Tower Wharf

Kingfisher Windows was proud to be appointed by contractors Watkin Jones to supply and install high-quality windows and doors for the Tower Wharf student accommodation development in Chester. Situated on the scenic canal in the heart of the city, this new build project provides modern, comfortable living space for students, with outstanding views and excellent natural light.

Project Background

The Tower Wharf development was designed to deliver desirable student accommodation in a prominent canal-side location, offering a blend of contemporary design and practical living. With each apartment enjoying views over the water, the specification of windows and balcony doors was a key consideration in achieving both aesthetic appeal and occupant comfort.

What We Supplied

For this project, Kingfisher Windows supplied a bespoke combination of:

• Aluminium casement windows

• Tilt & turn windows

• Thermally broken aluminium balcony doors

These products were chosen to provide excellent performance in terms of thermal efficiency, durability and ease of use — ideal for high-use residential environments such as student housing. The sleek finishes also enhanced the contemporary architectural appearance of the building, creating a striking façade that complements the waterside setting.

Key Benefits for Occupants

• Enhanced Views: Aluminium framed windows and glazed balcony doors maximise the glazed area, allowing plenty of natural light into the apartments and uninterrupted views over the canal.

• Comfort & Performance: Modern window systems deliver improved insulation and weather-proofing compared to older installations, helping maintain comfortable internal temperatures and reducing energy use.

• Long-Lasting Quality: The thermally broken aluminium doors provide additional durability and thermal performance — particularly important in communal and high-traffic environments like student living spaces.

• Conclusion

The Tower Wharf project in Chester represents a strong example of how quality glazing products can enhance both the functionality and visual appeal of contemporary residential developments. Kingfisher Windows’ aluminium windows and doors have helped create an attractive, light-filled environment where students can live comfortably throughout the academic year.
