The modern showroom
contains an extensive
collection of beautiful glass
installations using C.R. Laurence (CRL) glass hardware
and fixings. From shower
enclosures; support bars,
hinges and sliding doors,
glass railings using structural glass stand offs, and
frameless glass balustrades

hardware and glass canopy
systems.
The showroom also features the sleek Hydroslide
sliding shower door system,
available in 90 degree
wall-to-glass installations
and 180 degree wall-to-wall
installations.
Paul Hughes, Managing
Director, Alvaston Glass
commented:
“When we were thinking
about creating our new
showroom the obvious
choice to us was to use CRL
products, because of the
depth of its product range,
the quality, and availabili-
ty… We’ve tried to give our
customers examples of as
many of our installations as
possible whilst maintaining
a modern and ‘clean look’
showroom.
“Alvaston Glass has been
using CRL’s products for
quite some time, our relationship with them is great.
CRL’s customer service
team are always on hand
to answer any questions or
enquiries we have.”
Alvaston Glass is a family
owned business that prides
itself on providing good
old-fashioned personal
service using state-of-the-art

range of products but also
meet the Secured by Design
requirements for the future
homes project.
Glazerite discussed the
opportunity with The Window Company (Contracts)
who submitted the tender
to Evers and subsequently
won the contract, for all the
windows and French doors
in 24 new homes which
range from two bed bungalows and flats to four bed
detached houses in the village’s Northumbria Close.
Director Kevin Howell
complimented the TWCC
team: “The Window Company did a great job for us
on this project. They were
efficient and they provided
a good quality installation
that was completed without
any problems.”
PVCu systems innovator Deceuninck,
supported by hardware partner VBH,
recently hosted its customer golf day
at the prestigious Woburn Golf Club.
Billed as the Deceuninck Championship
Golf Experience,
around 90 of the industry’s keenest golfers
arrived for breakfast
and a spot of driving
and putting practice
before setting off to
the four corners of the
Duke’s course for a
shotgun start.
All For One
Anyone looking for proof
of how teamwork can benefit the whole supply chain
need look no further than
the Cambridgeshire village
of Haddenham, where trade
fabricator Glazerite Windows Ltd, VEKA PLC and
G14 “Installer of the year”
award winner The Window
Company (Contracts) Ltd,
completed a social housing
new build contract for The
Sanctuary Housing Group
with main contractor T J
Evers Ltd.
VEKA’s commercial team
work closely with Sanctuary
housing and they agreed
on the 80% recycled Infinity
bevelled system for this
project. VEKA submitted the
enquiry to their fabricator/
installation partners who
not only supply the Infinity

The Window Company
(Contracts) Ltd Director
Martin Thornton said:
“When this enquiry was
passed to us from the Glazerite/VEKA team, we were
not only happy to fulfil our
part of the contract but
also had the chance to give
Evers first-hand experience
of what we can do.”
Infinity from VEKA contains 80% recycled PVCu
with 20% virgin polymer on
all outer surfaces for aesthetics and colour stability.

On a warm July day, the
golfers found the beautiful
but narrow pine, chestnut
and silver birch lined fairways to be a real challenge.
The club had been used for
British Open qualifying just
a couple of weeks before;
proof of the testing nature
of this par 72 course.
After a three course
dinner, a raffle and auction
were held to raise much
needed funds for the GM
Fundraising charity, which
does excellent work in
supporting Hope House
Children’s Hospices.
Raffle prizes included an
array of golf clothing and
equipment donated by Deceuninck and a pair of Club
Wembley tickets to August’s
Community Shield football
match donated by VBH.
Woburn Golf Club themselves donated a golf package for rounds on all three
of its courses. This very
special prize was auctioned
off and raised almost £1000
for the charity.
All in all a great day was
had by all involved, and
our big hearted industry
proved again that relationships can be built and
cemented whilst having
a great time and helping
out some very worthwhile
causes.
