Systems company joins
Made in Britain campaign
Epwin Window Systems has just announced it has
become an official member of the Made in Britain
campaign. Gerald Allen, Marketing Manager at Epwin
Window Systems, said: “Naturally, we are proud to
support British innovation and technology and we’re
delighted to be part of the Made in Britain campaign.”
» » THE MADE IN BRITAIN
campaign aims to bring together
the entire manufacturing
community in Britain so businesses
can benefit in sales, marketing,
exports and PR. It encourages
buyers, specifiers and consumers
to treat the Directory as the
procurement site for British-made
goods and an invaluable way to find
new suppliers and buyers.
All of Epwin Window Systems’
operations are based in the UK and
are covered by regulations designed
to protect the environment. By
keeping its production in the UK,
it does not contribute unnecessarily
to transport pollution, plus it has
control over its supplies, its sources
and its quality.
UK production also offers
another clear benefit for anyone
working with or living with the
products. Gerald says: “There is no
need to import system products,
because the quality of what we
make here is exceptional and our
designs are as advanced as those
from anywhere else in the world.
Our profile systems are designed
for the UK’s housing stock and no
adaptations are necessary to force a
square peg into a round hole.”
Made in Britain is a fast-growing
community of like-minded
manufacturers from all around
the UK. By joining the campaign,
Epwin Window Systems is
highlighting to the industry that
‘the quality
of what we
make here is
exceptional’
it is making products right here
in Britain to the very highest of
standards. It’s a reassuring reminder
of the reliability that Epwin
Window Systems brands offer.

CLIP-ON CILLS AND LARGE OUTERFRAMES
» » THE INDUSTRY-LEADING PVC-U
systems supplier knows that the perfect
product range doesn’t begin and end with the
‘big ticket’ items. VEKA and Halo fabricators
and installers can take advantage of all the
carefully thought out extra details that make
VEKA Group systems so fitter friendly and
straightforward to fabricate.

As such, VEKA’s new clip-on cill eliminates
a host of potential problems that can occur
during installation, especially in the new build
sector. Marketing Director Dawn Stockell
explains: “Construction sites can be hectic
environments. With different tradespeople
all trying to get their own part of the job
completed, prominent door and window cills
have the potential to become cracked, scuffed
or scraped.
“Our two-part cill allows the ‘nose’ of the
cill to be added at the end of the installation,
when there is less going on and the likelihood
of it being damaged has been drastically
reduced. It works with VEKA and Halo’s
chamfered and sculptured systems and, as
you’d expect, it is available in all 29 colours
of the Variations collection to guarantee a
flawless finish.”
Along with the two-part clip-on cill,
VEKA Group has also developed a large
outerframe in order to help Halo customers
achieve a perfectly professional finish on every
project. This new, larger outerframe means
that installers no longer need to fit a frame
extension but instead can use a single profile
to avoid any gaps or difference in foil colour.
The large outerframe allows more hinge-
side plasterline clearance on residential
doors without the addition of a 15mm
frame extension and means there is no
unsightly join line. It also means there are
no additional stock items required as it uses
the same reinforcing as in the 72mm outer.
The minimum order quantity is just one
pack, and all hardware used on the 72mm
outerframe can also be used on the new 84mm
outerframe.
Dawn adds: “VEKA Group works tirelessly
to make sure our fabricators and installers
have all the ‘tools’ they need to simplify their
working day and streamline their business for
success. Often, we find that the most valuable
innovations in our industry can be a dozen
smaller things, rather than one dramatic new
invention, and we are constantly working on
the many helpful details that make the VEKA
difference.”
