PVC-U is perfect for prestigious property’s
46 sash windows
Long-standing VEKA Group customer
SWC Trade Frames was proud to act as
a ‘one-stop-specification-shop’ for a
stately six-bedroom new build in the
Yorkshire Dales.
The Scarborough-based company
fabricates high quality Halo products
from VEKA Group and was able to
supply the 46 Vertical Sliders and 3
sets of French Doors needed for the
prestigious job.
SWC Sales Director Mark Catchpole
explains: “We were delighted to
provide everything necessary for our
client Selby Glass to complete this
Yorkshire manor house to a beautiful
standard.
“We’ve worked with Selby Glass for
years, and the team there know they
can rely on the quality of our products
without question. We use VEKA
Group profile, so we can vouch for the
standard of our systems right from
raw materials to finished frames, and
we can offer enviably swift lead times.
These products combine stunning
good looks with perfect performance;
they look much like traditional timber
but offer the additional modern
energy-efficiency benefits and low
maintenance of PVC-U.
“SWC also has an in-house spraying
facility, so alongside VEKA Group’s
great Variations lamination offering,
we can provide any other colour
the customer requires and ensure a
perfect colour match and cohesive
overall finish across all our ranges.
“We pride ourselves on going ‘above
and beyond’ for our customers. For
example, the Halo Vertical Sliders
for this job were supplied to an A+11
rating, effectively ‘future proofing’
this project by going beyond the
standard specification requirements,
and the windows and doors were
supplied to Approved Document Q
standards for security.”
Arthur Fenn, Director of Selby Glass,
commented: “This 7400 sq ft stone-
Madeline Settle Photography
built manor house was a pleasure
to work on. It had been designed
and built to an exceptionally high
standard by one of our long-standing
developer clients, Neil Battye, who
knows that quality is key.
“Neil works with Selby Glass on a
regular basis, and has done for the last
20 years or so, because he knows we
constantly strive to exceed his already
high expectations. Neil approached us
to do the job with the design in mind,
and trusted us to find and fit the
highest quality products to meet his
specification.
“We tend to use a number of
suppliers, but we knew in this case
that SWC would be best able to meet
every single one of the specialist
requirements. We also trusted the
SWC team to operate with speed
and professionalism, so that we
could – in turn – offer our client a
swift turnaround, and we weren’t
disappointed.
“The job involved 46 Halo Vertical
Sliders sprayed Pebble Grey (inside
and out) and 3 sets of coordinating
French Doors from VEKA Group.
“The project looked great and the
quality of products we installed
from SWC means that they will
offer phenomenal performance for
years to come. The beauty of PVC-U
51
windows and doors in this day and
age, means that we can offer the
traditional, classic style of timber sash
windows, but they will never need
sanding or repainting and they offer
ease of operation, along with energy
efficiency, acoustic insulation, and
security.
“The Vertical Sliders and French
Doors from VEKA Group were simple
and easy to fit. The most difficult
thing about the job was not getting
distracted by the view!”
VEKA Group Sales Director Neil
Evans added: “This sprawling rural
manor house is a great example of
how modern materials and classic
aesthetics can be combined to create a
‘timeless’ finish. Selby Glass and SWC
trade frames have put VEKA Group
systems to great use for their client,
showcasing the versatility of these
systems for all types of properties.
“VEKA Group is proud to work
with fabricators and specifiers
on everything from sleek city
skyscrapers, to historic heritage
properties and everything in
between. As we often highlight, our
products are designed to meet all the
specifications you would expect from
such an industry-leading supplier, ‘for
now, for the future, for life.’”
