PINK AND BLUE WINDOWS ARE CHILD ’ S PLAY

Pastel pink and blue may be traditional colours for little girls and boys but when they were specified for the windows and doors – plus some round windows – for the new Mulberry Bush Nursery in Bury , the result was anything but traditional .
That was no problem for Grosvenor Windows because , having its own in-house spray shop and working with trade fabricator The Glazerite UK Group Limited , the Bolton-based installer was able to come up with the exact RAL colours , plus 7016 Grey , as well as round frames with Fully Reversible function , all based on the acclaimed VEKA Matrix 70mm profile .
The result may look fun but getting the specification exactly right was a serious matter , according to Grosvenor contract manager Lauren Wilcox : “ We pot-tested all the paints to make sure of a perfect colour match . Wind loading calculations were needed for a first-floor balcony with 2,200mm high glass panels , the glass was 6mm toughened to withstand impact and of course all opening windows had restrictors , including the round fully reversibles .”
‘ The striking contemporary styling is not only aimed to follow the group ’ s ethos of making the design child-focussed but also to make the most of its very visible location ’
The unit is the fifth Mulberry Bush Nursery but the group ’ s first new-build . The striking contemporary styling is not only aimed to follow the group ’ s ethos of making
the design child-focussed but also to make the most of its very visible location . Grosvenor was chosen on the strength of past work with the
main contractor SD Woodcock . Design for the project was by Fuzion . As well as curtain walling , Grosvenor installed 43 windows , seven sliding patio doors , five single doors and one French door , all in the various colours , with the pink colour-matched to translucent Rodeca cladding , used extensively in the construction .
