The project also involves some internal building works at the school before the replacement windows and doors can be fitted, but the bulk of this buildings improvement contract, worth over £250,000 + VAT is yet another contract Hazlemere Commercial have been awarded involving AluK’s aluminium fenestration products.
GGF Members Hazlemere will be manufacturing and installing replacement white powder coated double glazed thermally broken windows using the AluK 58BW aluminium casement window system, which offers end users a cost effective, high performance solution that is available in a wide range of configurations and formats to suit each building’s design.

With clean lines and advanced functionality, this superior window and door system has been designed to offer a high performance, narrow profile solution that has the range and flexibility to suit most projects, in a complete variety of colours and finishes.
Hazlemere Commercial are also fabricating and fitting several AluK GT55 TB aluminium commercial double glazed entrance doors as part of the refurbishment project at Braunstone Frith School. The AluK GT55 TB double glazed doors have been designed to offer high levels of performance through thermally broken screening. This product is part of an AluK ground floor treatment system that includes an integrated range of high-traffic, anti-finger trap doors suitable for single storey applications, so ideal for replacement doors in educational establishments like this primary school in Leicester.
As an example Morgan Sindall contracted with Hazlemere Commercial to design, manufacture and install £2.4m of new aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling, along with a 70 metre sloping double glazed rooflight as part of the £44m Bideford College sustainability new build project in Devon, where Hazlemere exclusively used aluminium extrusions that came from 100% re-cycled aluminium billet.
Hazlemere work with many other contractors too, like Ash Construction Ltd, Brymor Contractors Ltd, Kier Group Construction and Mars Construction, on new build and refurbishment projects in schools, commercial offices, luxury residential apartments, technology parks, colleges and Universities.
Hazlemere Commercial’s Division has an in-house design team, so they are able to produce highly detailed technical drawings to ensure the new bespoke high quality architectural aluminium windows, doors, curtain walling and roof lights are manufactured and installed in such a way as to be tailor made to suit the architects designs. Hazlemere offer pre-tender design advice and are willing to produce window samples for client approval.
As independent aluminium manufacturers Hazlemere are able to offer a wide range of aluminium profiles, including profiles specially designed as thermally broken Crittall replacement windows, which are available to achieve slim sight-lines sought by many architects and planners.
Hazlemere Commercial also supply and fit REHAU and Synseal UPVC casement, sliding sash, reversible and tilt & turn windows for new build projects. All the products that Hazlemere Commercial offer on new build projects and refurbishment projects are available to be viewed at 3 different London showrooms.

In our recently completed consumer survey, we asked thousands of homeowners around the UK a range of questions about glazing, energy efficiency and home improvements.
What they told us will be good news if you’re planning a home improvement and have been thinking about energy efficient glazing.
Almost 75% of homeowners we surveyed told us they would consider energy efficient windows and doors important when buying a new home.
Since we also discovered that only 54% of homeowners currently have energy efficient windows and doors installed, upgrading the glazing in your home could put you at an advantage when it comes time to sell your property and give potential home buyers an extra reason to shortlist your home.
Energy efficient glazing offers a whole host of additional benefits, from improved thermal efficiency to extra security and noise insulation, so it’s no surprise that the positives of installing it in a home are now more widely recognised than ever.
Here at MyGlazing.com, we strongly recommend you consider the benefits of upgrading the windows and doors in your home.
Energy efficient glazing can bring a range of improvements to your home:
– increased thermal efficiency
– a more comfortable living environment
– less noise pollution
– reduced chance of condensation (when used in conjunction with adequate ventilation)
– lower energy bills (when used in conjunction with other energy efficient systems)

Installing energy efficient glazing can help make your home warmer, quieter and more comfortable to live in – and help lower your heating bills.
However replacing your old windows may not always be an option. Whether your budget doesn’t stretch that far or it is impractical or impossible (due to planning restrictions) to replace your current glazing, that doesn’t mean you can’t take action to reduce the heat lost through your windows and enjoy all the resulting benefits.
MyGlazing.com has drawn a case study from GGF Member company Selectaglaze to show how you can overcome the problem when you can’t replace your existing windows or doors.
One reason window replacement may not be an option is when the property in question is a Listed or Historic building.
That was the case with Brighton’s historic Ship St Post Office building, the city’s main post office for many years. Dating back to 1925, and incorporating parts of an earlier building dated 1898, it was recently renovated with the aim of transforming it into comfortable apartments.
However creating warm living spaces turned out to be quite a challenge. The primary windows were draughty, allowing heat to escape and due to the listed nature of the building they could not be changed.
For many homeowners living in heritage or listed properties this can be the reality. Luckily it needn’t be a deterrent.
In this case, secondary glazing provided the ideal solution. A separate window fitted inside the existing primary window, it traps an insulating layer of air which can reduce heat loss by up to 50%.
Secondary glazing is fitted to the room side of the building and is fully reversible, making it a popular choice for heritage properties.
As well as improving the thermal efficiency of windows, secondary glazing can help reduce the amount of noise that enters a property through closed windows.
GGF Member company Selectaglaze installed 75 vertical sliding units at the Ship St address. All units are bespoke to ensure the tightest fit with matching sight lines where possible, to make them virtually unnoticeable from the outside.

This week the UK Government released the final Grenfell inquiry. The GGF welcomes the report and are fully supportive of any and all findings within it. It will be imperative the construction sector comes together to showcase its ability to implement any and all findings from the report quickly and effectively.
The GGF will liaise with Government, and act as a focal point for discussions, to advise on the glass and glazing industry’s expertise and capacity to deliver work at pace on any major construction programmes across the UK.
Group Consumer Press Response
The report is a crucial document that the GGF are fully supportive of. The whole construction industry must come together to support the Building Safety Regulator and ensure homes, offices and public buildings are safe.
We will provide advice to government on the latest methods of glass and glazing within construction and ensure access to the necessary technical expertise within the industry when required.
What Are FENSA’s/GGF’s Immediate Thoughts on the Inquiry Findings?
Grenfell must be used as a catalyst for change. The inquiry’s findings to date have been fair and accurate and the final report will provide the industry with a manifesto for improvements in a whole host of areas.
Is Our Industry To Blame At All?
No. There is no evidence to suggest the windows were not fitted in line with building regulations. The fire’s spread and the resulting loss of life were the result of a combination of failures in building materials, construction practices, regulatory oversight and emergency response alongside a lack of competence around product information and traceability.
While the windows and doors might have played a role in the building’s overall fire safety performance, they were not the primary cause of the fire’s rapid spread. The focus of the post-Grenfell investigations and subsequent reforms has been on the systemic issues, particularly the use of unsafe cladding and insulation materials, regulatory gaps and the need for comprehensive fire safety measures in high-rise buildings.
What Can We Learn As An Industry From Grenfell?
Every sector within construction will have to critically reflect and glass and glazing is no different. It’s imperative that we take the findings from the inquiry, implement all suggested changes and ensure we have a systematic approach, based on empirical evidence, to guarantee it never happens again.
What Has The Industry Done Since Grenfell To Ensure It Can’t Happen Again?
Since the fire in 2017 there have been numerous measures implemented to prevent a similar tragedy from occurring. These changes span regulatory reforms, safety protocols and industry practice. They all aim to address the failures that contributed to the disaster.
Have H&S Standards Improved Since Grenfell?
Yes. Significantly. The tragedy highlighted critical deficiencies in fire safety and building regulations. One of the most notable changes has been the introduction of stricter regulations regarding the use of combustible materials in the construction of high-rise buildings. The UK government has banned the use of such materials in the exterior walls of new residential buildings over 18 meters tall, as well as in hospitals, care homes and student accommodation.
Additionally, new legislation like the Building Safety Act 2022 places clear responsibilities on those involved in the design, construction, and management of buildings. These measures aim to ensure that safety considerations are integrated into every stage of the building process. A new Gateway system for Higher Risk Buildings (HRB’s) provides the mechanism by which a construction project can pass through stages of planning, building control approval and completion stage. This robust process means that the regulatory regime for HRB’s will put resident’s safety first.
Furthermore, the introduction of mandatory building safety case reviews and the requirement for building owners to demonstrate ongoing compliance with safety regulations have reinforced the commitment to high safety standards. The establishment of a new building products regulator to oversee the safety and performance of construction products is another significant development. These reforms collectively represent a substantial improvement in health and safety standards, fostering a culture of safety that prioritises the well-being of occupants and workers in the building industry.
What Impact Do FENSA/GGF See The Building Safety Regulator Having On Our Industry?
The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) will have a profound impact on our industry. The more rigorous inspections and higher accountability for developers, contractors, and property managers etc will have long term implications for us. Companies will need to invest in training and qualifications to meet these new standards, potentially leading to increased costs in the short term but ultimately resulting in safer, more resilient buildings.
Another significant impact of the BSR will hopefully be the enhancement of transparency and trust within the industry. The clear guidance and oversight provided will help streamline processes and reduce any ambiguity surrounding safety requirements. This increased clarity will benefit everyone by fostering a culture of safety and compliance. Moreover, the BSR’s role in investigating and addressing safety concerns will likely drive innovation as companies seek new materials, technologies and methods to meet requirements more efficiently.
Overall, while the introduction of the Building Safety Regulator will necessitate adjustments and potentially significant upfront investments, it will ultimately lead to higher safety standards and improved industry practices.
