Over 300 Optima casement windows and 60 doors from Profile 22 were used in a new 85-bed care home and 45 assisted living apartments in Sutton Coldfield.

The window and door contract were awarded to new build and commercial window company Sutton Designs in Kingstanding, Birmingham, with manufacturing undertaken by Profile 22’s Approved Commercial Manufacturer, Central Window Systems in West Bromwich.

The window and door system specified for the project was the award-winning Optima from Profile 22, a fully-integrated 70mm system which offers a step-change in advanced window design.

The high-specification system comes with an impressive set of credentials and design flexibility to meet commercial project requirements. For this project, all windows were fitted with open-out restrictors for the safety of the residents and all windows and doors needed to comply with fire and smoke escape protection measures.

Optima offers structural strength and high-security features, and casement windows are PAS24:2016 approved as standard which was important to meet the project specification.

The windows and doors were manufactured in Anthracite Grey on White to match other developments in the building contractor’s portfolio and to create a sleek, modern aluminium aesthetic.

The completed project will provide modern and well-equipped homes for the residents. Jon Gregory, Owner of Sutton Design, concludes: “The quality of Optima from Profile 22 and the commercial expertise of Central Window Systems were fundamental to the project’s success. This is a very impressive development and we were delighted to have been part of its construction."
