» » SEVEN OUT OF TEN
homeowners recognise the
Swish brand name, which is
why installers will be pleased
to hear that recent changes to
the system’s back edge detail
mean it is now compatible with
more products than ever before.
“Developments on the Swish
back edge detail mean the Swish
system is now compatible with
vertical sliders, patio doors, fully
reversible windows and flush
casement windows from the
Epwin stable”

a 40-year heritage and is a firm
favourite with UK homeowners.

is perfectly reflected in the
introduction of the new back
edge detail. The system is easy to
fabricate and simple to fit.

no minimum order, so they’re
an option for every project.

support, including the Excellence

add value to fabricators’ and
installers’ businesses.

installation standards and the

» » SPECTUS HAS JUST
launched a fully mechanically
jointed option of its market
leading vertical slider. Carmen
Velilla, Brand Manager at
Spectus, said: “The tried and
tested authentic period looks of
the Spectus Vertical Slider means
it is renowned as the window that
changes planning officers’ minds
about PVC-U. The mechanically
jointed version takes authenticity
to another level because the
45-degree PVC-U welds on
the frame and sash are replaced
with 90-degree mechanical
joints, creating a wealth of new
opportunities to work on heritage
and conservation properties.”
The fully mechanically jointed
version of the Spectus Vertical
Slider has all the features that
have proved so enduringly
popular on the standard version.
The mechanical joints are
complemented with two sash
widths that give equal vertical
sightlines, plus run through horns
and a deep bottom rail The choice
of 28 colours from Spectus’
Spectrum range, including five
from stock, increases the design
versatility even further.
Despite the authentic looks,
the window has everything
homeowners would expect from a
modern window and more.
In short, the fully mechanically
jointed option on the Spectus
Vertical Slider means the best just
got even better.

‘The Humber Door’
» » AS HULL NEARS THE END OF AN
extraordinary year as ‘UK City of Culture 2017’,
Hurst Plastics has unveiled a unique composite
entrance door that pays tribute to one of the
most prominent landmarks of the company’s
home city.
Manufactured at Hurst Plastics’ dedicated
factory in Hull, the door features a spectacular
image of the Humber Bridge from local
photographer Wendy Rowe, who lives in Hessle.
The iconic 2220-metre long suspension bridge,
which was given Grade I listed building status
in July, was chosen by Hurst as a fitting subject
for the door because it captures the heart of

Hull as a thriving city port and vibrant cultural
destination.
The door was presented to Hull-based installer
Yorkshire Windows and Doors, which has been
a customer of Hurst Plastics for 20 years. The
company will display the door in its showroom
in Sutton Fields before handing it over to local
charity Dove House Hospice. The hospice will
auction the door at its annual Winter Ball, which
takes place in November at The Country Park
Inn in Hessle. The fundraising gala event hopes
to raise £12,000 for the hospice.
