EAST OR WEST... BEST FOR
CONSERVATION-GRADE VS
Trade fabricator Glazerite is celebrating
another heritage application for its
traditional looking Vertical Slider – and has
proved the window is popular literally from
coast to coast.
Just a few months after the acclaimed white
woodgrain foiled VS was chosen for a vintage
styled house near the most easterly part
of Britain, on the Norfolk coast, the same
authentic appearance has now won a place in
a Conservation Area near the most westerly
tip of Wales. Consent for the installation,
near the historic cathedral city of St. Davids,

was granted by the Pembrokeshire Coast
National Park authority because the VEKAbased Glazerite windows were virtually
indistinguishable from the traditional timber
they were replacing, according to David
Morris, director of Gardinia (West Wales)
which carried out the installation.
Glazerite director Jason Thompson added:
“It is still very rare for anything in PVC-U
to be accepted in a conservation area or
anywhere else in a heritage setting so we are
very proud that our vertical slider is one of the
forerunners in this movement. Of course, it

makes perfect sense for such properties to have
all the benefits of a high specification PVC-U
window as long as it looks authentic.”
