65,000 and counting : fabricating milestone in Blackpool factory

» MANUFACTURERS OF THE ever-popular Timberlook Window and door range , Affordable Window Systems , has reached a uniquely significant milestone in its Blackpool factory by fabricating its 65,000th Timberlook window .
Launched by Affordable Windows just six years ago , Timberlook has quickly become one of the company ’ s flagship
brands , demonstrating the enduring popularity of uPVC flush sash windows . The range has been designed with painstaking attention to detail , replicating the aesthetics of heritage timber frames featured nationwide in historic and rural areas . Modern requirements are easily catered for with low U-values and Timberwelded joints . However , care has also been taken to retain the appearance of a traditional window by concealing trickle vents externally and having the slimmest astragal bar on the market .
Affordable Windows is also aware of the need to supply into the conservation market and has produced a specifiers guide showing all cross-sectional details of the window and its ancillary profiles such as cills , transom weather bar and astragal detail . Both this and the new brochure are available on the new Timberlook website .
The popularity of Timberlook windows and doors is indicative of the continuing demand for heritage products that incorporate updated features . As Sales Manager Ryan Fisher comments : “ We have seen huge success with the Timberlook range , especially with installers willing to embrace the heritage market that homeowners are demanding .
“ We are thrilled to be two-thirds of the way to 100,000 frames in six short years . Our new purpose-built factory will continue to play a pivotal role in supporting the expansion of this crucial facet of the business . The potential for installers to engage in this market is enormous and is growing yearly . Installers can contact us directly to find out more .”
