IT IN HOME
AND GARDEN
AWARDS
» HS TRADE HAS RECENTLY WON IN
the Build 2020 Home and Garden Awards, as
best independent window and door manufacturer
– East Midlands, which is represented by its new
Made By Sedgebrook brand.
Over the last 12 months, HS Trade has
invested heavily in the development of its
Timberweld manufactured R7 and R9
windows and doors, which are now promoted
under the Made By Sedgebrook brand, as
the company looks to drive growth for The
Residence Collection. The award received was
for their new dedicated manufacturing facility
for this unique and exquisite product range in
Grantham, Nottinghamshire.
Michael Gromett, managing director
of HS Trade commented: “We’ve invested
considerably in this new manufacturing
facility for R7 and R9 and it’s the focal point
of our business. These windows and doors
are also perfectly suited to the Timberweld
manufacturing process, due to their
outstanding quality and consistent 3mm wall
thickness. What we make in this new facility
are hand crafted windows and doors with a
tolerance of just 0.2mm. It’s the careful detail,
care and attention that we pour into each
frame that really makes a difference for us and
our customers, who demand the best.”
Sarah Hitchings, sales and marketing
director of The Residence Collection
concluded: “We’re all thrilled with the award
for HS Trade, but what really sets them apart
along with our other manufacturing partners
is in the most exacting detail and care taken in
each frame made. That’s why The Residence
Collection is the defining PVCu systems brand
of the moment.”

STEEL REINFORCEMENT AND
ALUMINIUM MESH CORE ON ALL
DOORS IMPROVES SECURITY
Apeer has significantly improved the security across the
entire range of its Apeer-branded residential composite
doors, with the addition of steel reinforcement to
the hinge stile together with strengthened aluminium
mesh embedded in the core of every door that it
manufactures at its Ballymena, County Antrim factory.
» INCLUDED AS PART OF THE
standard specification across the board and
at no increased cost, the reinforcements will
be screwed and bonded into the high-density
polyurethane core of each hand-made door.
The result is a composite door that offers
the highest levels of thermal insulation and
security, with no risk of water absorption.
“The composite door market is highly
competitive,” explained Asa McGillian,
Apeer’s Managing Director. “Homeowners
have never been better informed and are now
able not only to research every purchase that
they may be considering, but increasingly to
understand the technical as well as aesthetic
differences between products. When they
compare Apeer doors with others, they will
find our products compare very favourably
with every other composite door on the
market.”
