New Homes, New Styles . . .

Tastes change. People, especially young people, are becoming more design savvy. So house builders are using construction materials and techniques not normally associated with residential new build to create individual and modern properties.

An example is a Bellway development in Hulme, Manchester. There Spectus' curtain walling has been used to enhance new housing aimed at young professionals working in the city centre. Installation was by Window Systems of Leigh, Lancashire. Managing Director Dave Smith comments, "the design is contemporary and the curtain walling creates eye-catching features that are thermally efficient and cost effective.

"House buyers, particularly at the younger end of the market, are becoming more interested in the design and layout of their homes. PVC-U is the preferred option of house buyers of all ages. Inevitably, therefore, new, more creative ways of using PVC-U systems will play an increasingly important part in house design. We are, for example, seeing an increase in the use of coloured profile - grey in particular."

Spectus windows, doors and curtain walling are available through a nation-wide network of fabricators. Dave says " We have work closely with Spectus many years. It is a partnership that works. Spectus provided commercial and technical support. We provide the on site expertise, client liaison and project management skills. Spectus' fabricators provide the quality products we need to succeed."
