A residential building project in Kings Norton has installed WindyPods aluminium window pods.The two-phased project worth £9.5 million was completed over a period of six years and produced 92 new homes for rent. They were the first new homes constructed by Birmingham City Council for a generation.The Code 4 new homes are part of the award-winning inaugural Birmingham Municipal Housing Trust programme and have transformed the residential site in the heart of the Kings Norton regeneration plan.WindyPods aluminium window pods have added to the aesthetic appearance of the estate providing unique architectural detailing.

Guttercrest manufactured these WindyPods aluminium window cassettes for a developer working on a small development of private, luxury homes in Cheshire.The modern design of the homes incorporates the window surround as a key feature of the property. Guttercrest worked with the developer to ensure the frames were precision manufactured and easy to fit with an integrated framework system when delivered to site.Finished in a polyester powder coating in RAL 7016, anthracite grey, the window pods will provide a long-lasting, low maintenance architectural feature.WindyPods are compatible with most façade finishes, including timber as shown in this example.Alongside WindyPods frames, the properties also feature other aluminium building products from the Guttercrest Group, including: Ali-Fabs wall coping, Guttercrest fascias, soffits and raked box gutter with round downpipe.
