GREENOCK window manufacturer Blairs is in the running for a prestigious award for an intricate restoration project at a local hotel.
The company is one of just three firms shortlisted in the project of the year category of the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) Heritage Awards.
Blairs is being recognised for a window replacement project at the A-listed Tontine Hotel in Ardgowan Square, Greenock.
A meticulous approach was needed to preserve the building’s historic character while addressing modern performance needs.
The work included manufacturing complex curved bay windows requiring bespoke templates and expert craftsmanship.
Using sustainably sourced timber and traditional joinery techniques, Blairs successfully made suitable timber windows in line with the original aesthetic whilst enhancing thermal performance.
The project showcased the company’s commitment to quality, expertise, and sustainability.
“We are pleased to have the Tontine Hotel project recognised for its excellence in the BWF Heritage Awards,” said Alex Gray, managing director at Blairs Windows and Doors.
“This project demonstrates our ability to deliver high-quality, sustainable solutions that preserve the character of historic buildings while improving their energy efficiency.”
The BWF Heritage Awards recognise outstanding achievements in the conservation and restoration of historic buildings. The winners will be announced in London in November.
