STAND OUT FEATURES
FROM STELLAR
which allows products to be
fabricated without dummy sash-
es or reverse adaptors. Gerald
Allen, Marketing Manager at
Epwin Window Systems ex-
plains: “Most aluminium systems
use dummy sashes, couplers
or reverse adaptors to ensure
the windows can be internally
glazed. This can detract from
the overall appearance of the
window and uses more resourc-
es to achieve. The patent-pend-
ing reverse butt joint from
Stellar overcomes this problem
and ensures the slim lines are
preserved and uses less mate-
rials. Furthermore, our intelli-
gently-designed internal cleats
Stellar from Epwin Window
Systems was designed to push
the boundaries of aluminium
window and door design and
offers numerous industry-firsts
that mean it is faster to fabricate
and simpler to install than rival
systems. The brief was to develop
an aluminium window and door
system that harnessed the devel-
opments witnessed in the PVC-U
sector and give the retail and
light commercial markets exactly
what they needed and had been
asking for.
One of Stellar’s stand out
features is the unique pat-
ent-pending reverse butt joint
ensure a clean joint is achieved
offering superb aesthetics too.”
Stellar consists of two open-
out flush casement window
options and a flush residential
door. The system will soon be
joined by a lift and slide patio
door and a bi-fold door that
offers the lightweight strength
of aluminium combined with the
option of PVC-U beading that
means it sits more comfortably
in UK homes.
All products come with the
option of crimped or mechanical-
ly jointed finishes offering strong
design flexibility.

SRJ WINDOWS PROTECT SCOTTISH
HOMES WITH APEER INVESTMENT
Composite door manufacturer Apeer is enjoying success in the
north of the United Kingdom as new and existing installer
partners across Scotland broaden their product ranges.
In August 2019, the
company entered into
a new partnership with
Dunfermline based SRJ
Windows. Following a
recommendation, Manag-
ing Director Stephen Mac-
intosh contacted Apeer’s

sales team and arranged
to visit their premises in
Northern Ireland for a
first-hand glimpse of their
extensive composite door
range. Highly impressed,
Stephen quickly commis-
sioned the introduction
of five products into his
showroom:
“SRJ Windows was
looking for a new com-
posite door to offer, and
particularly one with a
high spec” he said. “Given
our geographical location,
many of our customer’s
homes are at the mercy of
North Sea winds bringing
Scandinavian tempera-
tures. Therefore, it was
vital that the products we
chose were well made
and able to sustain the
Scottish elements. We
have taken on the 70mm
double rebated doors
which guarantee thermal
efficiency by utilising
different types of hinges
and locks. The range is
attractive, and customers
seem to be enjoying the
new products we have to
show them.
“Due to their size, Ap-
eer can offer support at a
level that smaller suppli-
ers can’t. There is a defi-
nite feel that they aren’t

everything we needed to
showcase the doors in
their best light.”
