Clement Conservation Rooflights Chosen for Grade II Listed Building in Birmingham

CLEMENT Windows Group recently supplied conservation rooflights for 1-5 St Paul’s Square in Birmingham. The historic, listed Georgian building houses multiple offices, as well as a 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 in total for the project from the Clement 3, 4 and side hung ranges, all in a slate profile.

Grade II Listed Building

Richard Clews MRICS from Jubb Clews Ltd, the architects working on the project, commented: “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.”

Clement Conservation Rooflights

Clement is the only company to offer two profiles for different roof types. Originally developed for tile and slate roofs, the range has been successfully installed into roofs made of zinc, thatch and corrugated materials in recent years.

Available in eight standard sizes, Clement’s skylights are constructed using mild steel sheet which makes them particularly strong. The surface is coated in polyzinc and then polyester powder paint for durability and to give the rooflights a good-looking finish.

Clement’s roof windows are made from high performance, argon filled, 24mm insulated glass units and come with a revolutionary warm T bar system. Available with several glazing options, including self-cleaning glass as standard, they are manufactured to EN ISO 9001 standards and rigorously tested against air, wind and rain to BS6375, achieving a BFRC Window Energy Rating of A+.

The standard range of rooflights is generally available for delivery in 2-3 working days. If one of the standard sizes is not appropriate, bespoke rooflights are also available.

Clement Windows Group manufacture an innovative range of steel windows, doors, screens and rooflights. The company specialises in conservation work for both private residences and commercial projects.
