UPVC & Composite Products
At our factory, we create and manufacture conservatories, windows and doors in solid hardwood.
However we are often asked to provide and fit the same items but in uPVC. This is perfectly possible but in line with our desire for high quality and a substantial product, we have adopted the WHS Halo profile: ‘Rustique’ or the Rehau sculptured look.
Obviously the uPVC approach and indeed composite doors offer a lower cost option. We do not however dumb down specifications or the product simply to compete with the general uPVC trade.
As our base is in the hardwood timber world, we have sought what can be termed ‘the least worst alternative’!
These profiles are a little more rounded or sculptured in appearance. All are available in a clean white look or various woodgrain finishes and there is a wide range of colours now available to suit all requirements.
These approaches enable a storm proof, classic look but we have a third option also which gives the opportunity for flush fit ‘heritage’ style. This is known as the ‘Residence 9’ system. With this traditional design, pegs and stays or a full stainless steel friction hinge system is available whilst giving a uPVC product that harks back to traditional, old buildings and cottages.
For composite entrance doors, we use two main manufacturers – one is ROCAL and the other is APEER (New World Developments). Both offer high quality aesthetics and a large range of choice, again without compromise.
The Rocal door system, for example, has a solid timber core and doesn’t use a foam filled approach; Apeer offers a vast range of designs and options, both traditional and modern.
