VEKA UPVC WINDOWS AND DOORS LEADING<br />
THE WAY ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD<br />
Although it may only be more subliminal than<br />
obvious, a house or condo which sports the<br />
best quality of uPVC window frames and glass<br />
is generally the kind of residence which is immediately<br />
attractive to outsiders and reveals a<br />
measure of that elusive quality called ‘class’.<br />
Additionally, a house or condo fitted out in such<br />
a way is usually made more valuable as a<br />
saleable commodity.<br />
Naturally, there are a number of companies<br />
operating within the uPVC space in Pattaya,<br />
but one of them is a definite standout when it<br />
comes to longevity within this specialist space,<br />
and that is the German-run VEKA uPVC<br />
Windows & Doors.<br />
For many long-time residents and regular<br />
visitors the VEKA company might be more<br />
familiar under its previous incarnation as ARC<br />
Windows & Doors. Indeed, the VEKA website<br />
is still www.arc-windows-doors.com, reflecting<br />
a desire to maintain a link with the past while<br />
moving forward into a brighter future.<br />
The German VEKA Group has been around<br />
since 1969, established in Sendenhorst, Germany,<br />
and claims to be the world-wide leader<br />
in uPVC profiles.<br />
The Thai-based arm of the company offers<br />
custom-made windows and doors in any style<br />
and configuration to match the needs of customers.<br />
For example, in high buildings where strong<br />
winds at times can be a problem, it’s important<br />
to install windows that will not bend, but maintain<br />
their structural integrity.<br />
Leaking windows under heavy rains are also<br />
a perennial problem that should be easily addressed<br />
with properly-fitted uPVC windows and<br />
doors.<br />
In a succinct Power Point presentation, the<br />
operators of VEKA put forward a strong case<br />
for the installation of their product in any<br />
house or condo. The two key factors for installing<br />
uPVC windows and doors are excellent<br />
thermal insulation (surely a huge factor<br />
in this tropical climate) and excellent acoustic<br />
insulation. As well, the products offer security<br />
and strength and are virtually maintenance<br />
free. The only real downside is the initial cost<br />
factor. After all, quality does come at a price,<br />
but if the end result is a long-term reduction<br />
in electricity costs, for example, then the initial<br />
outlay is well worth it.<br />
If your house or condo is exposed to direct<br />
sunlight the chances are you’ll want to install<br />
double glazing, simply to offset the harsh heat,<br />
as well as outside noise. The uPVC frames<br />
manufactured by VEKA are fitted with a galvanised<br />
steel reinforcement to provide mechanical<br />
stability.<br />
As the company notes, ‘windows and doors<br />
are very special architectural elements…They<br />
must function reliably, whilst looking good<br />
both from the inside as well as the outside.’<br />
‘A perfect window is made of high quality<br />
glazing, a robust frame and casing, strong<br />
hinges and locks, and a well-designed handle.’<br />
VEKA ticks all the boxes when it comes<br />
to these requirements.<br />
