Working with Nottingham-based com- pany N G Roofline Windows & Doors Ltd Freefoam filmed a refurbishment instal- lation to illustrate how roofline products, fascia, soffit and gutter, can be fitted as part of a wider project including replacement windows and doors. Owner Ashley Marvin started his business in 2012, offering fascia, soffit and guttering in and around the Nottinghamshire area. Working to a very high standard, with first class customer reviews, Ashley soon found that promoting and fitting roofline led to customers requesting other long lasting, low maintenance PVC home improvements. The company now fit doors, windows, flat roofs and dry verge with several fitting teams who specialise in different areas of work. Ashley explained: “The business has gradually grown over the last seven years. I started off with roofline but wanted to ex- pand what we offered. Doors and windows were a natural progression from fascia and soffit, and work perfectly together for us. Homeowners want long lasting, low main- tenance products on their home, and we can offer the full package.” N G Roofline Windows & Doors are a Freefoam Registered Installer. Freefoam know that roofline products are fitted by a range of companies including window and conservatory installers, roofers and general builders. Freefoam are committed to sup- porting all home improvement businesses so the scheme is open to any company who are fitting roofline on a regular basis. www.freefoam.com URBAN DOOR STYLING WITH THE ABODA COLLECTION The ABODA Collection from Rocal Group is a revolutionary range of premium door panels, that have been carefully de- veloped with true urban design credentials and by harnessing the latest materials. This is a new evolutionary product development from Rocal Group which fea- tures high performance PVCu door skins for outstanding long-term performance, whatever the climatic conditions. There are 16 designs in the range with nine different finishes for the standard ABODA series, along with a further 20 finishes available in the striking STEE-AL collection. The STEE-AL collection within ABODA introduces a flush 316 grade stainless steel glazing system, while the standard range harnesses a new slimline variant. There are also a number of glass options from the Baroque, Metro, Ornate and Principal ranges, which can be seen in the dedicated 20-page brochure and online at aboda- doors.co.uk. Stephen Nadin, Managing Director of Ro- cal Group commented: “We have spent some time in developing ABODA as we firmly believe that there is a market for premium, well-designed and high specification door panels. We’ve introduced new foiled finishes, a flush steel glazing system and modern design thinking to create something that we believe is the ultimate urban range in the sector. The entrance door market for panel doors still provides a sizeable opportunity for companies who are keen to retain their door manufacturing facilities and with the latest CoolSkin door skins, reinvigorate the door panel sales with a product with proven long-term performance.” www.abodadoors.co.uk NEVER A CHORE - SPECTUS ON SPEC FOR RETIREMENT VILLAGE Over 300 Spectus Elite 70 System windows were used in the construction of a new build retirement village in Chorley town centre. Chorley Council commissioned a 65-apartment retirement village to provide those aged 55 and above with an independent livingwe space with access to care and sup- port. The development, Primrose Gardens, is in the centre of Chorley and is part of the Council’s strategic masterplan for the town centre. The development partner for the build was Eric Wright Con- struction. The window contract on the build was awarded to Spectus Approved Window contractor JADE Window and Door Special- ists, a family run company based in Batley with over 25 years’ expe- rience in the industry. The 65 apartments had over 300 windows in total manufactured in anthracite grey on the external face and white internally. Thermal efficiency was a particular focus to keep running costs on the apartments to a minimum. The Elite 70 System from Spec- tus was able to meet this require- ment. It is a five-chamber system, which increases thermal perfor- mance, meaning it is capable of achieving a Window Energy Rat- ing of A+ and U-Values to 0.8W/ m2K. The system is Secured by Design accredited where a high level of security is a requirement. Primrose Gardens’ town centre location meant careful program- ming and logistics planning was required to ensure minimum dis- ruption and safe access. The con- struction was also on a reduced timeframe to enable Chorley Council to start delivering services as quickly as possible. www.spectus.co.uk
