This week, a warning was issued by the Climate Change Committee that overheating in UK homes was critical. In a letter to government, it was highlighted ‘Planning for global warming levels reaching 2°C above preindustrial levels by 2050 should be a minimum level’ and lobbied for a ‘framework of clear long-term objectives’ to be set out in the next National Adaptation Programme (NAP)’.

At VEKA, we are delighted to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Precision Windows & Doors Ltd on celebrating 20 years in business. Located in Lanarkshire, Scotland, Precision Windows & Doors has been a pillar of quality and innovation in the manufacturing and installation of double-glazing windows and doors since 2004.

This past year has been a journey of discovery, growth, and innovation. Here are the key takeaways that have shaped our approach and continue to drive our success.

We hosted our annual Independent Network Awards on Thursday 18 July as part of a day-long event to celebrate the industry’s ‘best of the best’ window and door installers.

In a drive to support advancement of security standards in the construction industry, we proudly hosted a 'Designing out Crime with VEKA' day.

In the evolving landscape of energy efficiency, VEKA’s Technical Director, Paul Kennington, sheds light on why the industry is shifting focus from traditional Energy Ratings to U-values for PVCu products. This shift promises greater accuracy and reliability in measuring a product's thermal performance, aligning with upcoming regulations and the UK's net zero target for 2050.

Our Product Engineer, Kirsten Moore, joined VEKA’s Technical Department in 2019 and shortly afterwards became a registered BFRC simulator. Her dedication and expertise have significantly contributed to cost savings for our customers, surpassing £100,000 collectively.

Window, door and conservatory fabricator, Martindale Trade Frames, is set to continue to work with VEKA until 2029 and beyond.
