Strong
demand for
triple-track
patio doors
» PATIOMASTER EAST
Midlands opened in June 2018 and has seen
strong sales for Triple-track patio doors
right from the start.
As Neil Dattani, Director of the East
Midlands branch, says,, Triple-track patio
doors from PatioMaster deliver the open-
house look that’s on-trend at the moment.
They have either two or four sliding sashes
that stack neatly behind each other. With
a maximum opening of up to six metres,
Triple-track patio doors offer up to 25%
more open space than a conventional patio
door and an improved glass to frame ratio
when compared to a similar sized door
because the panes can be up to 1,500mm
wide. And unlike bi-fold doors they don’t
encroach on space inside or outside of the
property too.
The PVC-U construction and the choice
of 28 colours and finishes, including grained
and flat textures, plus the choice of white,
gold, brass, chrome, black or silver handles
mean the doors sit comfortably in more UK
homes.
The practicalities are impressive too.
Thermal efficiency and security are
exceptional. The doors open and close
with a smooth single motion and there are
fewer moving parts so they offer superb
reliability.

installer, South Cheshire Glass, has
completed the first phase to transform a
substantial residential property in Nantwich,
Cheshire. Graham Saunders, General
Manager at South Cheshire Glass, said:
“With a palatial property like this one, we
needed to source a premium quality product.
The Spectus Windows Elite 70 suite gives
us exactly what we need for such a high-end
project.”
‘high-end project’
The first phase included 13 casement
windows with one arched frame, all in a
white finish with mock sash horns. The
South Cheshire Glass team is taking a
phased approach to the replacement project,
completing separate elevations at each visit
over a period of months. Work started
in November 2018 and is scheduled for
completion this Spring.
Elite 70 is one of Spectus’ flagship systems.
Fully integrated, it can achieve a Window
Energy rating of A+, U-values to 0.8W/
m2K and is Secured by Design accredited.
Graham commented: “The Spectus Elite
70 frames will transform the home’s visual
appeal. It will also make the property more
thermally efficient, quiet and secure.”

New HQ for Post-
Consumer Profile
» » VEKA RECYCLING LTD, THE UK’S
leading recycler of PVC-U post consumer
window profiles, has begun full production
at the company’s brand-new site in
Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.
From acquisition in February of the
5.5 acre site on the town’s Finedon Road
Industrial Estate and after undergoing
a substantial refurbishment, rebuilding
work and industrial fit out, the facility is
now converting full loads of virgin, post
consumer and industrial profiles into
high quality PVC-U compound. Further
investment and development during the
next 12 months will further extend the
capabilities and capacity of the plant, to
become Europe’s most advanced specialist
windows recycler.
The Wellingborough plant will be the
third to be built by VEKA Umwelttechnik
GmbH, the specialist recycling subsidiary
of the VEKA AG Group, of which VEKA
Recycling Ltd is a wholly owned division.
The company has pioneered PVC-U
recycling in Europe with its first plant
opening in Behringen, Germany as long ago
as 1993. A further facility was opened in
France in 2006. The combined capacity of
the three plants will exceed 100,000 tonnes
of PVC-U windows a year.
