DOORS&WINDOWS sponsored by A Growing Sash Market 88% of installers expect more sash window jobs in 2015, and 65% feel sash window jobs are more profitable than casements, according to the latest study into the market by Roseview Windows. »»Working alongside industry data specialists Insight Data, Roseview recently questioned over 10,000 installers, asking their opinions on sash windows and gauging their confidence in the market. Aside from concluding that the majority of installers expect the market to continue to grow, the survey also revealed that 69% buy-in sash windows with runthrough sash horns and 50% with mechanical joints. The move to these specialised conservation features goes hand in hand with the growth in the heritage market, where 2 k e we authentic aesthetics are especially important. 65% of installers said they had installed PVCu sash windows in a conservation area, with many agreeing that PVCu sash windows can replace timber, offering modern benefits whilst retaining traditional aesthetics. Mike Bygrave, marketing manager of Roseview Windows comments: “As a specialist sash window fabricator, Roseview has a vested interested in the future of the market so we decided to team up with Insight Data and gauge industry opinion. “The latest Palmer Market Report announced that the market had grown by 15%, but we wanted to go into more depth and hear the views of installers selling sash windows at the sharp end. It was fascinating to read the responses and overall the answers were very positive. It was particularly pleasing to see that 100% of our customers said we offered them enough technical support, helping them remain confident in a growing sash window market.” If you would like to discuss the market report in more detail, contact Roseview on 01234 712657. www.roseview.co.uk d lea e* tim Alu miniu m Patio Doors Top-range Visoglide + model by Example price* £944 2000w x 21 patio doo00h r We can powdercoat our patio doors in any RAL/British Standard colour, alongside our standard shades; White, Black, Grey Complies with part L of the building control document SITE DELIVERY AVAILABLE Lowest prices anywhere Get a price comparison now!
