»»
TWO NEW COUNCIL HOUSING developments in Cumbernauld have been completed to provide 46 new homes . Nursery Court offers 16 one and two-bedroom cottage flats , and 30 new homes have been built on Cardowan Drive .
The windows and doors for the new homes were manufactured and installed by Walker Profiles , a leading manufacturer , supplier and installer of high-quality windows and doors .
“ Windows and doors are key to delivering extra security and energy efficiency for tenants ,” says Jim Gibson , Director at
Walker Profiles . “ All windows and doors were manufactured and fitted to the higher Secured by Design specification , the police initiative to design out crime .
“ Our teams installed white Rehau Total 70 tilt and turn PVCu windows which give modern styling as well as easy access for cleaning . We complemented the windows with white GRP composite doors to create an impressive entrance for tenants .”
As well as installing windows and doors in the new properties , Walker Profiles has a longstanding relationship with North Lanarkshire
Council with an on-going maintenance contract with the council that covers more than 30,000 houses .
REINVENTING CLEAN
»»
BOHLE HAS LAUNCHED A revolutionary new cleaner which shifts stubborn dirt , paint and grime from a wide variety of surfaces , without damaging them .
XtraClean is a completely new cleaning formula , which cuts through grime without using chemical additives , acids or bleaching agents . Instead it uses a specially developed combination of ultra-fine microparticles , essential oils and surfactants which combine to create a mechanical effect , which loosens dirt without scrubbing . This means that it ’ s suitable for removing deposits of building dirt and rust from a wide variety of materials including glass , stainless steel , ceramics , tile joints and other hard surfaces .
“ It ’ s a pretty common story , you ’ ve installed windows and doors , you ’ ve gone away from site , while other trades have come in and you come back to find that the plasterer has not only plastered the walls but also your doors or windows ”, says Dave Broxton , Managing Director , Bohle .
Sold in a paste form , XtraClean is easy to apply using a standard soft cloth or sponge and then re-worked with water as required depending on the level of contamination . Depending on the substrate it ’ s also powerful enough to remove graffiti from walls or even concrete or mortar splashes from glass without damaging it .

DEKKO WINDOW Systems has extended the premium credentials of its seamless uPVC system with the addition of a new grey substrate .
The new substrate , finished in an Anthracite Smooth Matt foil , gives the Infinity Flush Sash a matching high-end finish on the inside of the frame – replacing the standard white or dark brown finish that ’ s found when you open other window systems . The combination of the grey on grey appearance , alongside both Graf welded frames and now cills , means Infinity is expertly placed to help Dekko customers target the premium end of the home improvement market .
“ With its Smooth Matt finish , the new substrate adds the final touch to what is already a highly-desirable and high-margin window system ,” comments Kurt Greatrex , Sales Director at Dekko Window Systems .
“ If our luxury Räum aluminium collection is just outside the homeowner ’ s budget , our customers can effectively recreate those premium , contemporary aesthetics using the
Infinity Flush Sash . It ’ s part of our commitment as the UK ’ s leading premium fabricator to provide all the tools and support our customers need to thrive in this ultra-competitive market .”
