Direct is the first Network VEKA member
to have been awarded the BSI Kitemark
for the installation of windows and doors.
»»The Kitemark means
BSI has independently and
rigorously tested both the
products and the installation
service of Frames Conservatories
Direct and has confirmed that
both conform to the British

The application and approval
system is very thorough and
covers all aspects of the process
from initial design, ensuring the
window and doors supplied are
correct for their intended use,
through surveying, installation,
staff training, property care,

the assurance that the product
and the fitting process conform to
the appropriate British Standard
and will therefore be safe and
reliable.
Adrian Lewis, Managing

of the award: “Our customers
invest money in improving
their homes with replacement
windows, doors or new fascias,
soffits and guttering and the
BSI Kitemark gives them the
assurance that they are buying
a quality product which will be
fitted to a high standard.”
