Sash Doors Open Up in Cornwall

Falmouth is fast becoming one of Cornwall's most fashionable towns with the county's third largest tourist attraction, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, drawing in a record number of visitors since opening. Devoran Windows of Truro was quick to capitalise upon the growing housing demand in the seaside town and a prestigious development involving the regeneration of a former hotel into 28 luxury apartments, saw the company installing a range of French and single doors supplied by leading window profile manufacturer, Sash UK Ltd. Melvill Court was completed four years ago and Devoran Windows was contracted to supply the doors and windows. "We chose Sash UK for quality, reliability and long lasting durability," comments Brian Sprake of Devoran. "The decision to use the PVCu profiles was based on a number of key criteria, including the superiority of the material and the company's standard use of austenitic fixings to withstand the salty climate due to the complex's proximity to the sea. Also, the profiles met the aesthetic requirements, to enhance the appearance of the apartment complex." Sash UK supplied 38 French doors and 20 single doors for Devoran to install. The single doors were commissioned for the Juliet style balconies incorporated into the design, with the French doors opening onto individual patios to allow maximum daylight penetration. Sash UK was one of the first British companies to adopt PVCu windows and doors as its core product and its partnership with leading PVCu profile manufacturer VEKA has seen the firm achieve a reputation for excellence and quality. "All VEKA profiles are extruded to BS7413 for quality and resilience and with this pedigree, they were the obvious choice for the high profile complex," continues Brian. "Melvill Court represents the growing demand in Cornwall for top quality residential construction that incorporates highly durable components for long lasting performance and appearance."
