| 111 The Hawthorndale Care Village Hawthorndale Care Village aims to create a friendly suburban neighbourhood feeling. LIFESTYLE Lewis Windows feels privileged to be involved with supplying its high quality products to another lagship project such as the Hawthorndale Care Village in Invercargill, director Neil Lewis says. For the past 50 years, Lewis Windows have been synonymous with commercial architecture and residential projects throughout Southland and Central Otago. The company is proud to have been the recipient of the Fletcher Aluminium Vistalite Gold award for the best brand practice and systems compliance for six consecutive years, which re lects the values and ethos it was founded on. During the early 1970’s Neil saw that the aluminium joinery industry was awash with lightweight products, with an emphasis on reducing cost at every turn. “I saw this as an opportunity to improve the customer o ering and in doing so strive to be responsible industry leaders.” Manufacturing from a prominent 2000 square metre building in Bond Street, Invercargill, Lewis Windows has seen very strong growth in the southern and Central Otago region, particularly in the past 12 years. “Investing in CNC machinery has further solidi ied our competitive advantage in the area and this has enabled us to adapt to this growth, utilising a volume capacity factory with a very capable sta of 30.” Window and door designs have progressively advanced, and Lewis Windows can now provide customers with more options than ever before. With the advent of updated building code requirements looking to reduce energy wastage, there is new demand for superior window and door solutions for all home owners, with the resulting warmer and drier homes creating a better and more comfortable environment. New generation thermally broken aluminium joinery is designed to improve insulation, reduce noise, increase strength while virtually eliminating condensation. Lewis Windows uPVC joinery systems supplier is one of the top German uPVC providers globally. This product line is available in tilt turn, open inwards windows and doors and also the traditional open outwards systems which provides for better weathering in higher latitudes such as southern New Zealand. For the best of both worlds, Lewis Windows also manufacture Alti (aluminium and timber) exterior joinery, a composite product which is a timber window with an aluminium clad exterior, ideal for traditional residential homes. In colder climate zones, the building code for residential homes requires a window to deliver a thermal resistance of R0.50. “At Lewis’s we can exceed that R value using the latest technology in thermal low E double and triple glazing. Add to that, argon or krypton gas ill with low emissivity glass and you can arrive at the very best option for home comfort.” Neil says choosing the right products for a house or commercial building takes a lot of thought and research, but from inception to completion, Lewis Windows’ team of experts will help with choices in style, shape, colour and materials from their extensive range.
