With the rapid growth of its conservatory division showing no signs of abating, Sash UK has acquired some of its old High Street, Grimethorpe factory, specifically for the manufacture and distribution of portal frames for large-scale constructions. The new portal factory, which opens shortly just 300m from their main premises, will offer commercial and trade customers a tailored service for a wide range of applications.
Sash UK has achieved phenomenal success with sales of its conservatories, and has recently witnessed a major increase in enquiries for larger scale conservatories requiring portal frames, particularly for commercial contracts both here and overseas. Indeed, the company's Portal system was specifically developed for the larger projects, proving to be highly successful for commercial buildings such as pubs, clubs, restaurants and hotels. It is also beginning to satisfy another growing niche market within the domestic sector, where demand for larger conservatories and swimming pool enclosures is on the increase.

David Ruzicka, Joint Managing Director of Sash UK, comments: "Opening a separate factory specifically for portal frames is a step that is typically forward-thinking for Sash UK. Whilst larger conservatories currently represent a much smaller market than typical domestic installations, they are becoming increasing popular everywhere. We wanted to be able to service these customers according to their specific needs, so it made total sense to open a separate unit. I believe we have massive potential for growth in this area, something that is supported by the huge number of enquiries we have already received about this new service.

"The message we are sending out by doing this is that Sash is the clear choice for commercial and new build conservatory projects. We are fully geared for the design, manufacture, supply and installation of the complete conservatory, from the largest spans to the smallest component and ancillary product. Whatever is needed, we can deliver."
