Thumbs
Up for
Approved
Installer
Scheme
In a little under a year
since it was introduced,
The VEKA UK Group’s
Approved Installer
Scheme has been met
with unprecedented success, already
welcoming around 400
businesses to date. Its
parent company has
been inundated with
positive testimonials,
praising what Approved
Installers, Fabricators and Suppliers
have found to be the
Scheme’s main benefits.
lead generation. Our whole
team agrees on the positive
impact that personalised
marketing materials, created via the online Marketing Hub have had on the
business.
“The leads we receive
from enquiries on the dedicated homeowner-facing
website are indispensable.
We know that customers
want – and are expecting –
to hear from us, so the conversion rates are fantastic.
In the last two weeks alone
we have received and won
two jobs this way.”
ORANGERIES WITH
A MODERN TWIST
Synseal’s Modena
orangery has been
installed at a detached
Lancashire home to
replace an existing
two-storey building
extension and conservatory, delivering
an improved replacement extension which
affords a truly modern
and flexible living
space.
Key to the design was
installation of a Modena
structural orangery with a
K2 glazed roof overhead, to
illuminate the wide-spanning L-shaped extension
measuring seven metres
by six metres that now
combines a luxury kitchen
with a light and airy social
space.
Boasting contemporary
and linear aesthetic styling,
the Modena is primarily designed for urban townscape
and modern suburban
applications, presenting
traditional orangery design
features with a modern
twist. In addition to an
internal perimeter soffit
which is typically 604mm
deep, Modena’s striking
decorative aluminium fascia
is a unique feature, creating
an additional overhanging
external soffit which is just
short of 60cm in depth.
When designing modern
open plan premises, flexible use of space is essential
and Modena can be fitted
with full-width bi-folding
doors to deliver just that.
For the bi-fold door on
this project, the threshold
was built-in and precisely
levelled against the adjacent internal oak floor, to
seamlessly link the inside
and outside.
The technology used
in the build, including
Synseal’s exclusive Celsius
performance glass, means
this orangery extension is
highly thermally efficient
and can be used all year
round. The Modena fascia
has also been custom-
ised on the side and rear
elevations to be shallow
in design with no soffit
overhang above window
openings, to maximise
daylight. By contrast, the
deep external soffit above
the bi-fold door provides
effective shade and shelter
from the rain.
