“It has to be seen to be believed. The original windows were no longer up to the job, but even so, with the secondary glazing installed, you would be forgiven for thinking the outside elements are much gentler than they often are.” Martin Bostock, Head of Estates, Newcastle under Lyme College
Gradbach Mill is a stunning building set amongst 16 acres of land, steeped in history dating back to the silk spinning days of the late 1700’s. It was acquired by Newcastle under Lyme College in 2013, and transformed into an outdoor adventure centre.
Being faithful to the Mill’s underlying aesthetics was extremely important, as was transforming the noise and thermal insulation. So we set to work providing horizontal sliders from our heritage range, utilising high-tech fixtures with 6.4mm Low-E glass to aid thermal performance. Smooth sight lines, ease of operation and maintenance also made a positive impression on the client.
