Minimal patient disruption was a key requirement of FineLine Windows during its window refurbishment at the Royal Sussex County Hospital.

The £330,000 contract involved replacement windows for the hospital's Charles Barrie and Jubilee buildings.

A programme was developed to ensure the maximum number of beds would remain in use during the window replacement work.

For the refurbishment the Kent firm produced more than 500 Sheerframe vertically sliding sash windows, plus a further 300 tilt and turn windows, and installed them at the hospital.

The Sheerframe PVC-U vertically sliding sash fitted well with the original Victorian hospital buildings. The tilt and turn Sheerframe windows complemented the traditional style in the more modern elements of the building.

The frames aim to reduce maintenance during the life of the windows and improve energy efficiency.
