COALVILLE'S REFRESHING CONSERVATORIES FOR LIME TREE VILLAGE

Sheerframe approved window fabricator Coalville Glass & Glazing has started the latest phase of its contract to manufacture and install conservatories for prestigious new homes at Lime Tree Village in Warwickshire, one of the select developments by Retirement Villages plc, using the new Sheerlite roof system from L.B. Plastics.

Coalville is producing conservatories for a large proportion of the 150 properties at Lime Tree Village, which is located close to Rugby between the rural Warwickshire villages of Bilton and Dunchurch. Exclusive to those aged 55 or over, the village consists of privately-owned two-bedroom cottages, bungalows and apartments set within a comfortable, tranquil and safe environment.

As conservatories become an increasingly popular option with those housebuilders that are keen to keep in line with consumer expectations, Coalville Glass & Glazing has developed an excellent reputation throughout the Midlands for this aspect of fenestration. Key to this success is Coalville's use of the advanced Sheerlite roof, which it uses in conjunction with the Sheerframe 6000 window system, both from L.B. Plastics with whom it has worked with since 1989.

Under its contract with Benfield Construction, the main contractors for the development, Coalville has so far manufactured and installed 41 conservatories at Lime Tree Village. All conservatories are a three-facet Victorian style in a modern contemporary 'hooped' design.

The Sheerlite roof and Sheerframe windows combine perfectly to meet the high aesthetic standard required at Lime Tree Village due to its historic location. At the heart of the development is the magnificent Cawston House, an Edwardian mansion that has been painstakingly restored to provide a focal point for residents complete with restaurant, bar, meeting room, library and snooker room.

Ray Whitehorn, director of Coalville Glass & Glazing says, "With the homes at Lime Tree Village really setting the standard for quality in this growing sector of the new homes market, we are delighted to have been awarded this contract by Benfield. We have been working in the newbuild market for many years and with our commitment to quality and the continued support of L.B. Plastics, we fully expect to keep increasing the number of housebuilders that we work with."

As one of the UK's first window fabricators to switch to the Sheerlite roof, Coalville is already very familiar with the benefits that this advanced roof system offers. As well as providing a wide selection of style options, Sheerlite is designed to be totally fabricator and installer friendly, being fast and simple to install and universal for use with all PVC window systems.
