For a brand that is world renowned for both its heritage and its commitment to innovation, the timing of the launch is particularly apt; it coincides with the global VEKA Group’s 50th anniversary, and a cutting edge new www.veka.co.uk website. Marketing Director Dawn Stockell explains: “Here at VEKA UK, we know our products are perfect for every project, because they are tested to all expected quality and safety accreditations - but more importantly - they must meet our own exceptionally high standards. “Furthermore, as a customer- centric company, having the ‘perfect product’ is just one part of the service; the second part is presenting all that product information within the ideal package, and that’s exactly what we’ve done with both our new specification guide and the new VEKA website. These resources have made it even easier to specify our industry-leading PVCu systems. “The guide’s combination of line drawings, photographs of products in situ, test reports and results, alongside foil options, specification and sizing - with real life case studies - mean the reader has the information and the inspiration needed to perfect every project. “The guide is over 100 pages and contains everything you need to know about all systems and products within the VEKA, Halo and Imagine brand ranges. From in-depth technical data, technical drawings, and performance results, to information about our technical support services. “And, for those that prefer a ‘pick and mix’ approach, individual pages can be downloaded by product through the new veka.co.uk site, so Window type Max sash sizes (wxh) Air permeability Side hung reinforced 620mm x 1270mm Class 4 54 Water tightness Class 9A Resistance to wind Exposure category A4 1600 55 customers can effectively put together a bespoke reference guide for their most-used systems. “VEKA UK systems offer immense yet intelligent choice. In developing the Variations colour range, we not only focused on getting the colour and texture of every foil just right, we also looked at how we could deliver these choices with swift lead times that work for your project. It may be a small detail - but one that means we carry the largest UK stock holding covering 4000 SKUs.” www.vekauk.com “The Best Vertical Slider Out There” » POLYFRAME HAS upgraded its extensive portfolio of PVCu products with the introduction of the new Imagine Vertical Sliding Sash from VEKA. The move will bring new sales opportunities for Polyframe customers who want to make the most of the rising demand for vertical sliding sash windows. Richard Lee, PVCu category director at Polyframe, explains: “Vertical Sliders now account for around 10% of the market, with share increasing year on year. We’re very pleased to add the VEKA Imagine VS to our range – it’s the best vertical slider out there as it captures all of the key design features of a traditional timber window, combined with the practicality and performance of a modern PVCu window.” The Imagine Vertical Slider is available in a range of eight popular express colours on a 10 day lead-time and a number of bespoke foil options. There is also a choice of four standard furniture colours from Fab & 30 » JAN 2020 » CL EARVI E W- UK . C O M Fix. The range is available across the UK. Strong and secure, the VEKA VS delivers fantastic energy efficiency with A-rating as standard. It is weather tested to BS6375 Part 1 & 2, whilst also achieving the slim sightlines that modern homeowners desire. Polyframe is also able to offer an upgrade to PAS24 enhanced security, giving the homeowner complete peace of mind. Designed to be as fitter- friendly as possible, Polyframe installers have been impressed with a number of innovative features. For example, its flush fitting outerframe sits neatly against the existing plaster line to eliminate the need for notching or trimming the plaster – thus saving time and money. Imagine’s hallmark characteristic is its outer balance chamber, which is co-extruded in black on all colour combinations. This makes a striking design feature and also means there’s no need for painting which improves the look of the product and gives a durable and consistent finish. The VEKA Vertical Slider is available with the option of a mechanically jointed deep bottom rail. There are optional plant-on and run-through sash horns for a traditional look, or the window can be specified without horns for a more contemporary style. Polyframe is part of Customade Group, which operates nationwide and employs 1100 people in multiple manufacturing sites across the UK. www.polyframetrade.co.uk
