, the Residence
9 window is proving to be an
excellent choice for customers
who prefer the aesthetics of
wood but not the associated
problems such as rotting,
peeling and rattling.”
Producing over 100
Residence 9 windows and doors
per week, Lancashire based
Dekko, is one of the UK’s
largest Residence 9 fabricators.
They also manufacture the

Living Al
Fresco Style

Deceuninck 2500 and 2800
series and the Kommerling

Residence 9 by Dekko
is available in a number of
heritage colours and mixed
combinations and there is a
matching French and composite
door made with either a GRP or
solid timber core slab.

and Doors, a leading South
West fabricator is normally used
to supplying its windows and
doors for just residential and
commercial projects.
However, a recent project has
seen the company supply its
Irish Oak ‘A’ rated window, for
installation in a high-end tree
house.
MWD worked with Ben
Edwards Builders to complete the
installation in Somerset, with the
owners of the property building
the tree house for office use and
additional living space.
The novel idea could spark a
wave of copy-cat installations says
MWD’s Jim Martin. “It’s not the
type of project we usually work

on and is certainly a first for us,
putting a whole new spin on
living al fresco.”
Ben Edwards comments: “It
was an interesting project to work
on and MWD is a great company
to work with, always on time,
supplying efficient and top quality
products.”
MWD manufacture and supply
Duraflex casement windows,
bi-folding and composite doors,
vertical sliding sash windows and
patios.
Jim added: “We are busier than
ever at the moment, completing
a number of similar high-end
projects.”
