The project brief for this 2-storey extension was that the new windows blend in with the existing timber windows. A Georgian effect pane was achieved by cosmetic glazing bars within the cavity of the double glazed units. The thermally broken Comar 5P.i casements were manufactured and fitted in Hipca White polyester powder coat.
Top hung casement windows were hung on projecting friction hinges with an integral restrictor device to limit the initial opening to 100mm and were also fitted with push button key locking cockspur handles at the cill. Trickle vents, through a head extension bar, were also fitted providing a free airflow per vent of 8000mm2 on these internally beaded and double glazed 28mm units.

Phoenix Place office development located in Basildon, Essex tenants include the local NHS Primary Health Care Trust. Dovetail Architects designed the building, selecting W.A. Hills as the contractor, with Comar approved fabricator Anglia Fixing Limited to complete the glazed element of the facade.
In this project the Kingspan Optimo range of cladding panels was selected and at every storey ribbon windows were incorporated from the Comar 5Pi thermally efficient range. Comar 5Pi tilt and turn windows were selected. These can be tilted to allow ventilation and, when unlocked, can be opened in to allow cleaning from the inside. To the perimeter of these windows Comar’s Kingspan cladding adaptors (CS486 and CS487) were fitted which allowed the window to be directly integrated into Kingspan without the need for additional flashings or packings.
