32 MAY 2015 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk 400th Member Milestone South Manchester’s Everglade, a fabricator and installer of Halo window and door systems from The VEKA UK Group, has celebrated becoming the 400th member of the leading profile manufacturer’s renowned Approved Installer Scheme. The initiative, launched less than a year ago at the FIT Show 2014, offers installers a raft of benefits, not least access to a suite of professionally designed marketing materials, customisable via its online Marketing Hub. Amy Grundy, National Sal es Manager for the Approved Installer Scheme explains: “Besides benefiting from the association with The VEKA UK Group, the country’s leading manufacturer of PVCu door and window systems, installers gain numerous other advantages by becoming ‘Approved’. “The online Marketing Hub offers Approved Installers a wide range of marketing materials at a fraction of the normal cost. “Our Fabmatch website links Approved Installers with Approved Fabricators in their area, helping to create a practical and efficient infrastructure, and ensuring they receive quality products, each and every time.” Perhaps one of the biggest draws of the Approved Installer offering is the targeted sales leads it provides, free of charge. Amy continues: “Potential customers can visit the homeowners’ section of www.vekauk.com, providing their postcode and details of the work they’d like done. We pass the info to their three nearest Approved Installers who then contact them to advise and discuss further. “We’re excited to have Everglade mark this milestone in the Approved Installer Scheme’s history. They’re an established and respected fabricator and installer that easily met our criteria for approval.

The Patio Door is the latest addition to the VEKA Imagine family, joining the widely acclaimed Bi-Fold and Flush French doors, and combines the benefits of the current patio system with a host of new enhancements and developments. Glazerite Director, Jason Thompson, said: “Our existing patio door has been a firm favourite of installers for some time, so we have very high hopes for the Imagine system with its improved technical performance, wider range of options and easier fitting. “Our entire Imagine range is proving very popular with installers and consumers and we are very pleased to be adding the patio system to that offering.” The Glazerite Imagine Patio Door is available in 18 colours and foils from the VEKA Variations range, with a choice of sculptured or bevelled sash and bead as well as a midrail option for a letterplate. Opening doors can be made to slide internally or externally, or both doors can slide if required, and a choice of two, three or four pane configurations is available. The system has a stepped outer frame to couple with standard 70mm products and ancillary products. Its interior sits completely flush for improved looks and a neater plaster line. The system boasts an array of specifications and special features including: Aluminium interlocks for extra mechanical strength; Unique quadruple seal interlock for maximum weather resistance; Secured by Design; Tested to BS6375 and PAS24 and optional aluminium low threshold. www.glazeritewindows.co.uk ADF PLASTICS LTD Pick up the PRO Installer, FREE, from one of over 600 trade counters.
