4. AS SEEN ON TV
The popularity of Senior’s windows, doors
and curtain walling systems has seen them
used on a variety of different buildings
across a variety of different sectors,
meaning you never have to look too far
to see the company’s products in action.
Every now and again, you can also spot
Senior’s products on TV, particularly on
property renovation programmes such as
‘Grand Designs’. Members from Senior’s
architectural advisory team have also been
busy over the last few months providing
products and support for a forthcoming
‘DIY SOS: Big Build’ special that will be
aired over the summer.
5. PURE® GENIUS
If you’ve been looking for low
U-value aluminium windows
and doors, you have probably
come across Senior’s PURe®
range but did you know that it
is the first on the UK market
to benefit from an enhanced
thermal barrier manufactured
from expanded polyurethane
foam (PUR) which is
traditionally used in cladding
and insulation products?
Senior was awarded a UK
patent for its PURe® system
in 2016 and is looking to add
new products to range in the
next few months – watch this
space…
6. GOING GREEN
As well as developing energy-efficient glazing solutions,
Senior is committed to reducing its own carbon footprint
and a trip to Senior’s HQ will show you just a few of the
initiatives in place. Recent investments include an in-house
PUR processing line, a more efficient grey water system
to recycle water used in manufacture and a new £150k
waste reducing powder coating line which is the most
environmentally efficient of its kind, saving over 22 tonnes
per year of product being sent to landfill.
7. COMMUNITY SPIRIT
When Senior is not developing new product innovations
and sustainable manufacturing techniques to help protect
the environment, it is looking at ways to improve its local
community. From sponsoring local sports clubs and events
to meeting up with MPs and Government advisors to
discuss the importance of the manufacturing industry to
the local economy, Senior takes its responsibilities as a
major employee in the South Yorkshire area very seriously.
The company is also proactively involved with a number
of local schools, helping to address the skills shortage
by offering work experience placements and raising the
profile of the fenestration and construction industry
through various events. One such event saw Senior team
up with a local high school to run a special art competition
where pupils created designs for ‘Buildings of the Future’,
resulting in the creation of some inspirational artwork that
is now proudly on display at Senior’s HQ.
