Doors & Windows

HERITAGE THAT HAS IT ALL

» WINDOW INSTALLER JF BODMAN has been operating in the south Yorkshire area for over 50 years , enjoying much repeat business from returning customers in that time . And in turn , there ’ s one supplier they return to themselves : Quickslide .
“ We recently had a returning customer asking for our help with their window and door requirements for a truly stunning home project ,” says Adam Webb , Director at JF Bodman . “ The remit was for 42 authentic-looking sliding sash windows which would deliver the stylish , grand appearance required while also providing the best possible energy efficiency and security .”
For Adam and his team , Quickslide was the obvious choice for the job . “ We ’ ve been buying from Quickslide for the last four to five years ,” Adam explains , “ and my absolute favourite product of theirs is the heritage sliding sash window . It truly replicates timber in nearly all ways , with the added benefits of being uPVC , which our customers love for its durability and low maintenance .”
The project called for fully mechanical sliding sash windows , combining authenticity with functionality .
“ For this project , we chose fully mechanical sliding sash windows in cream woodgrain foil on smooth white , complete with run-through sash horns , astragal bars , satin silver heritage hardware , and matching travel restrictors ” Adam says . “ We also opted for the PAS 24 security upgrade and fire escape feature in locations where required . Despite the scope of the project , we met our five-week deadline comfortably from window order to installation .”
JF Bodman supplies and installs doors and windows to both homeowners and construction companies . “ We ’ ve earned our reputation through attention to detail ,” says Adam , “ and pride ourselves on our customer service , work ethic , and ability to help our clients get the results they desire .
“ We use Quickslide because they provide such a quality product at a competitive cost , on time and in full . That level of reliability is crucial for our business because it ensures we never lose time on projects . My advice to any installers who value the same is to give Quickslide a try . You won ’ t be disappointed .”

» EUROCELL ’ S TECHNICAL Panel has shared some of its latest innovations it ’ s been testing as well as a new CPD to support the evolution of best practice in the industry and to ensure customers can meet emerging market trends .
Due to the popularity and trend towards larger size tilt & turn windows , Eurocell has fully type tested a Logik Tilt & Turn window at a whopping 1m wide by 2.1m high . Driven from the commercial sector
for rapid ventilation in student accommodation properties , the window has a grille or louvre set up on the outside .
A full report is available on request for customers , should they get enquiries of this nature . The report includes PAS24 , BS6375 and a cyclic test of 10,000 operations .
Eurocell has also improved fit and function of its VS run through horn detail . Those customers who buy pre-milled kits from Eurocell , will now see a marked improvement in the end cap fit . The improvement was gained by purchase on a new end miller and diamond cutters . The machine is fully automatic , ensuring a perfect cut every time .
These tests are born out of discussions among Eurocell ’ s
Technical Panel , which meets every month to run through customer and market needs to drive product innovation and support . The panel is headed up by Gary Driscoll , Sales & Commercial Director and includes experts from right across Eurocell : Ian Kernaghan – Head of Product , Design & Development Sean Bunyan – Head of Extended Living Gary Doxey – Commercial Manager Martin Benn – Head of New Build
