C O M New run- through horn option announced an exciting new extension to its suite of PVCu window systems from The VEKA UK Group, with a run-through horn option for its top-swung casement windows. The Fleetwood-based fabricator is also celebrating its 18th anniversary with The VEKA UK Group in 2017. Popular with homeowners, horned PVCu casement windows mimic the style of traditional timber-framed units. Until recently however, such additions on the VEKA Fully Sculptured system have visibly been appended to the main frame, with a seam separating the two sections. Scott Law, Managing Director of Express Trade Frames explains: “Our run- through horn design offers authenticity for homeowners who want the look of traditional timber-framed windows but with all the thermal, acoustic and weatherproofing performance of a PVCu system. “As well as fabricating these frames ourselves, we are also offering the sash in kit form, so other fabricators are able to assemble them too, making the ordering and production process more efficient for them and their customers.” Express Trade Frames is offering run-through horns on two types of Fully Sculptured top-hung casement window styles: those with a small, top opener; and those with a half-sash top opener, giving the look of a vertical sliding sash. www.e-t-f.co.uk
