Project - The Old Printworks, Frome

  • Client – Acorn Property Group
  • Location - Frome, Somerset

Background

Previously a site of an old factory – the Acorn Property Group demolished the remains of this abandoned area and created a collection of award-winning properties, including residential homes, apartments and commercial buildings. With over 150 brand new properties created, Acorn have created a superb village of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes.

Brief

The client was looking to create a cohesive village of properties that utilised thermally efficient and aesthetically pleasing home improvement solutions that would deliver a practical and stylish finish to any home. Creating a sense of unison whilst differing each property with a different coloured front entrance door for a splash of individuality.

Buying Drivers

Each property sports large glass sightlines with our range KF 310 uPVC-Aluminium composite windows, utilising its thermal efficiency of 0.62 W/m²K, enjoying a home improvement solution that offers unmatched insulation and sleek style, offering a premium look.

Accommodating & Collaborative

“We recently worked with Internorm UK at the early design stage of a 91-home residential development in London. The project required high-performance timber-aluminium composite windows and doors that would minimise heating demand, optimally balance solar gain in winter and light transmission throughout the year, and achieve the required high acoustic performance.  Internorm were able to accommodate all the requirements of this complex project while maintaining the crisp and uniform aesthetics we were looking for. The collaboration has been instrumental in finding the balance between design, performance and cost.”
