Twice the Success, Second Time Round
26th April 2016

Essex based fabricator CLIMATEC set out to prove that it was ‘More than Just a Window’ at the FIT Show with a collection of aluminium and PVCu windows & doors on show.

A large aluminium feature window took centre stage. This was a replica of a window recently fabricated for a church conversion. Visitors also perused the other four aluminium products on the stand; a bi-folding door, an aluminium casement window, a Crittal replacement window and finally a window featuring an aluminium astragal bar.

A screen of two large vertical sliding windows introduced the PVCu collection which included a flush sash window, a casement with run through sash horns, a Calibre casement and tilt & turn window. The use of 50mm astragal bar offered another dimension to a PVCu window. The’ star of the show’ was Climatec’s 1930s style PVCu doors.

Climatec’s John Banks said: “Around 6 months ago I set out to design a range of traditional PVCU doors that could grace any period building and would incorporate as many authentic features as possible to replicate a true timber door. I actually had no idea the task ahead would be so demanding and the complications in hardware requirements and manufacturing methods were a large hurdle to overcome! I am however very pleased with the outcome with the two doors that we produced and displayed at the show, and also the overwhelming positive response we received.”

“Since returning from the show I have already started work on producing 3 more period door designs to add to the collection and along with our traditional mock timber window option, we plan to put together a ‘Period Range’ of products with full marketing support for our customers.”
