Galwad Y Môr is a high-specification residential development in a prime north Wales coastal location, comprising nine three- and four-bedroom townhouses, two four- and five bedroom semi-detached homes and three affordable two-bedroom apartments.
With expansive glazing designed to maximise views across the Conwy Estuary to Anglesey, alongside the challenges of an exposed coastal environment, the project demanded window and door systems that could deliver assured performance, long-term durability and a refined contemporary finish.
Main contractor Marshall CDP appointed Heritage Trade Frames, an Approved Commercial fabricator with over 30 years’ experience, together with specialist installer NR Windows Ltd, ensuring the right expertise was in place from manufacture through to installation.
Designed for compliance and coastal conditions
Profile 22 PVC-U window and door systems, alongside PatioMaster sliding doors, were selected for their ability to meet the stringent technical requirements of the project, reducing specification risk for the developer.
The products achieved air permeability to BS 6375 Part 1 Table 1 (600Pa severe rating), water tightness to BS EN 1027 (600Pa severe rating) and wind resistance to BS EN 12211 / BS 6375 Part 1 (2400Pa severe rating), providing confidence in performance in exposed coastal conditions.
Specification was further strengthened with highly corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel hinges, supporting long-term reliability and minimising maintenance requirements in a harsh marine environment.
Maximising value through design and performance
From a design perspective, Profile 22’s sculptured casement windows delivered clean, contemporary sightlines, while PatioMaster sliding doors enabled large glazed openings maximising natural light and enhancing the development’s premium coastal position.
The Anthracite on White finish provides a strong visual contrast aligned with modern architectural trends, supported by an extended colour guarantee of up to 15 years helping protect the long-term appearance and value of the properties.
Across the development, approximately 100 Profile 22 window and door units and PatioMaster sliding doors were installed, alongside composite doors.
Reliable delivery from manufacture to installation
Close coordination between Heritage Trade Frames and NR Windows Ltd ensured all Profile 22 and PatioMaster products were manufactured and installed to exacting standards, supporting programme certainty and consistent quality across the build.
Adding long-term value for developers and homeowners
At Galwad Y Môr, the use of Profile 22 and PatioMaster products deliver on the aesthetic appeal of the project. They also provide proven compliance, dependable performance in a coastal environment and confidence in long-term durability helping safeguard the developer’s investment while enhancing the appeal and longevity of the properties.
