ATLAS HELPS CUSTOMERS
SPEED UP INSTALLATIONS
An Atlas installer has
proved that you don’t
always need to go be-
spoke when it comes to
roof lanterns – you can
achieve spectacular, and
fast results, by using stock
sized lanterns too. Chip-
penham-based installer
Vision Conservatories has
just completed a triple Atlas
lantern installation in record
time by opting for standard
sized lanterns. Incredibly,
the lanterns were available
from stock in just five days
and installed in the space of
a day.
The owners of the prop-
erty visited Vision Con-
servatories’ showroom and
were immediately impressed
with the slim sightlines of
the Atlas lantern on dis-
play. Having found that no
other lantern now lived up
to their expectation, they
asked Vision to design a
spacious new extension that
would incorporate the Atlas
lanterns that they’d fallen
for.
Vision persuaded the
homeowner to choose a
super-slim contemporary
lantern for the centre of the
extension and two regular
Atlas lanterns to sit either
side of it.
The bespoke look of the
extension has captured the
attention of homeowners
in the neighbourhood and
many were intrigued to see
the finished result.

it is to launch a new and
improved service for home-
owners that will see FENSA
certificates dispatched
faster.
FENSA, the UK’s largest
and longest established
Competent Person Scheme,
issues FENSA Building
Regulations certificates for
replacement windows and
doors that have been in-
stalled since 1st April 2002.
A FENSA certificate veri-
fies that an installation has
been carried out by a FEN-
SA registered installer, and
consequently that it com-
plies with building regula-
tions. As well as providing
the homeowner with peace
of mind about their installa-
tion, the certificate will be a
necessity if they wish to sell
their property.
Now homeowners and
installers are set to benefit
from an accelerated certifica-
tion system. Acting on feed-
back from FENSA members
as well as their customers,
FENSA will soon introduce a
new process that streamlines
certificate dispatch times and
gets them in homeowners’
hands faster.
As a result, FENSA ex-
pects to see a reduction in
the number of homeowners
asking installers for their
certificate, saving its mem-
bers time on administration.
Homeowners will also re-
ceive their FENSA certifi-
cates more than 50% faster
than they currently do.

APEER GEARS UP FOR GROWTH
As part of ongoing plans for
growth and expansion in 2018,
leading composite door manufac-
turer Apeer has heavily invested
in its Ballymena factory with the
addition of three new machines.
“This investment in machinery
forms just part of a wider pro-
gramme of improvements being
made to our factory, production
processes and general infra-
structure,” explains Managing
Director Asa McGillian. “There
is a definite focus on improving
our production capacity this year
and with the purchase of three
new machines we are some way
towards achieving our target.
We had the SCM Accord 25 with
5-axis installed in January and the
addition of this CNC machine has
already helped increase our door
production.”
Also aiding this increase is the
addition of a new spray booth and
infrared curing oven. After experi-
encing a notable surge in demand
for coloured doors, especially two
tone doors, the company has in-
vested in a third spray booth to en-
sure that they continue to manufac-
ture within lead times and without
any compromise on quality.
