Chocolate factory conversion
October 2016

The Grade II former Terry’s chocolate factory in York has been transformed into more than 170 luxury apartments and penthouses including more than 1,000 aluminium windows supplied and installed by TOTAL GLASS.

The installation included the use of Reynaers CS24-SL steel replacement three-chamber window system to replicate the appearance of steel-framed windows.

All the windows were specified in a RAL 9002 matt white powder-coated finish and fitted into two elevations and two gables of the building. They also featured integral duplex spacer bars within the sealed glazed units and powder-coated astragal bars.

The manufacture included the design of specialist brackets to secure the windows. Stuart Holt, Total Glass Commercial Aluminium Manager said: “This is a landmark building and it’s a privilege to have been involved with such a high-profile and successful conversion project.”

The art deco factory, commissioned by Noel and Frank Terry, was opened in 1926. Taken over by Kraft in 1993, the factory finally closed in 2005.
