• Fentrade – Live At Treorchy

Trade fabricator Fentrade went live at Treorchy to showcase its expertise and ability to work to tight timescales in a recent commercial refurbishment project at the local comprehensive school.

The project involved replacing the windows and doors in and around the school’s dining hall, all to a tight schedule. Chris Reeks, Fentrade’s MD, says: “Our customer was awarded the installation contract in July. The work had to be completed by the end of August during the school holidays when there would be no students on site and disruption could be minimised.”

The specification

Alongside the tight schedule there were also several complex requirements to manage. These included thermally broken profiles in RAL7015 on white on all windows and doors, fold-over openers to all casement windows and a mixture of electric door strikes and panic bar operation functionality on all doors.

Also required was an AluK Optio BSC94 monorail sliding door featuring internal handles only, that would be reimagined into a canteen serving hatch to enable staff to serve students outside. 

Reeks says: “The AluK BSC94 was a great choice for this project. It’s designed for effortless operation so is perfect for busy school canteens.”

On time

The expertise and project management skills of the Fentrade team successfully met the challenge of a complex development with an exacting deadline. All elements were fabricated to schedule ensuring the customer could complete the installation on time.

More schools

Reeks says: “Our commercial work is continuing, even as we head into the winter months. Alongside further school refurbishment projects, we are also looking forward to working on several educational community centres.”
