What’ s forecast for fenestration in 2026 from the industry’ s who’ s who.

2026 marks 40 years since VEKA began manufacturing PVCu window and door systems in the UK. Today, we work with our fabricator partners across the country to supply installers with reliable, well-tested systems that support strong workmanship and long-term homeowner satisfaction. For four decades, our focus has been the same: backing installers with products and support that help you build your reputation and strengthen your business.

Installers tell us that what matters most is simple: the products you fit, how they perform over time, and whether your supplier delivers consistently. That’ s why VEKA’ s approach has always been shaped by practical innovation and support that reflects real on-site needs.

For example, installers asked for improved weather performance, and VEKA responded by developing systems with dual rebates, enhanced sealing and durable material characteristics- design decisions rooted in feedback from those fitting our systems every day. Installers also wanted options that help them compete with the look of aluminium without losing the efficiency of PVCu. This insight shaped developments such as Feinstruktur foils and the OMNIA suite, giving a modern, design-led finish with installer-friendly performance.

Installers’ trust in VEKA reflects this focus. As one partner puts it:“ We always promote VEKA windows as being energy efficient

and homeowners are always delighted with the finish. We have trust in the product we fit.”

Another adds:“ We see VEKA as the leader in windows and doors for both function and appearance.”

This trust matters more than ever. According to homeowner research, satisfaction with existing windows and doors has fallen from 23 % to 11 %, driven by issues such as weatherproofing, energy inefficiency and ageing products. This gives installers a major opportunity to demonstrate performance, value and long-term reliability. Tools such as VEKA Edge support this directly, providing installers with homeowner-ready content, care guidance and marketing assets that help build trust and win more jobs.

But VEKA’ s 40 years aren’ t defined by products alone. They’ re defined by partnership. Many installers have been fitting VEKA

for decades, shaping how we work- from simplifying ancillaries, to offering marketing support and insurance-backed guarantees through Independent Network, to maintaining strong UK-based manufacturing and reliable delivery performance.

As we mark our 40th year, our aim is simple: to continue backing installers with reliable systems and the tools that help you build trust with homeowners.
