Building Finishes

We offer a wide variety of external finishes including brick slip, steel-clad, PVC timber effect cladding and natural wood. 

External Cladding

External cladding can make a huge difference to how your building looks and we have lots of options for you to choose from. Some of the materials we use are available in a variety of colours and include:

• Plastisol steel
• Brick slip
• Cedar clad
• PVC cladding
• Laminate

Windows

Our windows come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours including:

• Square
• Round
• Picture windows
• Architectural windows
• Special shape

At Springfield, all of our windows come with some standard features to create a safe and secure environment in your new building. These include:

• UPVC – low maintenance, recyclable, durable, rot-resistant and provides thermal comfort.
• Pilkington "K" Glass - helps considerably in reducing the amount of energy required to heat a room. 
• Double Glazing – insulation, noise reduction and security are provided through the use of double glazing. 
• Lockable Handles – high-level security.

On top of the standard features, you can choose from a combination of the below:

• Tinted – To help prevent the sun’s glare and UV rays from entering the building.
• Trickle Vents – These can be fitted to windows to provide the whole building with ventilation and provide air to the extract fans, aiding in the removal of odours and humidity.
• Argon Filled - Argon is used to increase the energy efficiency and general performance of thermal windows. Argon-filled windows bring the temperature of the window closer to room temperature.
• Solar Tinted – Having solar tinted windows helps eliminate hot spots in the building, regulates the amount of light entering each room and reduces glare on computer screens.
• Laminated - Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an interlayer between two or more layers of glass.
• Toughened – Toughened glass is up to five times stronger than regular glass and is specially treated so that it will break into small, blunt pieces under pressure.

Roofing

Choose from a flat or pitched roof with a variety of colour and tile profiles, with the ability to match cladding or stand apart.
