Wolsey Building UPVC Contract Secured
Date: 09/06/2010
Dempsey Dyer Ltd have successfully secured the contract for the supply of UPVC windows for the Wolsey Building rejuvenation project in Leicester.
As the Crocodile Works contract in Birmingham comes to a close, William Davis (the main contractor for both projects) have again awarded Dempsey Dyer a contract for the manufacture and supply of Decoroc coated UPVC windows. Realising the benefits that UPVC windows have to offer over rival Aluminium based windows, William Davis have again chosen UPVC as the material of choice for the Wolsey Building rejuvenation project.
With the ability to manufacture bespoke products such as Decoroc coated UPVC windows, Dempsey Dyer have yet again been able to offer an affordable and durable alternative to Aluminium window products for a large scale commercial contract.
Dempsey Dyer will supply around 340 UPVC casement windows finished in Deceuninck's innovative Decoroc coating solution. The UPVC windows for this contract will be supplied in anthracite grey and will feature frames from the Deceuninck 3000 series "Zendow" and sashes from the 2500 series "Chamfered" profile systems. Production is scheduled to commence at the beginning of July with the last phase due for completion by the end of August this year.
The development will bring around 100 new homes to the area comprised of extra care apartments for the elderly and affordable homes. Expected to cost around £15m, the rejuvenation project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2011.
As a former knitwear and textile factory built in the 1920's, home to "Cardinal Wolsey" and then later "Sangra Textiles", the building is seen as an icon of Leicester. The original feature of an iconic sandstone cameo of Cardinal Wolsey is expected to be kept and integrated into the finished building.
