Another Commercial Success for Adeva and Glazerite
Kent-based Adeva Home Improvements has built on its recent success in large scale commercial window installation with a triple glazing retrofit for a sheltered housing scheme in Whitstable .
Once again , the group praised The Glazerite UK Group Ltd and VEKA for their support in specifying and completing the contract , for 279 casement windows in the VEKA 70mm fully sculptured system finished in white , at the 12-storey Windsor House .
As with the previous installation , VEKA supplied the wind load calculations essential for installations at such height , with other technical support by Glazerite , without which Director Geoff Dwyer said the company would not have had the confidence to tender for the work .
Elderly residents at Windsor House were finding the first generation double glazed PVC-U had become draughty as well as making the flats costly to heat in cold weather . Adeva replaced them with far more energy-efficient A + Rated , triple-glazed VEKA 70FS units , for main contractor Hamilton Building Contractors .
