ENDURAWOOD ON THE
VERGE OF UK LAUNCH
Euramax Solutions to launch range of natural-looking aluminium components.
Euramax Solutions, one of the UK’s
leading manufacturers of PVCu windows
and doors, has announced the launch of
its new unique range of exterior cladding
and outdoor living products for the con-
struction market. Endurawood components
are made of solid aluminium yet have the
beautiful appearance of natural timber.
Barnsley-based Euramax Solutions has
been manufacturing PVCu windows and
doors for over 65 years and supplies to
the modular, new build, holiday home,
DIY and retail sectors across the UK. It is
now able to offer its commercial clients a
choice of aluminium products from deck-
ing, wall cladding, gates, pergolas, balus-
trades, handrails and more, all with the
unique Endurawood appearance.
Euramax managing director, Nick Cowley:
“We are constantly looking for new ways
to widen and improve on the products
and service we offer to our customers.
Endurawood not only gives our customers
a high-quality durable product but also
a wider design potential. We’re looking
forward to working with our customers on
their Endurawood projects and seeing the
wide variety of ways it will be put to use.”
With a comprehensive range of finish-
es available, the Endurawood range has
all the style of wood with all the benefits
of aluminium. Environmentally friendly,
aluminium is a recyclable material and
re-smelting only uses five per cent of the
energy originally needed to produce the
product. It’s benefits as a cladding material
are huge, thanks to its Class A1 fire rated
status and lightweight properties.
As well as being resistant to corrosion,
Endurawood is also stain and scratch
resistant to give it longevity that is vital in
the construction industry. Unlike natural
wood and steel grades, Endurawood is
freeze and frost resistant as well as being
non-slip, which makes it ideal for decked
areas.
Already extensively used throughout the
US, Asia, Australasia and Europe, Endur-
awood has a well-established supply chain
and can offer full technical back-up and
support to its customers. The range will
also present a particular opportunity to the
modular and offsite construction indus-
tries, as companies in each sector look to
expand their existing portfolios.

‘The Finest VS In The Industry’:
Quickslide’s Legacy Is The
Result Of ‘An Exceptional’
Partnership With Spectus
Quickslide, the company that popularised high
quality PVC-U replacement vertical sliding box sash
windows in the UK home improvement sector, is now
offering the Legacy VS window to further extend
the company’s penetration of the Heritage sector.
Additionally, Quick-
slide’s highly evolved
commitment to customer
service will also provide an
additional edge in the mar-
ket. “We have taken a great
deal of time and care to add
a VS that further extends
the quality and performance
offered by our established
Renaissance VS, strengthen-
ing the position of Quick-
slide as a UK market leader
for replacement vertical
sliding box sash windows,”
says Adrian. “Every element
of frame fabrication and
finishing is carried out in-
house at Quickslide by a
team of people that under-
stand what they are doing
and the importance of that
to our customers. But we
need a superb product to
which we can add that
Quickslide ‘difference’. We
are delighted to be working
with Spectus and a team
of people that share our
passion and commitment to
what we do.”
Legacy is offered as a
‘true heritage’ window and
one that builds upon the
established credentials that
the Spectus VS has long
enjoyed with a reputation
for being the benchmark
for PVC-U vertical sliding
windows. Quickslide has
paid great attention to the
exceptional detailing of
authentic period aesthetics,
which are the most impor-
tant criteria for buyers of
this style of window. Key
aesthetic features include
the authentic ovolo shape
to the frame, bead, sash and
cill with a wide range of de-
tail customisations including
Georgian bars, run through
sash horns, external weath-
er bars and a deep bottom
rail together with flush gas-
kets that emulate traditional
glazing, all of which have
been researched to ensure
authenticity.
The period features,
including Quickslide’s
choice of standard weld,
seamless Graf weld and
fully mechanical timber
look butt joints, belie
up-to-the-minute glazing
performance that provides
Window Energy Ratings of
Band A when glazed with
24mm IGUs, whilst the
latest colour-matched wool
pile seals ensure that every
single window is perfectly
finished. The system also
adds a further four stand-
ard woodgrains to Quick-
slide’s extensive offer, in-
cluding Agate Grey, English
Oak, Nut Tree and Smooth
Grey. The company’s in-
house colour-bonding and
bending facilities will fur-
ther extend the possibilities
offered by Legacy.
