Why PVCu remains the backbone of the UK’s modern building envelope.
Whether you are an architect in London, a main contractor in Manchester, or a trade installer in Inverclyde, you know that PVCu is the workhorse of the British glazing industry.
However, not all PVCu is created equal. To meet the rigorous demands of the Future Homes Standard and the diverse climates across the United Kingdom, your project requires more than just a standard frame – it requires precision engineering and high-capacity manufacturing.
At Blairs Windows & Doors, we provide the manufacturing muscle for the trade. From our 120,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Greenock, we fabricate the Kommerling O70 Gold® system, a market-leading solution designed for thermal efficiency, security, and project certainty across the UK.
The Technical Edge: Why 5-Chambered Systems Outperform the Rest
In the race to hit lower U-values and comply with Approved Document L in England and Section 6 in Scotland, every chamber counts.
- Five-Chambered Performance: Our O70 Gold® system features a five-chambered profile that is significantly more energy-efficient than the three-chambered designs used by many competitors.
- Thermal Efficiency: This advanced engineering helps developers achieve A-rated thermal performance, reducing carbon footprints for high-density residential projects from Birmingham to Glasgow.
- Weathersealing: Low-line gaskets and weatherseals provide lasting protection against the rugged UK weather while maintaining slim, aesthetically pleasing sightlines.
Secured by Design: PAS 24 Certified
Security is non-negotiable for modern UK developments. Whether you are building social housing in the North of England or luxury apartments in London, your glazing must be a formidable barrier.
- Central Eurogroove: The O70 Gold® features a full-depth, central eurogroove that allows for deeper nesting of multi-point locking hardware.
- Structural Strength: Steel reinforcement is utilised strategically within the profile to add critical structural strength where it is needed most.
Aesthetics That Elevate
While performance is paramount, aesthetics drive market value. Our PVCu solutions are designed to blend seamlessly into both modern and traditional UK streetscapes.
- Sculptured Lines: Our design shows off soft, sculptured lines in the frame, sash, and glazing bead, offering a premium finish that mimics traditional joinery.
- Bespoke Colourways: With 9 different standard colourways available, we provide the flexibility to match any architectural branding.
UK-Wide Logistics: Project Certainty from Scotland to the South Coast
Logistics are the heartbeat of project certainty. As part of the Saveheat Group, Blairs operates a robust supply chain that bridges the gap between our Scottish manufacturing hubs and sites across the United Kingdom.
- High-Capacity Output: Our specialised facility in Greenock is equipped to handle high-volume trade orders with precision.
- Reliable Delivery: We understand the “Just-in-Time” requirements of modern sites in hubs like Leeds, Liverpool, and Bristol, providing reliable lead times and technical support.
- Technical Competency: Led by industry veterans, our operations team ensures that every frame meets the Blairs Standard before it leaves the factory floor.
