PROUD SPONSOR OF DOORS & WINDOWS DOORS&WINDOWS ‘Radical’ lifestyle promo reflects stylish customers’ choices » IN THE FIRST SALVO OF A comprehensive promotional campaign designed to appeal to style-conscious homeowners, composite door and window maker Apeer has produced a radical new video supporting its heralded new Silka door range. In total, five videos will be accompanied by a range of print and digital brochures and other supporting material, in addition to SEO work to drive traffic to the consumer-focused website. A 25% increase in leads generated for Apeer retail installers is the key benchmark for the campaign. Asa McGillian, Apeer’s managing director explained: “As homeowners increasingly change their windows and doors as a lifestyle choice together with home décor refurbishments, rather than the stress purchase that used to drive sales, so we must reach out and appeal to people on a similar level. The clean, technical surface finishes of the Silka door and its componentry are beautifully captured in the video, which we believe will appeal to those looking for a similar styling vibe throughout their homes.” View the Apeer Silka video here: https:// youtu.be/84Qh3RLZyFM www.apeer.co.uk 30 years of success » FOUNDED IN 1989, THE fabricator-installer Nolan uPVC with its head office in Carmarthen, has grown to become one of Wales’ most trusted window suppliers. Nolan recently switched to Deceuninck to ensure further growth over the next three decades. According to Managing Director Nolan Nicholas, commented: “There have been lots of changes over the past 30 years but our ethos has stayed the same – to put customers at the heart of our business through continued investment in staff, products and service.” The company celebrated its anniversary with a staff party and charity golf day earlier in the year, raising £6,000 for The Nolan Charity Fund to support local causes. The anniversary was also marked with an integrated retail campaign spanning TV, cinema, print and outdoor advertising and social media. The campaign, which positioned windows as a focal point in homeowners’ lives, generated an 11% increase in overall leads and a 45% increase in web traffic. In October Nolan was also named a finalist in the G19 ‘Installer of the Year’ category. www.nolanupvc.co.uk www.deceuninck.co.uk APARTMENTS GET NEW VIEW FOR THE NEW YEAR » PROFILE 22’S OPTIMA WINDOWS were specified in the development of 26 one- and two-bedroom apartments for Lewis House - a development from McCarthy & Stone, the UK’s leading retirement housebuilder - which included 97 windows and 26 door and sightlight combinations. The project was undertaken by Profile 22 Approved Window Installer Newview Homes Ltd.

C O M The window specification required a U value of 1.4 wm2/k on all windows and Secured by Design accreditation on ground floor and easily accessible first floor windows. Acoustic glazing was also required because Lewis House is situated on a busy road, so traffic noise needed to be minimised. Visually, the local authority had requested a grey exterior to give a modern appearance and provide a close match to aluminium; Newview opted for Profile 22’s Optima 70mm casement windows in smooth slate grey on white with 28mm Low E sealed glass units. www.profile22.co.uk
