FIVE SYSTEMS... ONE ANSWER
How many fabricators
does it take to supply
five separate door and
window systems to install in one house? The
answer is just one if it’s
Glazerite Windows Ltd,
as Andy Jubb discovered
when one job came up
that required just that.
“The job needed casement
windows, a black foiled PVC
Back door, a patio door, bifolds and an unusual floor
length tilt/turn window to
match the bi-folds,” said
Andy, of Worksop-based AJ
Joinery.
“I’ve worked with Glazerite for a few years now so I
knew I could get everything
from the one place but
without them, I might have
had to go to two or three
just to do the one job.”
Glazerite even stepped in
to show Andy the correct
installation procedure for bifolds, he added: “I’d never
done a bi-fold before but
they were a big help and I’ll
definitely be doing more of
them in future.”
Altogether, the job entailed a three-pane Imagine
bi-fold, two-pane patio
doors, a black foil on white
PVCu door, FS70 casement
windows and the tilt/turn
panoramic window. The
bi-fold and patio doors were
manufactured in Glazerite’s
new dedicated production
facility by staff specially
trained to work on these
product lines.
‘the unusual demands of this
job highlighted the benefits of
choosing a fabricator that offers
VEKA’s entire product range’
Glazerite’s Peter Smith said
the unusual demands of this
job highlighted the benefits
of choosing a fabricator that
offers VEKA’s entire product
range: “Because Andy could
get everything from a single
source, all he needed to do
was measure up, put in his
order and then get on with
the job.”

LABC Approval Secured
Synseal’s recently-launched Celsius
Solid Roof system is
now fully approved
and registered by the
LABC (Local Authority
Building Control) under
certificate number
EW550.
Construction of a completely new structure or
replacement of an existing
conservatory roof with a
solid roof will involve a
statutory obligation to submit a Building Regulations
application.
The LABC is a not-forprofit membership organisation that represents all
local authority building
control teams in England
and Wales, aiming to
ensure that all buildings
are habitable, dry, safe and
warm.
Celsius Solid Roof has
also been submitted for
approval by the LABSS
(Local Authority Building
Standards Scotland) who
are currently assessing the
system under the Scottish
Building Regulations.
With four million conservatories installed in England

agency, Purplex, has
helped one of Europe’s
largest manufacturers
of aluminium profile
systems, Hueck, become the preferred

relatively lightweight structure that will not unduly
stress existing conservatory
window walling structures
and foundations.
“We know that submitting
a Building Regulations application can seem a little
daunting for busy roofing installers,” comments
Neville Gleed, Synseal’s
Roofing Technical Manager.
“So Synseal has partnered
with the LABC and ASW
Consultants to give two
ways of making this process easier.”
