Tradesmith has become one
of the first Halo customers to
adopt and promote the new
Variations range of coloured foils
from The VEKA UK Group.
‘Variations’ is an
extended range of
18 coloured and
woodgrain foils available on Halo’s Rustique
and System10 profile
suites. Under the banner of “United Colours
of Tradesmith”, Tradesmith has taken on
the extended range
of colours to offer
customers even more
specification options.
Mark Hutchinson, Tradesmith’s MD, explains: “As a
long-standing Halo customer, we are pleased to offer
the extended Variations
colour range. It means we
can provide our customers
with the same high-quality
products they have come
EAST OR WEST... BEST FOR
CONSERVATION-GRADE VS
Trade fabricator Glazerite is celebrating another heritage
application for its traditional looking Vertical Slider – and has
proved the window is popular literally from coast to coast.
Just a few months after the
acclaimed white woodgrain
foiled VS was chosen for a
vintage styled house near
the most easterly part
of Britain, on the Norfolk
coast, the same authentic
appearance has now won
a place in a Conservation
Area near the most westerly
tip of Wales.
Consent for the installation,
near the historic cathedral city
of St. Davids, was granted by the
Pembrokeshire Coast National
Park authority because the VEKA-
based Glazerite windows were
virtually indistinguishable from
the traditional timber they were
‘very rare for
anything in PVC-U
to be accepted in a
conservation area’
replacing, according to David
Morris, director of Gardinia (West
Wales) which carried out the
installation.
Glazerite director Jason Thompson added: “It is still very rare
for anything in PVC-U to be
accepted in a conservation area
or anywhere else in a heritage
setting so we are very proud that
our vertical slider is one of the
forerunners in this movement. Of
course, it makes perfect sense for
such properties to have all the
benefits of a high specification
PVC-U window as long as it looks
authentic.”

to expect, but now with an
even greater opportunity to
personalise their projects.
“There are colours to suit
traditional homes or contemporary commercial projects and we are pleased
to offer our customers
short lead times, even on
coloured frames.”
Tradesmith also offers a
range of nine colours on
its conservatory collection to complement the 18
shades of the Variations
range. Product and colour
