PVC-U SYSTEMS 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. 16 Willie Kerr Incorporating full mechanical joints and Roseview’s exclusive run-through sash horn, the Ultimate Rose is considered by many inthe industry to be one of the best PVC-U sash windows on the market. The product has been accepted in numerous conservation areas and won new product of the year award atthe G-13 Awards. The Rose Collection also includes the Heritage Rose,which like the Ultimate Rose is also based on the Rehau Heritage system, and the Charisma Rose, which is based on the Eurocell Charisma system. ❐ ww.roseview.co.uk 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. ❐ www.eurocell.co.uk Find the stories on this page and much more at: www.thefabricator.pro ReceiveThe Fabricator.pro every month by email.
