Network VEKA Assure goes on growing in first year Nearly three quarters of all Network VEKA installers in England and Wales have signed up for its Assure self-certification scheme. Some 81 out of 114 qualify- ing installers and fabrica-
tor/installers have now registered with the scheme, with many prospective members also taking an interest. Assure offers members a subscription-free alter- native for self-certification, costing nothing more than a token £1.50 certificate fee per installation, while some other schemes can charge anything to over £1,000 a year. Network VEKA MD John Ogilvie said: “It is also quick and easy to use and gives members a co-ordinated brand with its combined Network VEKA logo but because it is only available to Network VEKA members, it also assures the homeowner of all the other standards and guarantees.”

Low carbon fully recycled windows Advanced performance thermally efficient windows, featuring frames manufactured solely from recycled PVC-U, have been supplied to a Birmingham ‘shel- tered housing’ scheme. Manufactured by Framexpress and installed by Berben Group, 128 recycled win- dows were specified by Yardley Great Trust at its Foliot Fields site, a supported living scheme for older people. Made using the new recycled low carbon RECO22 window framing system from Profile 22, the carbon footprint of the extruded window profile is just six per cent of that manufac- tured using virgin material. The first window system to secure a dedicated A+ rating across all domestic
applications from the BRE earlier this year, the specification of RECO22 by the Trust, provides a strong fit to its own commitment.

Much of this air tightness can be attributed to the use of Passivhaus certified Rehau
