With a Scottish distribution centre located in Cumbernauld, Carl F Groupco has a strong track record in Scotland and a partnership with Cairngorm Group that dates back to 2004.
In 2013, Cairngorm Group began working with award-winning new home builder, Springfield.
Recently, the Inverness-based Group has won a contract that resulted in the company supplying its ninth Springfield development, ranging from 50 – 100 mixed dwellings.
Commenting on the company's success supplying Springfield, and the input of Carl F Groupco, David Dowling, Managing Director of Cairngorm Group said: " An ability to provide a PVCu alternative for timber windows, while maintaining aesthetics and functionality with PN reversible window gearing supplied by Carl F Groupco, was pivotal in Springfield's decision to work with Cairngorm Group. The PN reversible hinge is particularly important as Scottish Building Regulations stipulate that it must be possible to clean upstairs windows from the inside.

"Carl F Groupco has also supported this contract with the Trojan Patriot hinge, which has been colour matched to complement the design requirements of this development. Colour continues to be a hot trend – for this particular scheme, an anthracite grey RAL 7016 outer was selected with white inner window and door frames."
Elsewhere, Cairngorm Group has achieved an additional contract success with Compass Building and Construction Services. Working on behalf of Albyn Housing Association, the four-year contract (which is in it's second year) will result in 66 houses being renovated during this phase.
Originally built in the 1970s to accommodate oil rig workers, timber windows have previously been replaced. However, PVCu windows have now been selected to offer enhanced durability and longevity.
Having successfully fulfilled the security and insulation standards required, the social landlord & local authority sector is a market set for further development by Cairngorm Group.
Established in 1988, Cairngorm Group is active in trade, commercial and domestic markets. A significant increase in both new build and local council contracts has seen growth in fabrication to around 500 frames per week. Services provided by Carl F Groupco include product supply, hardware selection support and regulations advice.
