Shortly after our Heritage Window system was accepted and installed into a Grade II Listed Building, we have been approved as a supplier for Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation. They foun us on the internet and were impressed with what they saw, and requested that we visit them. After recieving a sample for testing they quickly realised that our system meets all the criteria for replacing old crittall steel windows. Our system was approved for use as a replacement for the windows of Letchworth Garden City.
Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation give out grants to the people of Letchworth Garden City to restore or replace their old steel windows. As the area is a conservation area all the new replacement windows need to be replicas that are sympathetic in preserving the original character of the building.
Our Heritage Window Range are now specified and approved for the job.
