Clement Windows Group

As an Architectural Designer, Pauline Sutton always specifies Clement Conservation Rooflights for projects where rooflights are required.This country office in West Sussex is one of her latest developments. The brief was to convert a residential outbuilding to provide both a home-office and an art studio, all with minimal impact on the historic integrity of the C18th building.After carefully repairing the oak timbers in the roof; new felt, battens, insulation and re-used handmade clay tiles were added. Two Clement 0 rooflights were then fitted and dressed with bespoke lead work. The spaces were completed with two new oak doors, the stripping back of some old brick-work, lime-mortar repairs and new electrics.As the rooflights were slightly out of reach, brass pole winders were fitted and a winding crank is used to open and close the rooflights.Pauline said: “Here at Pauline Sutton Design we are happy to regularly specify Clement Conservation Rooflights within our Material Schedules and Planning Applications. Listed Building Consent applications here in The South Downs National Park especially require the top quality and carefully considered design by Clement.”

This family home is in a notable Conservation Area in Surrey. Over a number of phases Clement has worked with the owners to replace the original fenestration in the house and also provide new steel windows and double doors for the rear extension.Rectangular leaded steel windows in slim EB16 sections were the perfect match to replicate the original windows at the front of the house and most of those at the back, including two beautiful bay windows. The same frames were chosen for the conservatory, but clear glazing was fitted here. This not only lets in plenty of natural light, but the addition of the T bar detail on the double entrance doors means it looks perfectly in keeping with the Arts and Crafts design of this home.The owners said: “Replacing the original 100 year old leaded light windows was a huge decision. Our house is locally listed in a Conservation Area so aesthetics were very important. We wanted to retain the look of the house but also the feel and quality of the windows was important.We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. Clement were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the design, build and installation of the windows, which was very quick in freezing January conditions.The house is quieter, warmer and altogether more comfortable. In fact, a recent energy survey showed that we are losing more heat through the uninsulated cavity walls than through the windows.”

The owners of this attractive, spacious home have recently refurbished and added a kitchen extension. Being situated within a London Conservation Area, it was vital that any new fenestration matched the existing. Clement was chosen to replace the doors and windows with new products from the Brooking and W20 ranges. All the new steel windows and doors are fitted with rectangular leaded lights - not only do they look fabulous, but they also allow a surprising amount of natural light into the house. The client chose dual colour for a number of the windows and French doors on the rear elevation. The outside frames were painted Pure White and the inside Black Grey - perfectly suiting the design and decoration.

This delightful Arts and Crafts home has recently been fitted with new steel windows from the Clement Brooking range and Clement W20 steel doors.As the property is located in the Hampstead Garden Suburb, a Conservation Area, it was imperative that the new bespoke windows and doors closely matched the look of the originals. The fenestration includes a mix of genuine T bars and beautiful Fenestra joints for both the windows and doors but also some charming leaded light windows.Clement has a wealth of experience working within the Suburb and for this project we knew the slim frames of our Brooking range, combined with our W20 doors, would work perfectly for the mix of styles found at this property.The leaded light windows had unique handle plates. We took templates of the existing ones to ensure that the new ones we crafted were very close to the originals.The client said: “"It was very easy working with Clement once we'd made the decision to renew our metal windows. They took great care over the smaller details such as the handle finishes, window hinges and the special decorative detail behind the top floor window pulls. As a result we have new up to date working windows that are fit for purpose, a pleasure to use and look at, and also comply with the Conservation Area and Listed Buildings requirements for this area."

Clement Windows Group supplied conservation rooflights for 1-5 St Paul’s Square in Birmingham. The historic Georgian building houses multiple office units and landmark venue - The Jam House. Opened in 1999 by Jools Holland and designer Neil Tibbat, the multi award winning venue offers live music and fine dining.Clement supplied 11 rooflights for the project, including the Clement 3, 4 and side hung ranges, all in a slate profile.Richard Clews MRICS from Jubb Clews Ltd, the architects working on the project, said:“1-5 St Paul’s Square is a Grade II Listed Building in Central Birmingham that was constructed in c1780 as town houses around a classic Georgian Square. The project included repairing the traditional slate roofs and lead-lined parapet gutters. Key design considerations included improving thermal performance and increasing the capacity of rainwater disposal to accommodate modern storm surges whilst remaining sympathetic to the traditional architectural details. The works were funded from the planned maintenance budget.Clement Conservation Rooflights were perfectly suited to this application. Several of the top hung windows were used for the upper floors whilst the side hung windows were used for the roof maintenance access.”

Typical of most of the houses in the Hampstead Garden Suburb, the style of this beautiful home is influenced by the Arts & Crafts movement.The original steel windows and doors were draughty and no longer fit for purpose and so they needed replacing. The Clement range of Brooking windows, which feature a specialist ‘putty fronted’ system, was chosen together with doors from the Clement W20 range, to match the originals perfectly. The new, bespoke steel doors and windows were painted ‘Jet Black’ on the outside to replicate the previous fenestration and ‘Traffic White’ on the inside to complement the interior. The homeowner said:“I am absolutely delighted with Clement and would recommend them very highly. Their workmen were very professional and swift and they left the house tidy each day. They were a pleasure to have in the house whilst they were doing the work.”

Hampstead Garden Suburb, in north London, is internationally recognised as one of the finest examples of early twentieth century domestic architecture and town planning. It was designated as a Conservation Area in 1968, and the older part of the Suburb was designated a ‘Conservation Area of Outstanding Architectural or Historic Interest’ in 1977.Clement developed the Brooking range of steel windows as sensitive replacements for existing fenestration in the Suburb. The new windows look incredibly similar to the original windows and doors, but offer much improved specification. The owner of this wonderful, detached red brick home chose Clement to manufacture and install the new bespoke steel doors and windows. The slim frames, coupled with handles polyester powder coated to match look perfectly in keeping with the character of the property.Clement Windows Group CEO, Peter Clement, said: “It has been a privilege for us to have enjoyed such a long association with the residents of the Hampstead Garden Suburb. We are proud of our reputation for high quality and innovation, which has been earned following hundreds of successful steel window and door installations at a variety of different properties in the Suburb - from Arts & Crafts to Art Deco to fine individual architect-designed homes. We look forward to being involved in many more projects in the area in the future.”

Clement was thrilled to be asked to manufacture the new steel windows and doors for this spectacular Arts and Crafts style house in the Hampstead Garden Suburb. The new leaded Brooking windows and W20 steel doors, look just like the originals – perhaps even better! Hampstead handles were chosen for the windows and Kensington handles for the doors. They were all polyester powder painted in RAL 9005 Jet Black to match the frames. Our client is really pleased with the end result and said:“We placed a large order with Clement of double glazed leaded doors and windows. From start to finish we received a first-class service and the product quality and finish is superb.”
