PVCu Windows
Our PVCu windows combine thermal efficiency with environmental credentials, offering cost-effective solutions for new build developments. Available in white and foil finishes, these windows meet stringent building regulations while allowing rapid manufacturing through standardised cavity closer systems. Backed by Kitemark certifications and Secured By Design accreditation, they ensure security and performance compliance.
Aluminium Windows
Premium powder-coated aluminium windows provide architectural aesthetics with enhanced structural capabilities, enabling larger aperture sizes than traditional materials. Designed for modern developments requiring slim sightlines and thermal efficiency, these systems comply with BS EN ISO standards and integrate seamlessly with fire-resistant cavity closer solutions.
Sliding Wardrobes
Made-to-measure sliding and bi-fold wardrobe systems maximise storage efficiency while maintaining contemporary aesthetics. Installed by CSCS-certified teams, these solutions include soft-close mechanisms and custom interior configurations. Certified craneable stillages ensure safe high-rise installation, with QA documentation provided for every project.
Cavity Closers
Thermally optimised cavity closers enhance energy efficiency while addressing fire safety requirements in timber frame constructions. Available up to 300mm standard widths, these systems include optional 'Fire Sok' one-hour protection barriers, developed in response to evolving building regulations for modern developments.
Interior Storage Solutions
Tailored internal storage configurations include full-height hanging, modular shelving towers, and soft-close drawers. Designed to complement architectural schemes, these systems integrate with wardrobe ranges across 22-storey developments, featuring anodised aluminium framing and custom foil finishes for design cohesion.
