Ely's new heritage
Rehau Heritage vertically sliding PVCu windows manufactured by Roseview Windows have been installed in a Freshwater Estates development in Ely, Cambridgeshire. The windows were chosen because they were considered a suitably authentic-looking replica of traditional timber box sashes for this conservation area site. The Heritage vertical sliders are approved by more than 20 local authority planning departments across the UK for installation in conservation areas.

The fibreglass alternative
Therma-Tru's new range of fibreglass doors is designed to take the hassle out of door selection. While timber doors are popular with homebuyers, their tendency to shrink and swell gives homeowners headaches as they become overly tight or draughty. Therma-Tru's fibreglass doors look as attractive as wood but offer five times the impact resistance of wooden doors, and warping, shrinkage and swelling are non-existent.
