Now Certass and BFRC have different "A" ratings, which will cause serious confusion with retail customers. We explain whats going on here.
Sash windows are generally square on the outside to fit the external brickwork and square on the inside, to fit the internal reveals. Whilst some frames are swept head, arched or curved there is a style that to date has been impossible for PVC producers to replicate, an arched sash infill but a square headed sash and frame internally.
The case involves a modern building (less than 20 years old) of three flats, located in a Conservation Area. The occupiers wanted to replace all the existing wood frame sash windows with good quality PVC replacements because the originals are now in a poor condition, access for maintenance is awkward and costly to maintain.
Starting in 1988, we have focused solely on the manufacture of high-end PVC box sash windows ever since. In fact, Masterframe was the first company to achieve WERs on its products, with the first 5 licenses issued by the BFRC were awarded to Masterframe. In addition, our PVC sash window was also the first to achieve "Secured By Design" (SBD), what’s more, Masterframe have won the title of fabricator of the year, not once, but twice.
As ‘replacing the replacements’ becomes even more of an issue, installers need to think about diversifying. According to Gardinia Windows (Kirklees) Ltd, sash windows are where the growth is.
We are delighted to report that our team have achieved our highest sales ever, for the month of June 2013, acknowledging the understanding that there is a need for our Quality Products and Friendly Service.
Masterframe would like to say a BIG Thank You to all its customers who visited us at the Fit Show 2013.
Masterframe Window Ltd’s customers say they choose its windows because they’re the highest quality sashes on the market. “But we can’t take all the credit for ourselves,” declares Managing Director Alan Burgess.
Denbigh-based Artisan Conservatories, Windows and Doors recently replaced 10 windows with Masterframe’s Bygone Collection PVC-U sashes in a townhouse in Conwy.
