3 PRO INSTALLER JANUARY 2016 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 THE PERFECT REMEDY AT HISTORIC WELSH SITE More than 700 high quality windows and doors were supplied and installed by Global UPVC at a prestigious development on the historic Caerphilly Miners’ Hospital site. The Beeches Village – an award winning scheme – was delivered by an innovative partnership of housing association United Welsh, Caerphilly County Borough Council, housing developer Lovell, the Welsh Health Service and the Caerphilly Miners Community Group. Completed in January 2015, it has created 82 homes for sale and for rent on the site. ‘We only use Legend and have done for over ten years’ All homes have Legend casement windows and French doors from long-standing local Synseal fabricator Global UPVC, whose Managing Director Jon Dowse credits much of the company’s ongoing success in the commercial market to the Legend system: “We only use Legend and have done for over ten years,” says Jon. “So many of our clients keep coming back and inviting us to bid for more work that we can hardly keep up with the tenders. To me, that is the best possible commendation I could hope for from any system.” Legend is one of three 70mm PVCu window systems created by Synseal, along with the chamfered Shield and sculptured SynerJy with its innovative j-form curves. Brian Walker, Synseal’s fabrication and development manager, comments: “I visited this site on a number of occasions during the build process and there has been a consistent high quality of frame manufacture and installation in all the homes throughout this landmark new housing project.” The Miners’ Hospital closed in 2011 with services transferred to the new Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr hospital in Ystrad Mynach. The redevelopment of the site has been shaped in close consultation with the local community. www.synseal.com Is your supplier letting you down ? from only £365 per leaf Lowest price anywhere GET A PRICE COMPARISON pro installer half pg inner - bifolds.indd 1 Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors Tel: 01642 610798 Fax: 01642 671026 www.madefortrade.co 05/01/2016 12:09
