Located in the heart of Bristol’s commercial district, Queen Square stands as one of the city’s most prestigious business addresses. This historic square, which was the largest Georgian square in Britain upon its completion, seamlessly blends architectural heritage with modern business requirements.
The property benefits from exceptional transport connections, with Bristol Temple Meads railway station just 0.5 miles away and convenient access to the M32 and national motorway network within a mile via the ring road. Its central position offers occupants immediate access to Bristol’s vibrant array of retail, dining, and leisure amenities, making it an ideal location for contemporary office space.
The project
TRC Contracts delivered a comprehensive window replacement scheme at Queens Quay, a prominent Grade II listed building in Bristol’s historic Queen Square. The £300K project, specified by AWW architecture, showcased TRC’s expertise in combining heritage aesthetics with modern performance standards.
The installation comprised 52 traditional double glazed box sash windows in hardwood timber for the front elevation, achieving exceptional thermal (U-value: 1.4 W/m²K) and acoustic (36dB) performance. Additionally, 56 Reynaers ultra slim SL38 Ferro aluminium windows were installed, featuring dual colour finishes and matching thermal efficiency. Both systems meet rigorous security and weather resistance standards.
Heritage meets high performance: Traditional box sash windows
For the front elevation of Queens Quay, TRC Contracts manufactured and installed premium hardwood traditional box sash windows, meticulously designed to meet the highest performance standards. These bespoke units deliver exceptional thermal efficiency with a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, while providing superior sound insulation with an acoustic rating of 36dB.
The windows achieve Class 4 air permeability and 4A watertightness certification, ensuring optimal protection against the elements. Enhanced security features meet PAS 24:2016 requirements, while the carefully selected G-Value of 0.4 ensures effective solar gain control. This combination of features creates a window system that perfectly balances heritage aesthetics with modern performance requirements.
Contemporary performance: Reynaers ultra slim SL38 Ferro windows
Complementing the traditional sash windows, TRC installed 56 Reynaers ultra slim SL38 Ferro aluminium windows, selected for their sleek aesthetics and outstanding performance credentials. These inward-opening units feature a sophisticated dual-colour finish and achieve impressive thermal efficiency with a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K.
The system excels in weather resistance, demonstrating Class 4 air permeability (600 Pa), superior watertightness (Class 9A at 600 Pa), and robust wind load resistance (Class C4 at 1600 Pa). Meeting RC2/WK2 European security standards and offering controlled solar gain with a G-Value of 0.4, these windows represent the perfect fusion of contemporary design and technical excellence.
