The Perfect Retreat From FrameXpress

FrameXpress was once again commissioned to supply some of the highest performance products on the market for a unique project in the SE. The project originally started life as a planned decked area, but subsequently grew in concept to become a large Garden Room that could be enjoyed as a separate space away from the main home. The completely self-contained project incorporates bifold doors with modern integral blinds and a thermally efficient glazed roof with active blu glass for easy maintenance and year round use. One unusual aspect to the Garden Room was a large tilt and turn window, which […]

Stedek Stops Composite Door Manufacturing for Residor

Stedek has stopped manufacturing its own GRP composite doors and switched to Residor. It’s the most secure GRP composite door, and it ticks all the boxes. The fast-growing Midlands fabricator needed a GRP composite door that’s PAS24:2016 certified – not PAS24:2012 – and Approved Document Q compliant, with very good thermal performance to win new build contracts. Stedek Sales Director Richard Hammond says: “We were manufacturing our own composite doors, but recent changes to security standards meant our door wasn’t up to the right standards. We wanted to tender for new build developments, so we approached Residor.” Residor is Approved […]

Glazing Clippings and Musings October 2016 by Helen Duval

Looking at the news over the last few weeks it is not surprising that Theresa May considered, at the recent EU Summit, that she will have to tackle ‘difficult moments’.  I think in fact,  there are a couple of people across ‘The Pond’ who have had their fair share of difficult moments already, with the Clinton vs. Trump debacle continuing to run on. I, for one, feel beleaguered by all the media surrounding the US Presidential election, which a friend in America found staggering when we talked about it.  The level of interest in it from an international media perspective […]
