Located in the heart of Chelsea and offering easy access to both Fulham Road and Kings Road, Elm Park Gardens comprises multiple blocks.
TRC embarked on the demanding task of surveying the existing windows and balcony doors, obtaining precise manufacturing measurements from within the flats, all without the need for external scaffolding. They maintained a close collaboration with the primary contractor and coordinated appointments with residents over a span of six months.
Working within occupied flats, TRC ensured that residents’ expectations were met with cleanliness, protection, and politeness while installing the new bespoke timber windows and balcony doors.
The project
The comprehensive window replacement project covered the following aspects:
The new traditional box sash windows were meticulously matched with the original style and proportions, including shape, glazing bar size and placement, overall glazing patterns, opening methods, materials, and finishes.
To meet energy efficiency standards, it was ensured that all replacement windows had a U-value of 1.4 calculated by the standards of EN ISO 10077-1:2006. The lower the U-value the lower the energy loss (typically, new sash windows should achieve a U-value of 1.6 W/m2⋅K or lower).
Lastly, ventilation was provided via controllable Titon XS16 4600EA trickle ventilators, dependent on the width of the frame.
