6 JANUARY 2014 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk Full steam ahead Halo customer Bennion & Sons completed an exciting installation recently, after the Wakefield-based company were asked to fit 50 replacement windows at The Kirklees Light Railway Station (KLR). Director, Sam Bennion explains: “The job was to remove the existing, rotting timber windows and replace them with high-spec, double glazed PVC-U alternatives. The windows were of bespoke size and included a number of absolute privacy glass units, and obscure glass for areas such as public toilets. “We used the esteemed Eclipse profile from Halo as it was the perfect choice to meet the high specification required by KLR and their energy efficiency requirements. All of the windows were fitted with opening top lights to improve ventilation during the summer months.” Eclipse is a fully-versatile and totally-integrated 70mm system, which is integrated with Halo’s ‘fully-versatile and totally-integrated’ Esthetique chambered 70mm system, meaning the same thermal inserts, beads, ancillaries, reinforcements, mouldings and hardware are used, which help to keep stock holding to a minimum. It also offers excellent thermal efficiency and can achieve a WER ‘A’ rating. Stuart Ross, General Manager of K irklees Light Railway comments: “Since the installation, we have already seen a noticeable difference in heat levels throughout the station building.” Halo, 01282 716611, www.whshalo.com Boosted brochure for retail installers Glazerite Windows Limited has launched its own enhanced version of the NEW VEKA retail brochure with additional information and images as well as all hardware tailored specifically to the Glazerite product range. sdfsdfsdfs The trade fabricator has also introduced three new categories to its existing range of VEKA-based product brochures, bringing the total now to six. In the 24-page retail brochure, Glazerite has added a number of product revisions and up-to-date images, including several specific to Glazerite installations, plus additional pages on the extensive range of styles and colours of hardware offered to its customers. There is also an entire spread ‘Our installers want to sell themselves, not us’ on the importance of security in the home along with a clear and detailed breakdown of how this can be achieved with Glazerite windows and doors. One notable absence however is any reference to Glazerite, so continuing the fabricator’s philosophy of allowing installers to project their own quality and professionalism alongside the global reputation of the VEKA systems. Glazerite Director Jason Thompson explained: “Our installers want to sell themselves, not us, so we are more than happy to remain transparent and let them do that.” Visit www.glazeritewindows. co.uk
