SPACE AND
STYLE KEY
TO SUCCESS
A recent conservatory installation for frameXpress once
again specified the highest
performance products from
the company’s range whilst
maximizing space and light.
The project in central London,
worth approximately £10,000
is one of the latest state-ofthe-art installations to be commissioned, in what appears to
be a growing consumer trend
when adding value and living
space.
Incorporating thermally
efficient conservatory roof
glass as well as modern bi-fold
doors in black PVCu, ensured
the completed project comprises only the best in terms of
innovation and style.
Ian Davis, Sales Manager
at frameXpress believes that
the market has taken a bold
shift towards aesthetics and
performance as the consumer
realizes the benefits offered by
high performance conservatory roof glass.
He said: “The innovations
in roof glass that have been
achieved over the last few
years have for some time been
impressing homeowners. Ad-
ditional space equally gives so
many more benefits bringing
added value both physically
and fiscally. The look of the
finished installation is not only
striking but is providing substantial financial benefits to
the end user. They are quickly
grasping that year round use
and reduced energy bills are
real benefits that are easy to
achieve.”
Insulation and noise reduction also appear to be
important criteria for those
looking to invest. frameXpress
customers are increasingly
discussing solar glare, noise
reduction and year round use
when making specifications.
Ian comments: “The look of a
finished project now is entirely
different to 10 years ago and
many customers are winning business referrals from
homeowners because of this.
Using thermally efficient glass
roofing systems such as those
from Ultraframe, Global and
Quantal, places frameXpress
in a very strong position.”

Everyone’s a winner!
Builders’ merchant, Jewson,
has announced the winners
of its Building Better Communities competition, awarding
14 community projects across
the UK a share of £100,000.
The 14 winners were invited to
a Building Better Communities celebration event at the Greenworks
Training Academy, Birmingham. At
the event, property expert and TV
presenter, Sarah Beeny, presented
the prizes to the diverse list of
projects, ranging from sport club
pavilions and community theatres,
to outdoor classrooms and food
banks.
Sarah commented: “It’s so important for members of a community to have places where they
can gather and feel proud of. I’m
honoured to support the Building
Better Communities campaign
from Jewson, which is focused on
transforming small corners of people’s communities through local,
sustainable building projects.”
David Fenton, Marketing Director
at Jewson, said: “A huge congratulations goes out to all the Building
Better Communities competition
finalists. It’s a fantastic achievement for the winners and we can’t
wait to see the positive effect the
prize money will have as we move
into the build phase. We’d also
like to thank everyone who got
involved in the project, either by
nominating, voting or spreading
the word.”
Launched in February, the Building Better Communities initiative
is designed to boost community
spirit up and down the country
by asking projects to nominate
themselves for the chance to win a
share of £100,000.
The nominations were all judged
against the same set of criteria; the
legacy of the project, the sustainable products which were identified
or could be used to improve the
overall comfort of the building,
the impact of the project and the
strength of the applications.
