Bamboo Façades has entered a three-year partnership with Stellar Aluminium Systems, marking a major shift in the company’s approach to commercial aluminium window and door supply.
Previously outsourcing its aluminium fenestration requirements, Bamboo Façades has pivoted to direct in-house fabrication to maintain tighter control of quality, project certainty and installation performance. The new agreement supports the company’s move into an additional 6,500 sq ft fabrication facility in Runcorn, situated near to its existing operational site.
Managing Director of Bamboo Façades, Mark Austin, who previously worked for Stellar Aluminium, said the decision was a natural evolution for the business. He commented: “We know the Stellar system inside out and it’s incredibly straightforward to fabricate and easy to install. The fully flush windows are particularly efficient as there’s no requirement to prep through the beads, which significantly speeds up fabrication and improves consistency on the shop floor. By bringing aluminium fabrication under our own roof, we’re removing variables, increasing efficiency and ensuring our commercial projects benefit from the highest level of technical precision every single time.”
With an extensive track record in delivering complex commercial projects, Bamboo Façades selected Stellar Aluminium for the reliability of its supply chain and the responsiveness of its service. Mark added: “A major reason for choosing Stellar is the fact that their lead times and service levels are miles ahead of other aluminium system suppliers. Being able to place an order and have material delivered the following week, without delays or shortages, is a massive advantage. It means we have more time in the design phase which is often the biggest bottleneck in a construction programme. With other aluminium systems, materials need to be ordered months in advance, often at an early design stage, which can introduce unnecessary risk. Stellar gives us far greater flexibility and programme certainty.”
Bamboo Façades has already secured a flagship commercial new build and heritage refurbishment project where more than 200 Stellar aluminium windows and doors will be manufactured and installed over the coming months.
Mark said: “This partnership enhances our ability to collaborate seamlessly with clients, consultants and contractors. It strengthens supply chain resilience, improves cost certainty and ultimately drives better project outcomes.”
Joe Leeming, Key Account Manager at Stellar Aluminium, commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Bamboo Façades as a fabrication partner. Their technical expertise, commercial capability and commitment to high-quality delivery make them an excellent ambassador for the Stellar brand. We look forward to supporting their continued expansion as demand for Stellar in the commercial sector grows.”
