A year on from Hazlemere’s 30th Anniversary and still going strong

Back in April 2015, Hazlemere Window Company Ltd celebrated 30 years in business as independent double glazing manufacturers and installers. Another year on and this family owned and run business continues to invest in the latest most thermally efficient products, high tech machinery, expert staff and a long term stable future for all it’s customers and employees.

During Spring 2016 Hazlemere Windows started a major refurbishment of their 8,000 square feet High Wycombe Showroom in Wellington Road, on Cressex Business Park, adjacent to their 38,000 square foot factory. The work is being done in several phases to ensure the Showroom stays open 7 days a week, and inconveniences customers as little as possible. They have already installed as part of this updating of products the latest slimmer version of Sapa Crown’s aluminium bi-folding doors. Hazlemere have installed a six section Crown sliding and folding door that has a central travel door and pair of French doors, with 3 section folding and sliding one way, and the other 3 sections going the opposite way. These doors have been powder coated in RAL 7012 Matt Basalt Grey, so are very contemporary in appearance and can achieve an overall height of 3 metres, a result of having “hidden” piano hinges.

Another new product on display is one that Hazlemere Windows have designed themselves, and is exclusive to customers of Hazlemere Window Company. The Hazlmere Sculptured double glazed aluminium window system is fabricated exclusively in Hazlemere’s factory and is a design that incorporates all the best features that Hazlemere have learnt about during the last 30 years. The Hazlemere Sculptured Aluminium Window System is available in over 300 RAL colours as standard and is on display in their High Wycombe Showroom in both white and colour. This new “B” energy rated aluminium window system has a hidden Saracen locking system, and features slim sight lines and narrow transoms and mullions. All the opening vents have a lockable night vent facility and robust metal keeps for high security. This aluminium casement window system has been specially designed so it can take a raised astragal Georgian bar, as well as integral Georgian bars, square and diamond leads.

Yet another new product that is on demonstration display within the High Wycombe Showroom is a two section UPVC casement window with a “floating” mullion, enabling both sections to fully open to provide an extra wide opening like French doors, which is sometimes the only way smaller apertures in bedrooms can achieve fire egress that is legally required on replacement windows under the current Building Regulations.

Hazlemere have ordered a solid roof conservatory which will be built in the High Wycombe Showroom during 2016, as the level of interest in this product has increased in recent years. Home owners need to be mindful that every solid roof conservatory or orangery falls under Building Regulations which should be obtained prior to commencing construction, as in many cases planning permission for solid roof conservatories is also required.

More than 31 years on Hazlemere continues to invest it it’s future, showrooms (the other being in Welwyn Garden City) and vehicle fleet, which now numbers more than 20 vehicles, the very latest edition being a low emissions Luton delivery van.

Hazlemere Window Company Ltd is fortunate to have had such loyal customers over the last 30+ years, but also been able to retain its skilled and experienced workforce, employing it’s own designers, surveyors, ground workers, fabricators, fitters and service engineers. Another secret to its success is the number of unencumbered premises it is able to operate from, like it’s showroom in High Wycombe, so it is not having to constantly pay out expensive rents like some other businesses. A Dunn and Bradstreet check on the company will reveal how healthy the balance sheet is, which is why so many customers select Hazlemere, as they can trust that they will actually be around for the 10 year guarantee period, giving them peace of mind and the assurance of high quality products well installed.
