Form and Function A window is a contradiction. It lets in air and light, yet also keeps in warmth. It must be easy to open, yet still remain secure. It provides a focal point, yet we want to look straight through it. The ideal window meets all these needs in one, stylish unit, which demonstrates quality in every aspect - in the clarity of the glass, the solidity of the frame, and the effortless glide of its opening movement. Design and industry expertise. VELFAC glazing embodies both leading edge design and years of industry expertise. Our composite aluminium and wood framed windows are...

Electric Wharf live/work units, Coventry

Light for Life The slim, elegant sightlines of a VELFAC window provide brighter interiors than a traditionally styled alternative, increasing the feeling of light and space within a room. This natural light encourages a feeling of well-being, and can have a positive impact on the apparent size of the interior. Even smaller rooms can appear larger if they have an ample supply of natural light. Extended views of the interior help to create the impression of space, and larger, wider views of the outside, connects us with the environment beyond. Simply by opening a window, you can bring in the...

Realise Your Vision The VELFAC System invites architects to be as daring and imaginative as they wish. Dramatic architectural features or facades can be achieved by skilfullly combining windows and panels.

Because our windows and screens are made using the same system, the visual appearance...

St. Anne’s Care Home, Stoke Newington

Affordable Quality A low-maintenance long life is the best evidence a window can give of value for money. Reducing the maintenance and replacement requirements offers real savings over a building’s life. Once installed, a VELFAC window virtually takes care of itself - all it needs is regular cleaning, and oiling of the hinges and handle once a year. The sash won’t need painting or replacing during its working lifetime. This inherent durability also results in a window which is built to last - VELFAC windows have been assessed by leading construction industry consultants and a 40-50 year...

Peace of Mind VELFAC recognises the need to limit our impact on the environment, and this philosophy lies at the heart of all that the company does. Making a choice of window can depend on many things, but we believe the major environmental considerations are as follows: Reduced energy consumption. Our homes account for 27% of the total UK CO2 emissions, and 52% of total UK energy consumption is directly attributable to buildings*.
