Skyline was the perfect finishing touch to four new Channel Island homes

Skyline case study - former nursing home site development - Jersey

Skyline Aluminium Facia and Soffit provided the perfect finishing touch for four £2 million homes on the site of a former nursing home in Jersey.

The design of the new homes called for a practical facia and soffit system which would be aesthetically pleasing and competitively priced. Godel Architects worked with the developer, contractor and the UK manufacturer of Skyline, Alumasc, to achieve the perfect look.

“We specified Skyline because we know we can rely on it,” says Contractor Jeff Russ. “It’s easy to handle and its lightweight modular design means it’s easy to fit too. It’s maintenance free, durable and because it’s available in a wide range of colours and design options we know it will look great too.”

Skyline’s Technical Sales Manager, Ivan Colvil, added: “Our extensive range and bespoke options means we can be flexible to the specific design requirements of any project. For example when we were asked for wide soffits and fascia for the balconies, we were able to engineer the design to achieve the right product, to the exact specification, within the required timeframe and budget.”

Rainclear have only added a standardised, although still considerable range of Skyline Aluminium Fascia and Soffit profiles and sizes to their website, simplifying and speeding up the selection and purchase journey for their online customers. They contact customers after checkout to confirm the RAL colour required (and the exact depth or width from within the size range purchased).

But if visitors to the website do not find what they need listed there, Rainclear’s friendly, knowledgeable team can deal directly with Skyline’s technical team on a customer’s behalf to help access the more bespoke possibilities that are also available.

As Anthony Hitchman, Commercial Manager at Rainclear, had to say: “We felt that the 4 fascia profiles with either 1,2,3 or 4 bends, available in 5 depth ranges from 75mm to circa 600mm; and the 2 soffit profiles with either no bends or 4 bends, also available in 5 width ranges from 75mm to circa 600mm; all available in any of 26 RAL colours – should be the ideal options for most domestic and residential new build, refurbishment or home improvement projects. So, we kept the online offer to these choices to make life easier for our customers. We’re also offering 20% off at the moment, making it easier on customers’ wallets & purses too!”
