Heritage & Timber
The longstanding solution
» EPWIN WINDOW SYSTEMS ’ PVC-U Vertical Sliding Sash Window System remains the window of choice for Palladian Homes , a developer of exclusive homes in north and east Yorkshire .
Palladian Homes specialises in creating homes with typical sales values of between £ 500k and £ 1m . Each home is built on the fundamental principles of striking design , first-class quality and enduring style . The homes are carefully designed to sit sensitively in the beautiful Yorkshire towns and villages where they are situated , and
the PVC-U Vertical Sliding Sash Window System provides the ideal mix of authentic design and modern-day performance .
Simon Gibbons , founder and Managing Director of Palladian Homes , says : “ The replication of the sliding sash is very close to traditional timber but offers much better performance . It ’ s maintenance-free and we also particularly like the multi-directional opening of the sashes for ease of window cleaning and general use .”
Epwin Window Systems fabricator Quickslide manufactures the windows for Palladian Homes and Simon is delighted with the partnership that has been built up between the two companies over nearly ten years .
He says : “ As a business we benefit from Quickslide ’ s tailored support and a sales team that is especially set up to work directly with house builders and our specialist requirements . We have a oneto-one buying process , with our dedicated
Sales Manager Adam Wray , who ’ s always very helpful . We thoroughly recommend Quickslide , and over the years keeping our business local has also helped each of us support the others ’ ongoing expansion too .”
Quickslide ’ s Sales Director Tom Swallow agrees : “ We ’ re very proud to have worked with Palladian Homes for nearly ten years now . During this time , we ’ ve supplied around 1,320 windows and doors across nine home development sites in Yorkshire .
“ Palladian Homes are the perfect example of what Quickslide and the PVC-U Vertical Sliding Sash Window System from Epwin Window Systems do best – marrying traditional styling with all the comforts of luxury modern living . The results are stunning , and we look forward to many more years working with them .”
