TWENTY YEARS OF PARTNERSHIP
The result is a more comfortable living environment that costs less to heat or cool because it is insulated from the ambient temperatures outside, making it warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
The system also has a 5-35o pitch variable ring beam assembly that increases the types of roofs that can be replaced while adjustable angles on the hip, valley and ridge add up to easier fitting, and ensure that tiles and ridges sit correctly for finishing. All rafters sit flush with the hip and rafter too, providing greater strength. Thermal breaks avoid moisture build
up, and air gaps within the roof allow any moisture to dissipate quickly – so there is no danger of internal condensation, unlike some tiled roof systems.
Equinox kits offer a‘ one box solution’ – with SlateSkin sheets pre-cut to size and numbered for easy identification and installation. Plus, all the sealants and fixings required to install the roof to the highest standard are also in the box.

TENANTS REAP BENEFITS AFTER INSTALLATION
The tenants of Barton Village, Eccles, have benefited from thousands of VEKA windows and will see a drop in their energy bills after the environmentally friendly £ 14.3m makeover.
The four 1960’ s tower blocks, which took a total of 12 months to refurbish, consist of 290 energy efficient homes – with many of the one and two-bedroom flats now having innovative green technologies, stateof-the-art ventilation and improved security.
VEKA’ s Matrix 70 Casement Windows are the number one choice in the industry, with multi-chamber frame design allowing for face or base drainage on either side of central chamber, internal and external beading and tilt and turn options.
Other works on the flats included structural repairs, internal remodelling, ventilation systems, infrastructure works boosted cold water and soil stack replacement, electrical rewires, kitchen and bathroom replacement, lift refurbishment and communal decoration.
Barton Village resident Michael Barton said:“ We were consulted throughout and the work has really brought the neighbourhood together- community spirit has returned.”
