property’s 46 sash windows

Long-standing VEKA Group customer SWC
Trade Frames was proud to act as a ‘one-
stop-specification-shop’ for a stately six-
bedroom new build in the Yorkshire Dales.
The Scarborough-based company
fabricates high quality Halo products from
VEKA Group and was able to supply the 46
Vertical Sliders and 3 sets of French Doors
needed for the prestigious job.
SWC Sales Director Mark Catchpole
explains: “We were delighted to provide
everything necessary for our client Selby
Glass to complete this Yorkshire manor
house to a beautiful standard.
“We’ve worked with Selby Glass for years,
and the team there know they can rely
on the quality of our products without
question. We use VEKA Group profile,
so we can vouch for the standard of
our systems right from raw materials to
finished frames, and we can offer enviably
swift lead times.
These products combine stunning good
looks with perfect performance; they
look much like traditional timber but offer
the additional modern energy-efficiency
benefits and low maintenance of PVC-U.
“SWC also has an in-house spraying
facility, so alongside VEKA Group’s great
Variations lamination offering, we can
provide any other colour the customer
requires and ensure a perfect colour match
and cohesive overall finish across all our
ranges.

“We pride ourselves on going ‘above and
beyond’ for our customers. For example, the
Halo Vertical Sliders for this job were supplied
to an A+11 rating, effectively ‘future proofing’
this project by going beyond the standard
specification requirements, and the windows
and doors were supplied to Approved
Document Q standards for security.”
Arthur Fenn, Director of Selby Glass,
commented: “This 7400 sq ft stone-built
manor house was a pleasure to work
on. It had been designed and built to an
exceptionally high standard by one of our
long-standing developer clients, Neil Battye,
who knows that quality is key.
“Neil works with Selby Glass on a regular
basis, and has done for the last 20 years or
so, because he knows we constantly strive
to exceed his already high expectations. Neil
approached us to do the job with the design in
mind, and trusted us to find and fit the highest
quality products to meet his specification.
“We tend to use a number of suppliers, but
we knew in this case that SWC would be best
able to meet every single one of the specialist
requirements. We also trusted the SWC team
to operate with speed and professionalism,
so that we could – in turn – offer our
client a swift turnaround, and we weren’t
disappointed.
“The job involved 46 Halo Vertical Sliders
sprayed Pebble Grey (inside and out) and 3
sets of coordinating French Doors from VEKA
Group.
“The project looked great and the quality
of products we installed from SWC means
that they will offer phenomenal performance
for years to come. The beauty of PVC-U
windows and doors in this day and age,
means that we can offer the traditional,
classic style of timber sash windows, but
they will never need sanding or repainting
and they offer ease of operation, along with
energy efficiency, acoustic insulation, and
security.
“The Vertical Sliders and French Doors from
VEKA Group were simple and easy to fit. The
most difficult thing about the job was not
getting distracted by the view!”
VEKA Group Sales Director Neil Evans
added: “This sprawling rural manor house is
a great example of how modern materials
and classic aesthetics can be combined
to create a ‘timeless’ finish. Selby Glass
and SWC trade frames have put VEKA
Group systems to great use for their client,
showcasing the versatility of these systems
for all types of properties.
“VEKA Group is proud to work with
fabricators and specifiers on everything
from sleek city skyscrapers, to historic
heritage properties and everything in
between. As we often highlight, our products
are designed to meet all the specifications
you would expect from such an industry-
leading supplier, ‘for now, for the future, for
life.’”
