This project had a conservation covenant on it and consisted of replacing over 60 wood sliding sash windows. Marvin Architectural were subcontracted to Eugena who were the main contractors. Traditional solid wood sliding sash windows were not only used for their beauty but also for their energy efficiency and high performance. Marvin's manufacturing capability and delivery efficiency meant that the project works could be completed in 3-4 weeks, even while the property was occupied.

Originally a Hop Kiln for an adjacent brewery, this building was converted and extended over time for use as offices. A complete strip-out rebuild was required to convert to modern office facility. Marvin sliding sash windows were used to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the development and provide the high performance required in commercial grade buildings. The Kynar finish on the window exterior provides the longest-lasting and least fading finish on the market.

The brief provided to Marvin Architectural for this project was to enhance the oriental style throughout the residence. With this in mind, Marvin Architectural designed the main foyer screen to achieve consistent sight lines for fixed and operating awning units with outswing french doors. The structural steel subframe has been concealed using Marvin's extruded clad mull component system. The project involved the design, supply and installation of curtain wall screens with an aluminium exterior and a stained wood interior.

Originally constructed in 1792 as a jail, Naas Town Hall had various uses up to the 1950's as a cinema, class rooms for the local school and a meeting place for a variety of local clubs over the years. Further modifications and extensions to accommodate a library were carried out in 1904 and included the present day facade.
In the 1950's it was made available to members of the Town Council to provide a meeting chambers and offices. In 2000 the council undertook to refurbish the building and replace the windows.
The brief stated that the new windows had to match the original window profiles and preserve the historical accuracy of the facade. This was particularly important as four of the original windows, which were intact, remained in the front facade.
Marvin windows were chosen by the conservation officer of the council because of their highly customised capability, their slim wood profiles, and because they could be provided with a fully painted finish. The fact that Marvin Architectural has a proven track record in removal and installation of units into residential and historically sensitive buildings was another important consideration for the council in their decision making. In its detailed proposal to replace the windows, Marvin Architectural assured the council of minimal disruption to the interior decor. Marvin's extensive 10/20 year warranties were another reason which swung the contract in their favour.
The style of units chosen was a heritage casemaster style window with a half round and curved top window design with a stationary awning specifically crafted to fit existing openings. Each unit was fully operational and fully painted inside and out.
The outcome of this project is a very good marriage of historical accuracy with the latest glazing technology. As a result, the building will be cosier and more sound proof, thanks to Marvin's Low-E glazing and will continue to serve the community for another 100 years.

The objective was to increase the energy efficiency of the building and the performance of air, wind and water permeability.
The project was very competitive and was awarded to Marvin Architectural, following examination of competitors’ products and specifications. The project involved manufacturing, supplying and fitting over 250 factory complete custom made sliding sash windows as well as some fire rated windows as the existing sliding sash windows of this office block were in an irreparable state. Marvin Architectural had to meet Westminster Council approval and the fire rated windows were submitted for testing to ‘Chiltern’, a certifying body that is part of the ‘Trada Group’.

Griffith College was originally established in 1974. The campus was used over the years as a prison and an army barracks. It also served as a recruitment and training centre for the Irish soldiers who fought on the British side in the First World War. It was handed over to the Free State Troops in 1922 following the end of the War of Independence and the signing of the Treaty. Its name was changed from Wellington to Arthur Griffith Barracks in honour of Arthur Griffith.
