The Draycott, Sloane Square, Chelsea, London

16 May 2019
Case study

A superb redevelopment of a Dutch-style 19th century building to create a 20,000 sq. ft property, containing ten stunning luxury apartments. enhanced by the supply and installation of the UK’s premium timber window and door brand.

Lomax + Wood were specified on this substantial project, set within the Cadogan Estate, in order to provide historically correct sightlines from their made-to-order range of timber sash windows and doors.

The external façade was retained and naturally the architect and developer wished to provide high performance timber windows and doors, both acoustically and thermally. Lomax + Wood are specialists in providing timber sash windows, casement and doors that mix historical details with security and high performance. The Lomax + Wood offer is essential when trying to meet stringent conservation area requirements, which was of course the case here with the building adjacent to Sloane Square and the King’s Road in London.

  • Engineered knot free timber
  • 3 coat factory finish
  • 20mm wide glazing bars
  • 6.4/14/4 LAM Silence/Argon/Plantitherm Ultra Low E
  • Concealed trickle vents
  • Ironmongery finish oil rubbed bronze

The Lomax + Wood range of timber windows and doors are produced with knot free engineered timber, combined with micro-porous spray applied paint and UK designed and tested details. The attention to detail, premium quality products and an installation service has seen Lomax + Wood rise to become one of the UK’s most specified made-to-order timber window brands. With the sash windows and French doors on this prestigious London project supplied and fitted, both the architect and developer had confidence that their lives would be made easier with only one point of contact. Lomax + Wood were also able to provide their warehouse service which allowed for the windows and doors to be stored in a controlled environment and only delivered to site, with the harsh conditions that entails, until the actual point of fitting.

The Essex Lomax + Wood showroom has been enhanced with the addition of an internal door display and aluminium composite windows and doors. These have been added to the Lomax + Wood timber windows and door offer to allow our customers to purchase more from the same brand and continue to meet the increasing demand for the Lomax + Wood supply and fit service.
