DOORS&WINDOWS

LOOKING FOR A CIRCULAR
»»Universal Arches recently
manufactured a circular pivot window for an
impressive Residence 9 refurbishment project
in eclectic grey in Audley, Stoke-On-Trent.
Residence 9 is a premium window system
that’s been designed and engineered by
Eclectic Systems to replicate the 19th Century
flush sash timber window. It can be considered
for use in Conservation Areas due to its
authentic appearance and is also appealing to
any homeowner who wants a top end luxury
window brand.
Eclectic Systems and Universal Arches agreed
a relationship back in 2012 to exclusively
develop fully welded, shaped frames with flush

sashes, including circular, arched head windows
and angled frames in the Residence 9 system, in
a variety of through colour, foiled finishes. This
latest project was also part of a re-development
that included other windows and a Solidor R9
composite door.
Leon Day, managing director of Universal
Arches commented: “Our business
relationships reflect the way in which we work,
professionally and with a quality-led culture,
as our ISO9001:2008 certification shows.”

Investing To Keep
Customers Ahead
»»Forward-thinking,
national Halo fabricator,
Direct Trade, is pleased to
announce that it has invested
in an additional 40,000 square
foot facility in order to further
streamline its processes, while
gearing up for several exciting
new product launches in
2015.
The company currently
operates from a 40,000
square foot factory for its
PVCu window production
and has an additional two
facilities for doors, roofs and
its Kolorbond operations.
The investment means that
the total manufacturing space
will increase from 61,000 to
87,500 square feet, with the
consolidation of the door, roof
and Kolorbond spaces, which,
in turn, will improve service
and communications by having
these divisions under one roof.
Direct Trade’s Managing
Director, Steve Green, explains:

“All of this investment has
one key goal, to help keep
our customers ahead of their
competitors through better
lead times, more efficient
manufacturing processes to pass
on great value for money and a
larger choice of product range.
We have also invested in our
equipment with the addition
of a new Stuga line, and in our
people with the recruitment
of an experienced Technical
Manager in order to truly
maximise the efficiency of our
production processes.”
