Natural Born Winners

Sash reigns supreme at this year's Glassex Conservatory Design Competition.

When it comes to designing, engineering and constructing awe-inspiring luminatrium structures that truly capture the imagination, Sash UK has certainly earned its reputation for being a world leader in this field. As a company that is committed to continually pushing the technical boundaries and being at the forefront of innovation, Sash is set up to deliver an array of breathtaking structures time after time, each one acting as unique testament to its craft… and it is for these precise reasons that Sash took centre stage at this Year's Glassex Conservatory Design Competition to claim its award as the Supreme Winner for 2007.

Entering into just two categories, Portal and Innovative Design, Sash's submission pieces well and truly wowed the judging panel seeing it storm both groups hands down taking home two Gold, one Silver and one Bronze... as well as the desirable accolade of Supreme Winner!

For the Innovative Design category, Sash entered its spectacular VEKA HQ structure that typifies the size, style and complete commercial versatility its luminatrium range offers. Constructed over 14 days, this gargantuan luminatrium showcased just how a mundane business environment can be totally transformed into a light, spacious business facility that does nothing less than amaze every visitor that comes through its doors – for which they received Gold. Its second entry in this category highlighted Sash's creativity and ingenuity when it comes to fulfilling a brief... for this they entered a luminatrium structure that was built into the existing design of a private home to serve as a fully working art studio, offering 360 degree views of the surrounding countryside – this entry scooped up second place and the Silver award.

In the Portal category, Sash continued its winning streak by entering two projects that the judges deemed illustrated its untouchable adaptability to fulfil both the commercial and private sectors perfectly. First up to meet the critical gaze of the illustrious judging panel was the Diplomat Hotel. Charged with a brief to create a light and airy structure to house a new restaurant and associated reception area for a privately owned Hotel, Sash not only designed, supplied and installed the luminatrium, but also created a striking application that transfers and extends the property’s dynamics, providing an eye catching alternative to traditional build – a Bronze award was given for this project. The second project submitted in this category was the Lake Ontario Project luminatrium that highlighted the construction of a swimming pool enclosure at a private residence situated near Lake Ontario, North America. Tasked with designing and constructing this 2,120 sq ft large span luminatrium, Sash created a tranquil haven for the occupants of the property to enjoy the enchanting views of this world renowned natural wonder, that sits just 30ft from the property, all year round. In fact, this project impressed the judges so much that Sash won two awards for its outstanding craftsmanship... Gold and Supreme Winner, making the clear winners overall.

Commenting on the awards, Sash UK's Joint Managing Director Dave Ruzicka said: "I am delighted with the results of this year’s Glassex Conservatory Design Competition. Not many companies can enter in four awards and win an award for each entry, not to mention picking up the Supreme Winners title too... but I have to say that this comes as no surprise. Every project we undertake has its own unique complexities and challenges to overcome, but we at Sash take these elements and build on them to continually better our products and services across the board. We are a business that is committed to our industry 100%, investing our time and money in the right areas to ensure that our luminatriums are well received worldwide. Of course these awards don't just underline the achievements of Sash, but more importantly the people that make our business work. I would like to take this opportunity to commend all those involved on these award-winning projects... these awards are for you!"
