Britain's best source of building product and construction news

When a Pittsburgh-based residential care home wanted to extend its premises to accomodate a swimming pool enclosure, it decided to look across the Atlantic - eventually specifying Sash UK to supply a two storey conservatory as part of its joint venture with VEKA, Blue Diamond Conservatories. The 38m long and 18m wide conservatory has to be painstakingly pre-built on the shop floor, with the components assembled to ensure that the construction meets all design requirements. Once done, the structure will be shipped to America to be erected in October 2007. Dave Ruzicka, joint managing director of Sash UK, said: 'We pride ourselves on producing inspirational structures and it seems that our reputation for greatness is reaching global proportions, seeing us outclassing our transatlantic counterparts. This high profile showcase job is one that will certainly cause a stir in the industry and quite rightly so.

Pvc-u windows and doors from Sash have been applied to a hotel in Newquay. Some 127 top hung casement windows with centre false transoms, 31 French doors and 13 French doors with angled fixed windows were installed. They provided durability for the coastal location and complement ed the aesthetics of the development.
