College is for shedding light on a world of thought and ideas. This is the rare case of a university doing so both literally and figuratively. When King’s College in London needed window coverings during a recent remodel, they turned to their OEM, Taylormade Joinery in Suffolk. In looking for a dimensionally stable, fire-rated, long lasting and, most importantly, aesthetically pleasing solution, their product distributor, Timbmet Silverman in Oxford, knew just who to turn to next: Contact Industries.
Contact was able to meet the needs of King’s College by providing 1,210 pieces of aluminum wrapped with a white oak veneer, which is 92,503 total lineal feet of vertical blinds. Now the windows at King’s College not only shed light literally when needed, they also shed light figuratively on the versatility and practicality of Contact’s products. Which truly is a royal match.
