ROOMS AND
VIEWS WOW
REDROW
WITH LINIAR!
Window manufacturer, Rooms and Views
has been working with
new property developers, Redrow Homes
for 14 years – so the
Chester company was
its first choice for a
new luxury homes
development, ‘Abode’ in
Buckley, aimed at the
younger house buyer.
Redrow’s designers
wanted a combination of traditional and
contemporary in one
dwelling. The windows
were critical so Redrow
approached Rooms and
Views to ask if it was
possible to create the
look they wanted.
Rooms and Views thought
of the Liniar flush sash
PVCu window, and took
a sample of the lead-free,
energy-efficient window,
foiled in flat grey for a
modern edge, to Redrow. It
is modelled on a traditional
pre-1935 timber window
style, with a z-section and
two seals. The window sash
fits flush to the frame for
great aesthetics, unlike a
‘standard’ PVCu window.
Made with Liniar’s multi-chambered PVCu profile,
the flush sash offers a much
higher thermal performance
than timber, achieving
a U-value of 1.3 W/m²k
– and is virtually maintenance-free.
‘fits flush to the
frame for great
aesthetics’
Redrow even built a house
within its head office to see
what the windows would
actually look like!

Director Simon Wade explains: “We have been a member
of Network VEKA since 2011, and it has made a big difference to us and our customers.
“We’ve now utilised the Network VEKA Marketing Portal
to update the livery on our vans. The portal allows members to personalise brochures, poster and adverts etc and
also offers items like vehicle graphics. We appreciated
the fact that these van backs were offered as a subsidised
service so we took the opportunity to update all four of our
vans. By sending Network VEKA a picture of the finished
vans, we’ll be rewarded with £100 back.
“it’s a great talking point as people stop to ask our fitters
why we have a picture of Steve Davis and also set us apart
from all the double glazing companies with poorly designed vehicles.
“We’ll be driving home the Network VEKA message of
quality and service throughout Rugby and the wider area!”
