Home Improvement - Material - Performance - Security - RooflineThe ultimate home improvement?
You can divide the products you buy to improve your home into two types. On the one hand, there are the luxuries. The things that add elegance, style and character to your home but that, if push came to shove, you could live without.
And on the other hand, there are those products that are absolutely essential. Products that actually effect the substance of your house and the lifestyle of your family. Things that touch your health and wealth.
Products that really make a difference to the way you live your life.
The Ultimate Collection of windows, doors, porches and conservatories is one of the few home improvement purchases you will come across in your life that satisfies both sets of criteria.
Without doubt, The Ultimate Collection really does give you the best of all possible worlds.
These are home improvements that, in one sense, are purely cosmetic. Products designed to transform the appearance of your living space, adding luxury and personality.
But these are also products that are amazingly practical.
The Ultimate Collection definitely gives you a better looking home, potentially adds to the value of your property, certainly makes your house quieter, warmer and more comfortable and probably ends up bringing you significant savings on fuel bills and home maintenance, in the long run.
Everything points to the fact that The Ultimate Collection is truly the ultimate home improvement.

The ultimate material...
The first thing to understand about The Ultimate Collection is that its products are unlike any other windows, doors, porches and conservatories in terms of their basic construction technology.
Before The Ultimate Collection, if you happened to live in a beautifully renovated country cottage, you’d probably have to accept the same frame style as someone who lived in a stylish ultra-modern town house.
That’s because most ordinary frames are manufactured with square, straight edged profiles. They all tend to look very similar. So, too many homes have had to settle for ‘me too’ windows and doors that lack any real personality.
What The Ultimate Collection has done is to take PVCu, an innovative frame material, a material that can look and feel as warm and full of character as wood, and shape it into a range of unique, individual styles.
The Ultimate Collection offers you a whole palette of sculptured and chamfered profiles, a complete spectrum capable of complementing, enhancing or transforming everyone's dream for every style of home.

The ultimate performance...
We’ve already mentioned that The Ultimate Collection features PVC-u and how we craft it to give all the warmth, character and flexibility of a natural wood.
But what is even more vital than the ways in which our PVCu is similar to wood, are the ways in which it can actually perform better than wood.
Wood rots and decays. It also splinters. It gets damp. It needs painting. It needs year-after-year care and maintenance. Gaps appear. Wooden frames need replacing.
The Ultimate Collection u-PVC won’t rot. Or fade or ever need painting. Or ever need care apart from a wipe with a damp cloth.
It will stay looking as good as the day it was installed.
On top of this there’s the actual glazing technology...
All our low emissivity (LOW ‘E’) sealed window units, use glass complying with the new Document L of the building regulations.
This is part of a government initiative to cut heat loss from buildings, ensuring that your home heating system functions at maximum efficiency and therefore reduces carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Our LOW ‘E’ double glazed units, with a full 20mm airspace between the panes are environmentally friendly, will cut your fuel bills down to size and significantly reduce external noise.

The ultimate security...
The priorities are changing. We live in an increasingly dangerous world. Today we have to concentrate more than ever on bringing security features into our products.
The Ultimate collection has been refined and designed to protect you and your home as effectively as possible.
Every security innovation is built into every unit in The Ultimate Collection.
The locking technology at the heart of every window incorporates features such as espagnolette shoot bolts with a minimum of 8 locking points.
Doors feature both hook and dead-bolt locking with one inch penetration into high security stainless steel keeps.
The prevention of accidents is also a priority. Residential and French doors now incorporate a low threshold to ease access for all ages. Fire escape hinges are optional extras, as are restrictor hinges, designed to keep young children safe and secure. And toughened safety glass is the standard specification on all doors.
Within the context of security and peace of mind, it’s worth mentioning the pedigree behind the ultimate collection.
These are products you and your family can rely on absolutely.
The manufacturing technology behind these innovations has been in place for over 25 years. That’s clearly important in a business in which there are so many here-today, gone-tomorrow type of companies operating.
