Fourth VEKA fabricator has joined the huge refurbishment project for the London Borough of Hackney.
"There is a huge contemporary demand for vertical sliders, from both the new build market and refurbishment," comments John Warburton of VEKA.
"This is unsurprising as there are currently over 370,000 listed buildings in England and when refurbishment to these structures is undertaken, the architectural merit of the building has to be assessed and in order to keep the original character, key architectural components have to be replicated".
"This is where the VEKA vertical slider offers the perfect solution as it retains all the traditional features of its familiar counterpart but with the enhanced benefits that modern PVCu systems provide".

"PVCu is the perfect material for a sliding Sash window, the nature of the material means it's impervious to moisture and as it will never require painting, it will not be rendered difficult to operate from some over liberal application of paint".
The VEKA vertical slider has been developed to an advanced design, with a slimline outer frame and maximised window energy rating performance".
"We listened to what the industry wanted," continues John.
"And the general consensus was for a window system with all the visual appeal of the original but with modern enhancements, such as a choice of colour (brilliant white, cherrywood foil on tan profile and rosewood foil on brown profile), as well as bespoke gearing features and a universal cill design".
"The result is a vertical sliding sash system that meets all of the requirements of the retro-fit sector whilst at the same time providing a classic and timeless option for the new build market".
VEKA is constantly at the cutting edge of technology and market trends and the introduction of the vertical slider represents the company's commitment to providing the industry with products and systems that enhance the built environment".
"The vertical slider has graced buildings for centuries and we have brought the concept into the modern era, to give specifiers, architects and fabricators yet another quality VEKA product for the window industry." concludes John.
