Another Commercial Success for Adeva and Glazerite
Kent-based Adeva Home Improvements has built on its recent success in large scale commercial window installation with a triple glazing retrofit for a sheltered housing scheme in Whitstable.
Once again, the group praised The Glazerite UK Group Ltd and VEKA for their support in specifying and completing the contract, for 279 casement windows in the VEKA 70mm fully sculptured system finished in white, at the 12-storey Windsor House.
As with the previous installation, VEKA supplied the wind load calculations essential for installations at such height, with other technical support by Glazerite, without which Director Geoff Dwyer said the company would not have had the confidence to tender for the work.
Elderly residents at Windsor House were finding the first generation double glazed PVC-U had become draughty as well as making the flats costly to heat in cold weather. Adeva replaced them with far more energy-efficient A + Rated, triple-glazed VEKA 70FS units, for main contractor Hamilton Building Contractors.
