Peace and
quiet for savvy
homeowners
Indications that property owners are becoming
more savvy about how
to get the best from
energy saving improvements to their homes
has been underlined by
the decision of a Berkshire resident to insist
on illbruck’s A-Rated
Installation System being used to ensure his
new windows achieved
their full potential once
fitted.
Mr Richard Hill, who
lives in Langford bear
Biggleswade, called on
Bedfordshire-based Scorpio
Windows to replace the
existing fenestration in his
1970s house, but was concerned that completing the
work with the traditional silicone bead seal around the
perimeter might not match
the performance potential
of the new PVCu windows.
Scorpio duly installed
a total of 15 frames with
High security • Low threshold • Sight lines • Improved safety features • Concealed hardware

offer advice on the correct
use of the A-Rated system’s
for the first few openings.
Colin Pepper, Director for
Scorpio Windows, commented, “This contract included the installation of 15
number high performance
A-rated PVCu casement
windows featuring 28mm
double glazed IG units, with
Low E glass and Argon gas
filling, and using warm edge
spacer bars. In the case of
this installation we found
the illbruck products slightly more time consuming,
but relatively easy to use;
resulting in a very satisfactory result.”
The customer added:
“I am delighted with the
look of my new windows
and I have really noticed
a difference in how warm
the house is as well as how
quiet it is.”
78% of installers optimistic
about composite door sales
One of the biggest industry surveys has forecast
strong growth for the
composite door market.
Researched by DoorStop in January 2015,
1,020 companies were
surveyed, with a net 73%
forecasting an improvement in sales (78% predicting an increase less
5% expecting a fall).
Patrick Dean, Door-Stop’s
Head of Sales and Marketing
adds: “The figures suggest
very strong growth for the
overall market. Installers
are optimistic – and rightly
so. Consumer confidence is
high and the falling price
of oil means people have
more disposable income. All
this is good news for home
Chart showing 78% of installers are optimistic
about composite door sales in 2015
improvements generally but
composite doors are also
benefiting from the continuing decline in PVC panels. It’s
looking good for the composite door market in 2015.”
Almost half (45%) of
respondents said they were
‘very optimistic’ for composite door sales with 33%
saying 2015 ‘should be better’
than 2014. Only 5% of those
surveyed expect worse
sales.
