Major Milestone Xtremely Xciting
2020 represents a major
milestone for one of the
UK’s leading composite
door manufacturer and
PVCu panel supplier. The
award-winning Vista has
proudly been supplying
fabricators across the
UK and Europe
since 1995.
» MANAGING
Director Keith Sadler has
been at the helm since the
very beginning, working his
way up from tea boy to MD and
is extremely proud of reaching the
quarter-century landmark.
“Since the very beginning our customer’s
requirements have been at the centre of
everything we do and that stems from the
products, lead times and service we provide,”
explained Keith.
“What we have been able to add to that
is experience, which goes a long way in this
industry, and longevity in this market is
something to be acknowledged.
“Because we have honoured two and a half
decades of warranties, our customers have a
huge sense of confidence when purchasing
our products and that really helps us approach
prospective accounts who are considering
switching to us too.
“Our experience and reliability, alongside
our products and service, have stood the test
of time, and 25 years speaks for itself.
“By our estimates we have manufactured
more than 2.5 million PVCu infill panels and
850,000 composite door sets so we are doing
something right.”
As one of the longest standing infill panel
manufacturers, some of the industry’s largest
fabricators have been selling Vista’s PVCu panel
collection for as long as Vista have been making
them. And Vista now manufactures in excess of
2,500 door products per week from its state of
the art 45,000 sq ft factory on the Wirral.
“While we are now at the forefront of the
composite door market, we’ve never taken our

eyes off the manufacture of PVCu
panels and I think one of the reasons for
our sustained success is that we have been able to
cater for all our customers,” said Keith.
A PIONEERING REBRAND
It was Vista’s launch of XtremeDoor in 2014
that took the composite door market by storm.
One of the most high-spec composite doors
around, XtremeDoor brings all the finest
components on the market together in one
composite door, including enhanced security
and first-class weather performance, boasting
Q Mark Certification and Secured by Design
accreditation.
The door is also available in a whole host of
stylish designs and, thanks to Vista’s in-house
spray facility, can be finished in any RAL
colour.
Keith said: “In 2013 demand for composite
doors had grown substantially and we saw a
gap in the market for a high specification door
offering the very best in thermal efficiency,
security and aesthetics.
“We called the product XtremeDoor because
it does everything to the extreme. It stands head
and shoulders above other composite doors on
the market today and has proved a huge hit.”
Vista’s installation team appeared on an
episode of popular TV show DIY SOS when
installing 14 XtremeDoors on refurbished
properties on houses in a street in Manchester
for war veterans.
And XtremeDoor was also part of a huge
regeneration project with property specialists
Placefirst to refurbish Liverpool’s iconic
Victorian Welsh Streets of Toxteth, helping the
development scoop numerous awards in the
process.
STRIVING FOR MORE
You could be forgiven for thinking a
company might rest on its laurels after 25
years but for Vista, its success has been very
much based on moving forward.
Last year Vista completed the next phase of
its investment strategy with £750,000 worth
of new machinery installed at its factory.
And the company finished 2019 with a
prestigious award; scooping the Fabricator/
Manufacturer of the Year award at the 2019
National Fenestration Awards (NFAs).
Recognising fabricators and manufacturers
that push the boundaries when it comes to
product choice and customer service, Vista
received 46.96% of the vote from those within
the industry.
“Our success has been built on consistent
investment in new products, machinery
and service to meet increasing demand and
maintain our high standards for customers,”
added Keith.
“I think what our most recent NFA award
showcases is our continuing quality, even after
25 years, and getting nominated for the award
by our peers also backs that up.
“At Vista, we have always strived to improve
year-on-year – and everything is geared up for
many successful years to come.”
