Coming up roses Twopods in asky
Roseview Windows has improved its
product offering with the launch of
an exclusive range of premium quality
window furniture.The furniture includes
a bespoke cam catch, cam locks and
travel restrictors, and is exclusively
available on the Ultimate Rose,
Roseview’s award-winning sash window.
Managing director, Willie Kerr says:
“The new furniture was acollaborative
project between our R&D team and one
of the UK’s leading hardware
manufacturers and has significantly
raised the bar in terms of aesthetics,
quality, and performance. Most PVC-U
sash windows use the same hardware
you find on a timber window and it
doesn’t quite meet the necessary
requirements. Our new furniture onthe
other hand has been specifically
designed for aPVC-U frame.”
The new hardware features the ‘R’
from the Rose Collection brand and is
available in five colours –gold, bronze,
chrome, antique black and the hugely
popular pewter. “The hardware is
exclusive toRoseview sowill give our
customers yet another advantage over
the competition,” Says Kerr.

Chigwell Window Centre has
installed aWegoma Supercut 5
which it claims has increased
output bymore than 400%.
According to Wegoma, the
Supercut 5machining centre
has been custom designed for
the UK and Irish window
industry.
Sunny Singh –one of the
founders says: “We were inthe
process of purchasing machinery
but we couldn’t find amachining
centre that would do exactly what we wanted it to. One of our
other suppliers suggested the Supercut so we got incontact with
Wegoma.
“The Wegoma guys were fantastic.They spent two weeks on site
during the installation, which only took four weeks in total. It was a
very smooth process and led to an easy transition from our
previous system tothe new one.We couldn’t believe the
immediate results.” ❐
Building upon the market-leading
success of the Skypod range of
skylights, Eurocell has announced its
latest model – the SkypodSQ. This
square skylight presents perfectly
balanced sight lines and,due to its simple
but ingenious four-hip design, lets in
more natural light than conventional
designs of equivalent surface area.
Designed with the installer in mind,
SkypodSQ can be fitted quickly and
accurately because there are no mitring
or awkward angles to cut – just
assemble and screw into place using the
pre-drilled screw holes.
Skypod’s success in the market is due
in no small part toits good looks and
aesthetics especially when compared to
other PVC-U systems. Plus, it offers
better value for money than aluminium
alternatives. Its contemporary design
means that Skypod is the most effective
means of boosting headroom and
volume, while welcoming extra natural
light into otherwise drab flat-roofed
rooms.
As with all Skypod products,
SkypodSQ is available in the full colour
range of anthracite grey,moondust grey,
golden oak, rosewood and white –with
awhite interior finish as standard. A
further 30 colour options can be made
to order in just three weeks.
Skypod has a fixed 20-degree roof
pitch and is supplied with self-cleaning,
temperature controlled glass in blue,
neutral, bronze and clear as standard,
with aU-value of 1.0W/m²K achievable. ❐
