FEATURE-RICH PRODUCTS FROM MODPLAN
» » LEADING VEKA FABRICATOR
Modplan manufactures a comprehensive
portfolio of products for its trade customers
which includes an impressive range of feature-
rich products too.
Having the right products in your portfolio
is fundamental to the Newport-based
fabricator as Heidi’s Sachs, Managing Director
of Modplan explains: “You only have to glance
at the market data to see that consumer trends
are shifting. Market intelligence reveals that
today’s consumers are looking for something
other than standard white PVC-U casements.
The result is that feature-rich products such
as mechanically jointed vertical sliders and
flush casement windows are booming and it’s
something we have witnessed here at Modplan
for some time.”
Modplan’s VEKA vertical slider is the
perfect example of a value-added product.
The feature-rich window is manufactured
from high quality VEKA systems and can
be either mechanically jointed or welded.
The window is compatible with existing
VEKA fitting brackets and therefore reduces
installers’ inventory. The VEKA Vertical
Slider features a range of traditional detailing
including a selection of Georgian bar
configurations, a deep bottom rail option
and authentic sash horns. The window is
available in a range of woodgrain and colour
otpions too.
Similarly, the VEKA HALO FlushSash
window is ideal for heritage projects looking
to replicate the appearance of 19th century
windows. The traditional aesthetics can be

each stage, right from the arrival
of the raw materials on site,
through the extrusion of pvc in the
production process to storage and
distribution of the finished product.
Louise Sanderson, Marketing
Manager explains: “This film gives
us the opportunity to demystify
the process and explain simply and
clearly how our products are made.
It’s fascinating to see how we take
simple raw materials in powder form
and create a product that will still be
protecting roofs and homes around
the country in 50 years’ time.”
Geoff Barnett, Technical
Operations Manager said: “We’re
proud of what we make and of
our site, and this video gives us
the opportunity to showcase
the facilities we operate and the
products we produce. Because of
the investment we’ve made we
have full control of the whole
process, managing and fine tuning
every stage to create materials that
are hard wearing, fit for purpose
and guaranteed to last.”

enhanced with heritage detail options such
as monkey tail handles and ornamental
peg stays. Our Flush Sash offering is fully
mechanically jointed ensuring the authentic
look of timber. It is available in a range of
woodgrains and coloured finishes in the
30 colour options of VEKA’s Variations
collection, so offers a solution for every
setting.
Both Modplan vertical sliders and
FlushSash windows are manufactured
in a dedicated facility at the company’s
manufacturing headquarters, which means
that turnaround times are kept to a minimum
and quality is consistently high.
Heidi concludes: “With these products
you get the reassurance of the quality and
innovation you’d expect from Modplan
along with the unparalleled advantage of our
manufacturing excellence and partnership
approach. It’s the reason our customers are
able to capitalise on the benefits that feature-
rich products have to offer.”
