Premier house builder, Barratt, specified Monarch aluminium windows and doors from Sapa Building Systems valued in excess of £1m for its new, ultra modern housing development in London's Docklands, called Barrier Point - the tallest building ever built by Barratt.

Sapa Building Systems supplied 600 casement and reversible windows, and 200 patio and residential doors to the £45 million development, which has as its centrepiece a sleek cylindrical apartment building towering 165ft over the Thames Barrier.

Comprising 252 one, two and three-bed luxury apartments, the 18-storey tower also features a glass-walled restaurant on the ground floor and magnificent penthouse apartments at the top.

The design, manufacture and installations of Sapa's Monaframe window and door systems was undertaken by London based fabricators M.Price Ltd.

A Barratt spokesperson said: "The Monaframe windows and doors were chosen to complement the contemporary design of these magnificent homes, and the versatility of the range that included reversible and casement windows, and four and two pane patio doors, provided a cost effective, high quality solution from one complete system."

     
The Residential Specialist
Our systems offer the design flexibility private developers and architects are looking for beautiful, slim, clean lines and a wide choice of colours provide endless opportunities to create buildings with lasting good looks. Combined with the strength and longevity of aluminium, it's no wonder our systems are the first choice for developers and selfbuild projects.

Whether you're looking for a range that offers the flexibility to maintain consistent sight lines or hardware that is designed with security and good looks in mind, we can provide you with choice and top quality solutions.

Built to take the worst of the weather and climatic changes, Sapa systems are equally at home in a bungalow or high rise, and with excellent technical support plus a nationwide fabricator network you can be assured of achieving the finish you desire.
     
Technical Aspects
Special considerations were given in the specification and installation of the Monaframe Patio doors, as the London Docklands can experience conditions of high exposure. This involved the use of special reinforcing bars (shown here) on the patio interlockers, between the fixed and sliding panes, to give excellent weather tightness.
