HERITAGE
Traditional
look with 21st
century benefits
NEW HERITAGE
HARDWARE RANGE
» » KENRICK HAS
launched a suited range of
heritage hardware, which has been
developed to bring a period feel
to both PVCu and aluminium
windows.
Combining the traditional
aesthetics of 19th century
ironmongery with the durability
and performance of modern
hardware, the new range is
available in monkey tail and tear
drop styles and includes handles,
stays and dummy stays.
The Heritage Range suits any
style of PVCu or aluminium
window and is particularly well-
suited to flush sash windows,
which are growing rapidly in
popularity as Steve Williams,
Kenrick’s sales and marketing
director explains:
“The market for flush sash
windows is booming at the
moment and nearly half of
fabricators see them becoming as
important as standard casement
windows within the next decade.
Demand for the flush sash has
been fueled by homeowners
and developers who want an
authentic-looking alternative
to timber that will suit both
older homes and new-build
properties.
“We introduced this versatile
new range in response to
customer feedback and it is
already proving popular with
those who want to tap into
the growing heritage market
and make the most of the sales
opportunities it brings.”
The new Heritage Range comes
in multiple finishes, including
white, gold, chrome, smoked
chrome, antique black and satin
silver. Handles are supplied right
and left-handed and have a key
locking facility. The range can be
adapted to suit any application
with a choice of fully functioning
furniture or dummy stays that are
fixed to the sash for display.
Zinc casted for extra durability,
the Kenrick range is fully salt
spray tested to 240 hours to
exceed BSEN 1670:2007
and comes with a full 10-year
mechanical guarantee. It is
compatible with Kenrick’s
extensive range of espagnolette
and shootbolt locking systems.
Kenrick is a leading supplier
of hardware solutions for PVCu,
aluminium and timber window
and door systems. The company
has a proud heritage spanning
more than 200 years, having been
established by Archibald Kenrick
who manufactured buckles and
livery fittings. Kenrick’s range
of top-quality products includes
the market leading Excalibur
multi-point locking system, the
four-point Centurion system
and the Easifit and Espagnolette
locking systems.

windows becoming increasingly
popular among style-conscious
consumers, leading fabricator
The Glazerite UK Group Ltd
can help installers deliver
traditional-look uPVC solutions
to suit every customer budget.
With three flush sash styles
available from the Residence
Collection and Halo, and the
Imagine Vertical Slider from
VEKA, Glazerite is continuing
to expand its heritage range
to accommodate consumer
demand, and further support its
installers. The Imagine Vertical
Slider is also available in a
mechanically jointed version,
with a mechanically jointed
Halo Flush Sash alternative
launching later this year.
Glazerite installers also have
access to sales and marketing
support from the fabricator. Their
Heritage Range brochure features
a collection of traditional-style
windows, doors and hardware
– including the Pear Drop and
Monkey Tail – and is backed up
by a suite of marketing materials.
This includes drop cards, banner
stands, posters and counter
display units, which can be
tailored with the installer’s own
branding and company details.
Consumers are increasingly
embracing the benefits of uPVC
over wood; not only are styles
such as the Halo Flush Sash and
R9 aesthetically appealing and
a close replica of timber, they’re
also energy efficient and secure,
with a host of colours and finishes
to pick from. For customers
looking to restore or add
traditional character to homes,
low maintenance uPVC has the
option of further fine detailing,
from the inclusion of run through
sash horns on the VS and the
use of deep bottom rails, to the
delicate hardware options styled
straight from the 19th century,
with 21st century benefits.
Furthermore, Glazerite has
also recently reduced lead times
on many of the foils for the Halo
Flush Sash and Vertical Slider
to just five days, so installers can
meet the needs of even the most
demanding of customers.
