MAJOR PROPERTY RENOVATION
» » A CARLISLE-BASED SWISH
customer has completed a large-scale
renovation project where 15 casement
windows and three stable doors were specified
in the Swish 24/7 system.
The complete project was supplied and
installed by Swish installer, World Group, and
took around 12 months to complete
However, wasn’t without its challenges,
as Director Matthew Spooner explains.
“Cumbria may be an area of picturesque
villages and attractive lakes, but it offers
many challenges in terms of wind exposure
due to our geographical location, so getting
the right product to meet the environmental
needs was crucial. The property wasn’t that
old, however certain parts of the building
were exposed and it meant a complete refurb
was required and all windows and doors
required replacing.”
The homeowners commented: “We are
thrilled with the work that World Group have
completed on our home’s renovation. The
colour of the windows and doors is lovely and
we were also impressed with the way all the
staff were considerate, knowledgeable and took
pride in their work. We would not hesitate to
recommend them for a wide range of property
improvements – they offered a great product
at a great price!”

READY TO BREAK INTO NEW MARKETS
Residence Collection expands markets
for PVCu fabricators & installers
» » ESSEX BASED TRADE FABRICATOR
U70 is manufacturing Residence 7 (R7) to
enable customers to sell into larger properties
and more prestigious developments.
R7 is the stand-out 75mm premium flush
system from Residence Collection. It’s flush on
the outside so it looks like traditional timber
windows, but it’s also flush on the inside,
giving it a sleek modern feel perfect for most
types of home.
U70 Sales & Marketing Manager Allan
Wilding says: “R7 is a great addition to
our customers’ ranges, and it’s proving very
successful in attracting new customers. High
profile installers are very interested, so we
make it easy for them to add R7 to their
upmarket showrooms.”
U70 already fabricates Residence 9 (R9),
and has a loyal customer base. It’s added R7
to open up a larger market for flush sash
windows.
“R7 opens up new avenues for us because
it’s a very different product. It looks the same
as R9 from the outside, but it doesn’t carry
the same premium as R9,” adds Allan. “R7
is very competitive, and, like R9, transforms
properties in a way that other PVC windows
can’t.”

demand sensitivity to the original appearance
of many properties, 12 Profile 22 windows
were supplied by P22 customer, FrameXpress
for a picturesque Cotswolds cottage.
“The homeowner’s brief was for a perfect
visual match in relation to the style of
all windows at the property, primarily to
complement the area, which is recognised for
its rolling hills and picture-postcard cottages,”
explains Sales Manager Ian Davis. “Requesting
cream windows and doors that would match
the surrounding properties, the homeowners
needed a solid guarantee that the products
could replicate the original heritage look,

or we would have lost out on the contract.
After showing the homeowner samples of the
Profile 22 windows and discussing technical
requirements, we were thrilled to win the
contract.
“One contributing factor to our winning
the contract was the inclusion of a 50mm
plant-on bar to the glass, which was also
possible to colour match. The complete
project compromised of 12 windows and
2 sets of French doors; all of which are A
rated for excellent energy efficiency. Special
mounted bars, cream foiling and advanced
security features completed the windows, and
due to a tight deadline, the windows were
manufactured and installed quickly.”
