PICTURESQUE PROPERTY IN
WARRINGTON IS FLUSH WITH
FABRICATION EXCELLENCE
Spectus flush case-
ment windows have
recently been installed
in a picturesque cottage
in Cheshire. When the
time came to replace the
cottage’s ageing timber
windows, the owners
were keen to preserve the
heritage beauty of their
home but also wanted the
thermally efficient, low
maintenance benefits of
modern PVC-U windows.
The 15 windows were
manufactured by long-
standing Spectus fabricator,
Universal Trade Frames and
installed by Manchester’s
Irlam Glass. The custom-
er specified mechanically
jointed windows with the
popular contemporary
colour Agate Grey on the
exterior and white on
the interior. Monkey tail
handles and astragal bars
complemented the cottage’s
heritage looks. The project
is a stunning example of
how sensitively designed
PVC-U windows can en-
hance period properties.
Colin Ashton of Irlam
Glass commented: “Uni-
NEW ADDITION
TO SENIOR ALI
VU RANGE
Senior Architectural Systems
has added further flexibility
to its popular Ali range of
aluminium doors and windows
with the launch of the new Ali
VU flush casement window.
Already available as an
versal Trade Frames was
one of the few fabricators
who were able to offer the
combination of Agate Grey
and a mechanically jointed
finish. Everything ran very
smoothly and the attention
to detail was excellent.
The factory-fitted astragal
bars meant we didn’t need
any extra time on site and
fitting the windows was no
different to fitting standard
casement windows, so we
were able to complete the
job faster.”
Brian Kruger, Managing
Director of Universal Trade
Frames, concluded: “We’re
seeing increasing demand
for heritage products
such as the Spectus Flush
Casement Window and the
market-leading Spectus Ver-
tical Slider. It’s because they
deliver everything modern
homeowners want – aes-
thetic integrity, low main-
tenance, thermal efficiency
and exceptional security.”
