Making the whites whiter and grey the new black!

The new Visage Ornate® range of PVCu windows includes the new whiter finish, providing a cleaner and better-looking profile. The co-extruded black gasket has been replaced with a grey "invisible" version.

This looks so inconspicuous that when standing in front of a window you can't even see the gasket sightlines at all. And, they won't discolour like dreaded white gaskets!

Additional features include a new rounder nosed cill, matching th curvy profile design, vented end cill caps and a new click-fit weather bar. These developments will give our customers a totally unique window and door range.

The great escape - the NEW egress hinge is nearly here.

Following customer feedback we will shortly be updating our egress hinge due to the general opinion that it is more important to open the fire-escape position first. We believe this makes perfect sense and should go some way towards satisfying local authority building controllers and FENSA inspectors.

Featuring instantly recognisabel green end-caps, the hinge is produced from high quality stainless steel, tested to 20,000 cycles and backed by a 10 year guarantee. Depending on opening sash size, the new hinge allows for full compliance with Part B Building Regulations for fire escape and meets the requirements of BS 8213.

Knock, knock, knock'in of heaven's door

Following customer feedback we are now offering the option of a factory fitted door knocker on our range of popular solid Visage® composite doors.

The new urn style knocker, fitted with a spy hole viewer as standard, is available in gold, silver and black. The knocker holds a 12 month guarantee and is fitted 500mm from the top of the door slab as standard.

New and improved box gutter kits for conservatory roofs.

We're also pleased to announce a new range of injection moulded box gutter adapters replacing the existing vac-formed four part range. The benefits of the new kits are that the gutter union and seal are built into the adaptor, and it features a flexible outlet position allowing window and door sashes to open without fouling.
