Approaching five years of partnership with VEKA, FAIRCO( a trusted name in premium windows and doors across Ireland), has built its reputation on providing high-quality, innovative products to both the trade and retail sectors.

The introduction of OMNIA marks the next step in this commitment, offering a cutting-edge solution that blends performance, durability, and design.

OMNIA, unveiled by VEKA in 2024, is the first PVCu system of its kind delivering a sleek, symmetrical finish that sits flush inside and out. Combining the perfect balance of timeless elegance and 21st century performance, the OMNIA range is revered for creating a contemporary, streamlined look whilst achieving superior energy efficiency, thermal and acoustic performance. The system has already won New Product of the Year at the National Fenestration Awards, and it is quickly becoming the flush system of choice in both the UK and Ireland.

Jim Toal, owner of FAIRCO, said:“ We’ ve always set the standard for premium windows and doors in Ireland. Our partnership with VEKA has been built on trust, quality, and a shared vision for innovation.

“ OMNIA is an exciting addition- its unique design offers the best of both worlds: the clean, modern lines sought after in new builds and the authentic, heritage styling needed for conservation projects.

“ We see this system transforming streetscapes across Ireland, from sleek urban developments to classic period homes. We’ re excited to bring OMNIA to our customers and lead the way in the next generation of window design.”

The Ultion 3-Star PLUS with ALPS has started to ship. Designed to be the most secure door lock available, it is also the first and only lock to defend against every known attack method. After months of anticipation, this groundbreaking security solution is now in the hands of installers across the country.

Ultion 3-Star PLUS with ALPS is built to offer the highest level of security. Unlike many locks that claim to be secure but fail when tested, Ultion 3-Star PLUS has set a new benchmark. It is the first lock to pass the rigorous

Sold Secure Diamond 2024 security test, proving its ability to withstand even the most sophisticated break-in attempts. It is also the only lock currently tested to the rigorous BS048 security standard.

Paul Culshaw, Managing Director at Heritage Trade Frames, said:

“ This lock isn’ t just ahead of the game, it’ s the gold standard. It’ s built to protect against everything burglars can throw at it, and then some.”

Jeff Dunn, Sales and Commercial Director at Glazerite, added:

“ We’ re always looking for ways to help our installers succeed. The Ultion ALPS gives our installers something unique to offer their customers: the highest level of security, backed by real-world testing.”

Why Installers Are Making the Switch

Ultion 3-Star PLUS with ALPS is easy to install, built to last, and engineered for real security. With ALPS, protection starts the moment the key leaves the lock, keeping homes secure around the clock.
