Marley Alutec was specified to deliver a range of products, including a bespoke window trim solution, to update the dated façade of Tynings, a seafront property in North Devon.
With its technical team working closely with the project’s contractor, Marley Alutec provided the bespoke design to facilitate a simple installation process.
Originally built in the late 1960s overlooking Woolacombe Bay and the Bristol Channel, the residential property’s coastal location is subject to increased wind exposure. After discovering Marley Alutec’s Evoke fascia, soffit and coping solution online, the project’s contractor Nick Pullen of St Michaels Properties, approached the manufacturer as the system offered both the necessary rigidity and site workability needed for the window trim.
The full refurbishment consisted of an internal and external upgrade with the correct blend of modern and natural materials needed to sharpen up the property’s façade to meet aesthetic and performance requirements. As part of the refurbishment, the existing windows were replaced with modern alternatives with narrower frames. This left a gap around the new frames, which required closing with a neat, colour matched trim solution to complement the window finish.
Prior to carrying out the project on-site, Marley Alutec’s technical team worked with Nick to produce a practical design in order to prevent potential on-site challenges.
In addition, matching Evoke fascia, soffits and coping were also installed on the façade, with further coping used around Tynings’ stone chimney. Nick also specified Marley Alutec’s square rainwater downpipes and balcony outlets – ensuring a consistent and complementary aesthetic across the entire property.
Due to the balcony outlets having a circular spigot as standard, Marley Alutec adapted each unit to have a square spigot. This enabled the connection between the outlet and downpipe to be a simple process of pushing them together, neatly concealed within the balcony’s soffit.
