400th Approved Installer
»»South Manchester’s
Everglade, a fabricator and installer of
Halo window and door systems from The
VEKA UK Group, has celebrated becoming
the 400th member of the leading profile
manufacturer’s renowned Approved Installer
Scheme.
Amy Grundy, National Sales Manager
for the Approved Installer Scheme explains:
“Installers gain numerous advantages by
becoming ‘Approved’. It’s no wonder the
scheme has seen such an unprecedented
uptake within its first year.
“The online Marketing Hub offers
Approved Installers a wide range of marketing
materials at a fraction of the normal cost.
These range from business cards to bespoke
retail brochures and vehicle graphics to
name just a few. Details like the company
name, contact details, logo and USPs are
automatically uploaded by the system to
populate prominent ‘fields’ in the template
designs.”
“We’re excited to have Everglade mark this
milestone in the Approved Installer Scheme’s
history. They’re an established and respected
fabricator and installer that easily met our
criteria for approval; CE-Marked windows,
MTCs, insurance-backed guarantees and
more.

more natural light to enter a
building while reducing both
solar gain and heat loss. This not

a more pleasant working or living
environment but also reduces
energy expenditure on heating
and air conditioning, in keeping
with the BREEAM principles for
sustainable building design.”

where toughened or heatstrengthened glass is required,
