Clement Windows Group

As an Architectural Designer, Pauline Sutton always specifies Clement Conservation Rooflights for projects where rooflights are required.This country office in West Sussex is one of her latest developments. The brief was to convert a residential outbuilding to provide both a home-office and an art studio, all with minimal impact on the historic integrity of the C18th building.After carefully repairing the oak timbers in the roof; new felt, battens, insulation and re-used handmade clay tiles were added. Two Clement 0 rooflights were then fitted and dressed with bespoke lead work. The spaces were completed with two new oak doors, the stripping back of some old brick-work, lime-mortar repairs and new electrics.As the rooflights were slightly out of reach, brass pole winders were fitted and a winding crank is used to open and close the rooflights.Pauline said: “Here at Pauline Sutton Design we are happy to regularly specify Clement Conservation Rooflights within our Material Schedules and Planning Applications. Listed Building Consent applications here in The South Downs National Park especially require the top quality and carefully considered design by Clement.”

The existing commercial building at 22-23 Little Portland Street comprised ground, basement and four upper floors. Robson Warren Architects’ brief was to design a scheme that improved the office facilities and services, enabling the building to attract further tenants. Their proposals were required to take account of the environmental sustainability of the works and their impact on the property, which is situated in the East Marylebone Conservation Area.Peter Warren from Robson Warren Architects said: “The building was entirely of post-war construction, with single glazed, steel-framed, W20 type casement windows. The subdivision of the windows and slender steel glazing bars was a significant contributor to the appearance, but the existing single glazing would prevent the achievement of the required improvements in environmental performance. Refurbishment of the existing frames was rejected on the grounds that they were too badly corroded, not thermally broken and provided practically no insulation value, acting as a cold bridge and source of condensation.“Approval was sought from Westminster City Council to replace the existing windows with thermally broken, steel-framed, double glazed units to improve thermal and air tightness performance whilst replicating the existing appearance as closely as possible. Steel framing was chosen to allow the slenderest profile to be used while achieving the required performance improvements. Once planning permission was granted, proposals were sought from potential suppliers for both double and triple glazed windows and doors. After much consideration, slender Jansen Janisol cold rolled, mild steel sections which achieved the sight lines required were specified from Clement Windows. Their comprehensive system allowed us to incorporate open-in and open-out windows, French doors and lift and slide doors into the scheme.Clement provided clear drawings to assist in the development of the design which were approved for manufacture. A request for a bespoke RAL colour for the frames was accommodated. The installation was completed to our satisfaction without any significant issues. We would not hesitate to return to Clement Windows for enquiries about future steel-framed window projects.”

In a small town just outside Stirling in Scotland is this beautiful, traditional property built from Scottish sandstone. The new owners have extended and completely refurbished the house, originally built in 1870. Although modernised and featuring some contemporary features the original charm has been kept.In order to maximize natural light, a total of 10 Clement Conservation Rooflights were installed. These not only look beautiful in the traditional Welsh slate roof but also improve thermal efficiency and are low maintenance.The homeowner said: “We are delighted with our Clement Conservation Rooflights. We have now fitted ten into our period house renovation and they look great.“Quality wise they are solid and well built, no problems with manual winders, and the double glazing, sound proofing and heat retention is brilliant. We searched around and Clement seemed a good price for the quality. Dealing with them as a company has been a pleasure, always helpful with sound advice and never a delay in delivery dates.“We have been lucky enough to work with very talented and courteous craftsmen and suppliers - like Clement, who went the extra mile to make sure that we fully understood the options available and helped us create the perfect home.”

We were delighted when the owner of this fantastic Art Deco home in the West Midlands got in touch with us to discuss replacing the windows and doors at her home.Although the property is not listed, our client wanted to retain the character of her home which meant replacing the windows and doors with a product which matched the originals – so it had to be steel! Clement EB20 steel windows and doors provide the stunning slim frames of the original fenestration but offer a much improved specification, making them the perfect choice.The client said: “I am thrilled to express my utmost satisfaction with the quality and service provided by Clement when they installed our new windows. The professionalism and attention to detail displayed by their team were truly exceptional. The windows have not only enhanced the aesthetics of our home but have also significantly improved energy efficiency. I highly recommend Clement to anyone seeking top-notch window solutions and impeccable customer service. Thank you for a job well done!”

Our client is the owner of this superb 1930s house which is located in a suburb of Manchester. The property is currently being renovated throughout and as the old windows were no longer fit for purpose, the decision was taken to replace them with a product which looked just like the original windows, but offered a much improved specification.The Clement EB20 range of steel windows was chosen, with G+ bars and beautiful fenestra joints. The new windows are dual coloured - a dark bronze was chosen for the outside frames while white was selected for the inside to match the interior.

The owners of this attractive, spacious home have recently refurbished and added a kitchen extension. Being situated within a London Conservation Area, it was vital that any new fenestration matched the existing. Clement was chosen to replace the doors and windows with new products from the Brooking and W20 ranges. All the new steel windows and doors are fitted with rectangular leaded lights - not only do they look fabulous, but they also allow a surprising amount of natural light into the house. The client chose dual colour for a number of the windows and French doors on the rear elevation. The outside frames were painted Pure White and the inside Black Grey - perfectly suiting the design and decoration.

Over a number of phases, Clement have manufactured and installed new steel windows and doors from our EB24 range for this magnificent house in the Berkshire countryside. The original home was built in 1905 and the current owners have beautifully refurbished the whole property including the gardens. They have cleverly added a contemporary twist, but have retained all of their home’s original charm. The new slim framed steel windows and doors have opened up the views from the house to the garden and let masses of light into the home. Two different glass types were chosen: leaded light glass for the new multi point locking steel windows and G+ glass for the steel doors, and the combination works perfectly together. The larger panes of glass in the steel doors allow natural light to flow throughout the ground floor. The client said: “Clement Windows Group are a fantastic company. They have worked at my property now for the last couple of years, as the work has been carried out in phases. Throughout the whole process I have been impressed with their professional service. We are really happy with the quality of all our new windows and doors and would not hesitate to use Clement again in the future.” 

The owners of this farmhouse in the Surrey countryside have sensitively restored it, transforming it into the stunning property you see today.Much consideration went into every aspect of the renovation, not least the replacement windows that were required to ensure the perfect finish for this Grade II listed home.Clement EB20 steel windows were specified as the right product to match the original fenestration, offering much improved thermal performance and security, with the benefit of multi-point locking. After much deliberation between the local planning department, the architect, contractor and the homeowners, it was decided that the new bespoke windows would feature an unusual flush T bar design and be painted Anthracite Grey, rather than keeping the original white frames and leaded glass. These clever design choices were a success and have transformed the look of this property.The homeowner said: “It was a delight to have Clement achieve excellence at our home in Surrey. Collaborating with the construction contractor, the quality of windows and execution was a testament to their commitment to deliver.”

The Brewhouse, formerly known as Farsons Brewery was one of the first and finest examples of concrete-reinforced Art Deco buildings on the island of Malta. The building was founded and designed by Lewis V Farrugia and William Binnie and originally opened 73 years ago in June 1950.Now a Grade II listed building The Brewhouse has been part of a €86 million redevelopment project, reimagined by world-renowned London based ritchie*studio. Covering over 7,000 sq m of industrial space, the building now includes a unique mix of office, food and beverage, retail, visitor experience, and events space over seven floors.In a building of such historical and architectural significance the new windows not only had to look as close to the originals as possible, but also meet stringent requirements for thermal efficiency, as the building was designed to meet the strictest of environmental codes. Clement was thrilled that over one hundred white Clement EB24 steel framed windows were specified, featuring T bars and multi point locking.Robert Abela, the Prime Minister of Malta, was among around 400 people who attended the inauguration ceremony of Trident Park and The Brewhouse, one of the most iconic regeneration projects in Maltese history.ritchie*studio director, Ian Ritchie said: “Clement Windows provided the perfect steel window profile and workmanship solution to help restore this beautiful and iconic Maltese industrial Art Deco building."

Typical of most of the houses in the Hampstead Garden Suburb, the style of this beautiful home is influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement.The original steel windows and doors were draughty and no longer fit for purpose and so they needed replacing. The Clement range of Brooking windows, which feature a specialist ‘putty fronted’ system, was chosen together with doors from the Clement W20 range, to match the originals perfectly. The new, bespoke steel doors and windows were painted ‘Jet Black’ on the outside to replicate the previous fenestration and ‘Traffic White’ on the inside to complement the interior. The homeowner said:“I am absolutely delighted with Clement and would recommend them very highly. Their workmen were very professional and swift and they left the house tidy each day. They were a pleasure to have in the house whilst they were doing the work.”

City of London Freemens first opened in Brixton in 1854 for ‘the maintenance and the religious and virtuous education of orphans of Freemen of the City of London’. Paid for by the Corporation of London both boys and girls were enrolled from the outset making it one of the oldest co-educational independent schools.In 1926 the school moved to Ashtead Park in Surrey. The Grade II* listed Main House at Ashtead Park had been the home of Sir Robert Howard, Chancellor of the Exchequer during the 17th century.In 2016 an ambitious development project was commenced, due to span the next decade. The modernisation of the Main House, now the Sixth Form Centre, involved a redesign of the building and the new layout required fire screens to ensure the building met with current Building Regulations. Clement Windows Group supplied the internal fire rated doors and screens at the top of the adjacent internal stairs which are access controlled and linked into the main fire control of the building.
