The Brief
Grenville was approached by a leading steel window manufacturer to fabricate 48 trapezoidal roof windows for a major restoration project of a Grade II listed Roundhouse in the East Midlands.
A major challenge to overcome was that each individual roof window was required to be customised with a variations in dimensions and angles, to allow each roof window to perfectly fit around the hip of the circular roof.
The project was also to be completed within a very strict time frame.

As the preferred provider, Grenville had the expertise and capability to complete a complex project of this nature. A project team was assigned from the planning department through to shop floor to ensure full focus was given. A dedicated Planning Engineer worked in conjunction with the client’s Design Team to ensure each unique roof window was manufactured to specification via 3D CAD software.
Once the 3D design was signed off, the bespoke roof window was manufactured using a combination of fabrication services. The stainless steel material was cut using a Trumphf laser then pressed by a Bystronic press brake, welded and assembled as per the specification. The progress of the project was easily traceable through the advanced ERP system. Inspections were carried out at each manufacturing process to ensure that the end product was exactly as per the client’s requirements and in compliance with their 10 year guarantee.
