Fentrade Aluminium has reported the growing popularity of low-rise curtain walling being installed into residential properties.
Whilst curtain walling is often the fabric of choice for commercial applications, Chris Reeks, Managing Director at Fentrade, is keen to point out that the product’s flexibility is proving popular when it comes to domestic properties too.
He said: “Over the past few months, we have worked with our trade customers on several new build and refurbishment projects to open-up entrances and hallways to create additional space and light for the homeowner. By incorporating our low-rise curtain walling into these domestic projects, we have created light-filled and visually striking spaces.”
When it comes to colour for these internal curtain walling structures, RAL7016 remains a popular choice. Chris said: “Grey interiors have been known for their drama and stand-out quality for home design projects. It’s why Anthracite Grey has become the colour of choice for these modern spaces. Having said that, we are also seeing a range of grey tones being specified including 7038 Agate and 7021 Black/Grey. This shift reflects the desire for increased design flexibility and personalisation in these design-led projects.”
Like all Fentrade’s aluminium products, the low level curtain walling is manufactured at the company’s Newport headquarters. High quality manufacture ensures exceptional product quality and Fentrade’s customer-centric focus has expanded its reach into working with architects and specifiers.
Chris said: “We actively engage with the architect or specifier at the early stages of project development. This hands-on approach ensures that initial designs meet both aesthetic appeal and feasibility standards from a manufacturing and technical perspective. And because we partner with a carefully chosen group of curtain wall systems, we can develop the best tailored solution for each application whether in ladder format or stick format, meeting the diverse needs of each project.”
As the popularity for low-rise curtain walling in residential properties continues to grow, Fentrade remains committed to delivering high-quality products and personalised services to architects, specifiers and trade customers. Chris concludes: “As a specialist trade aluminium fabricator with a wide product range, 30 years’ fenestration experience and a commitment to customer service and quality, we are a reliable partner for anyone looking to tap into this domestic growth.”
