Better for the EnvironmentEnergy ratings explained

The Vevo windows and doors that we install can achieve an ‘A++’ rating, better than most of our competitors, which means you’ll be able to enjoy a warmer and quieter home as well as lower energy bills.

One of the most effective ways you can save energy within your home is through installing energy efficient doors and windows.Whether double or triple glazed, Vevo windows outperform most of the other leading windows in the UK – mainly due to our innovative PVCu multi-chambered profile design.The BFRC Energy Rating Scheme is the UK’s national system for rating the energy efficiency of windows and is recognised within the Building Regulations as a method of showing compliance for your windows installation. The rating scale runs from A++ to E, and indicates how well a product will:

• Help you contain and conserve heat within your building in the winter• Keep out the elements• Resist condensation on the inside• Contribute to improved sound insulation.

PbLEAD-FREE

Lead-freeThe Vevo windows we install are made from 100% lead-free PVCu – better for the environment and better for you and your family. You no longer have lead in your petrol or paint, so why choose to have windows containing lead?

EnergyPlusSetting new standards

The uniquely designed six chamber energy plus system is so efficient it can achieve the energy ratings A+13 with a double glazed unit and A+23 with a triple glazed unit, which exceeds the new A++ standard.

Energy Efficiency

The Vevo EnergyPlus range offers even greater energy efficiency for your home.

Why pay to heat your home, then lose up to 20% through your windows and doors?

Heat is being lost through inefficient windows and doors

Or, if it’s the modern look you’re after, you could go for smooth grey in our sleek aluminium profile.

Vevo Profile8

VevoSculpturedThe sculptured option gives a more curvaceous, traditional, decorative finish to your window. A popular choice for period properties.

VevoChamferedThe chamfered option creates a symmetrical, contemporary, straight edged style. Typically considered a more modern look.

WindowsNot every PVCu window system is the same

When you’re deciding which range of windows to choose for your home, there are a number of factors to consider:• Will they look good? • Will they be sympathetic to the overall building design?• Will they exceed the most stringent energy efficiency targets and help minimise ongoing heating bills?• Will they provide the highest levels of safety and security?• Are they available in a wide range of styles and colour choices?• Is there a range of matching doors, roofs and other products available?• Will the products be guaranteed?

The Vevo range is different to other systems on the market – being designed from scratch to take advantage of the very latest developments in window engineering technology.

Combining high-tech design and engineering with the flexibility to create an individual appearance for every home, the Vevo system pushes the boundaries of possibility with a range that doesn’t even need to look like PVCu. And with the patented double-action bubble gasket offering a continuous seal, even in the corners, draughty windows are a thing of the past.

Safe & SecureKeep the intruders out!

Window

s: Security

Your home should be a safe haven – that’s why all our windows are designed, tested and certified to meet the highest standards of security. We also cyclic test our moving parts to make sure they won’t wear out, however much you use them.Child restrictors can be fitted to almost any Vevo window to give you extra peace of mind that your little ones will be safe – please ask for more information.

PAS24:2012This accreditation is part of the British Standards system and shows that every component used to make the product has been subjected to a series of tests, demonstrating enhanced security performance for your peace of mind.

Secured by DesignA police-backed initiative, Secured by Design status is awarded to products designed with exceptional security features as their main priority. Products that hold this certification are tested to meet the requirements of the Association of Chief Police Officers’.

Enhanced SecurityHigh security shootbolts top and bottom.

The shootbolts are double the thickness than most on the market.

An end cam fitted close to the shootbolt adds extra security.

Metal keeps for maximum security.

The centre lock has robust opposing claws that firmly grip both ends of the keep to resist attack.

Design OptionsWindowsTrusting us to use Vevo products to transform your home and lifestyle brings exciting choices. Not least, the opportunity to choose from an almost limitless range of colours, profiles, textures and styles for the look you want.

Georgian BarAt Vevo we manufacture our Georgian style double glazed sealed units with an internal bar to give the effect (at a distance) of separate sealed units.This popular feature is always in demand as it combines stylish traditional looks, with an easy to clean, low maintenance finish.

Astragal BarDesigned to replicate traditional timber windows, the Vevo Georgian astragal bar design goes one step further than our Georgian window.As well as incorporating spacer bars between the glass, bars are also raised from the glass to give the window an authentic cottage style look, making the astragal bar extremely popular, particularly with owners of older-style properties.

Leaded GlassTraditional leaded windows are an important architectural feature of many houses and very much part of the English Heritage. While a lead design serves no practical purpose today leaded windows can enhance a property of any age with character and charm. A wide choice of leaded window designs are available to closely match your existing windows. There are also two different colours of lead; silver and antique which provides a more aged look. Our leaded windows offer easier cleaning and maintenance as well as the enhanced insulating qualities of modern uPVC windows.

Decorative GlassYou don’t have to lose the character of your property when you update your windows. With a wide range of choice of decorative designs or even a bespoke design, your house will retain it’s character whilst gaining all the benefits of new windows.

Equal Sight LinesA more traditional look is achieved by designing your windows with equal width frames ensuring a balanced and equal sight line across all glass units. This applies both horizontally and vertically.

Unequal Sight LinesHaving opening sashes in certain areas of the window creates an unequal glass sight line between the sash and the fixed light.

12

Colour Finish OptionsNot just available in standard white, our windows can be personalised to suit the style of your home - as well as its colour scheme.

2. Special Colour OptionsIf the stock colours aren’t quite what you want, special order colours are available.The molecular cross bond process of Kolorbond means that the choice of colour for your windows is truly yours. Available in all standard RAL and BS colours. Colour can be applied to uPVC window frames, doors, conservatories and fascias. Guaranteed to adhere to the plastic and is extremely colour stable and resistant to UV. Vevo also offers a special order foiling option. Ask our sales team for details.

CasementWindows

The casement window offers total versatility and is still the most popular choice available today. The traditional British window style offers slim sight lines to allow in maximum light.

You can say goodbye to draughty windows as the patented double-action bubble gasket gives a continuous seal - even in the corners.

Available in sculptured (curved) or chamfered (bevelled) 70mm profiles (frames), with either 28mm double or 40mm triple glazing. Vevo casement windows are normally internally beaded, but can be externally beaded.

To add character you can add astragal bars or Georgian bars. You can also choose from a wide choice of colours, finishes, hardware and glazing options.

15

Vertical SliderWindows

s: Styles

When you want the best of both worlds, the traditional visual appeal and versatility of sliding sash windows meets low-maintenance, rattle-free modern construction in Vevo vertical sliders.Vertical sliders can be styled with various Georgian bar designs: single, double bars or a full grid and with a choice of internal or astragal Georgian bar.

And don’t forget those finishing touches: run through sash horns, thumb latches and finger pulls.

Vertical sliders are also available in aluminium - see aluminium section.

16

ShapedWindows

Here at Vevo we are proud of our manufacturing and design capabilities and we pride ourselves on our experience and expertise and our ability to ‘fit any window, anywhere’.Our ability to manufacture windows in all shapes and sizes sets us apart from the competition and provides you with more choice. Once your windows are designed and built at our UK based workshops our Vevo craftsmen and expert fitters can install your beautifully crafted shaped windows almost anywhere and look forward to the challenge.

As with our standard range of double glazed windows the Vevo shaped windows you require can still be made from a choice of an almost limitless range of colour finishes, profiles, textures and styles for the look you want.

A window does not have to be square. Vevo can manufacture windows in all shapes and sizes and are happy to undertake more difficult installations. Arched, round or simply ‘odd-shaped’ we can provide the solution.

You can even have an arched vertical slider.

17

Tilt and TurnWindows

Window

s: Styles

If you love having your windows open to let in fresh air, but worry about security, why not consider Vevo tilt and turn windows for your ground floor?The open-in style of window is very much a European design and is ideal for cleaning from within (in the turn position).

Ideal for high-rise as well as low-rise applications, the tilt and turn window offers a greater scope for larger opening lights than a traditional casement window and the larger panes of glass help its thermal performance.

Perfect as a fire escape or simply to let in more fresh air, most windows are supplied as ‘tilt before turn’ to make them safer and avoid the risk of children opening them fully in the first instance.

With many practical benefits, tilt and turn windows are also available with as many options as our popular casement window.

18

Flush CasementWindows

Want the look of a traditional timber window with all the advantages of PVCu? Many property owners require a traditional timber window frame, sometimes due to planning or environmental restrictions.

Timber frames tend to be expensive, need regular maintenance and can be difficult to replace.

Vevo recognised the need to develop a casement window frame that would fit into any property, where the sash fitted flush into the frame – and which could be foiled to look like traditional timber or to offer a sleek, contemporary finish.

The Vevo flush casement window, like the rest of the EnergyPlus window range, is ‘A+’ rated, offering a lower cost window with higher thermal benefits than timber – in addition to being fully secure and available in a huge choice of colours.

Available in sculptured profile with a flush finish on the external faces.

19

Sash HornWindows

Window

s: Styles

Vevo’s industry leading sash horn windows provide the traditional style of yesteryear combined with 21st century materials, offering superior performance and functionality.Sash horn windows preserve the classic look of wooden box-sash windows while maintaining the authenticity of any property.

They are designed to achieve the highest levels of weather-tightness and resistance to draughts.

Made to compliment our casement range, the sash horn window looks like a traditional sliding sash but performs as a casement - giving you the best of both worlds.

The high security shoot bolt locking systems provide unparalleled protection against break-ins and the windows can be customised with accessories such as Georgian bars for an individual appearance.

20

Bow and BayWindows

Bay or bow windows are a great way to bring more light into your home. Choose from different styles and colours to get exactly what you need.Vevo’s innovative bay and bow windows offer a number of features and benefits unrivalled in today’s market place and are available in a range of styles.

The ultra-slim frames of Vevo’s beautiful windows increase the flow of natural light as well as creating an enhanced field of view.

Decorative glass fanlights can be ordered to closely match your existing designs. Ask our sales team for guidance.

Victorian Conservatories: Styles

The Victorian conservatory is the most popular style of conservatory and it suits all styles of house and home whether it be a period property or a new build. When people think of a conservatory it is the Victorian style that comes to most peoples minds. The Victorian conservatory style includes a bay front, a steeply pitched roof and ornate ridge details.

Victorian conservatory styles comprise the three-facet Victorian, featuring a bay front with three main windows at wide angles, or the five-facet Victorian. This conservatory style also has a bay front but with five main windows for space as well as aesthetics.

GeorgianThe Georgian conservatory style is characterised by lightness and airiness, with more subdued lines than the ornate Victorian’.The Georgian conservatory style features a flat front and a square or rectangular symmetrical shape. This makes the Georgian conservatory a really handy shape for laying out furniture and plants, with no wasted space.

The Georgian conservatory typically has a high, sloping roof style that gives a spectacular vaulted effect. Your conservatory floods with light, making it a bright, airy and uplifting room.

Lean-ToThe Lean-To conservatory is the simplest of conservatories in terms of design and its clean lines help it maintain a contemporary look which still makes it a popular choice of conservatory style today. Whether your lean-to conservatory is traditional or contemporary, the style is perfect for properties that have restricted space under the eaves, like a bungalow, or have an area that’s too awkward to accommodate a conservatory. This is because the pitch of the roof on lean-to conservatories can vary – so a shallow pitch can fit under a low bungalow roof and a steeper one would be ideal for a terraced house.

OrangeryOrangeries, like conservatory styles, are both traditional and contemporary, falling somewhere between conservatory and traditional extension styles.With their brick pillars, orangeries offer more privacy than conservatory styles and the interior height provides a breathtaking focal point through which light floods in to your home. Your orangery will also offer a seamless link between your home and garden.

Orangeries use less glass than modern conservatory styles.

P-Shaped Conservatories: Styles

P-Shape - combining a mix of lean-to and Victorian styles, a ‘P-shape’ is the ideal choice for a larger conservatory.Ideal for larger, detached properties, this style combines a lean-to conservatory with a Victorian conservatory, which can be either three-faceted or five-faceted. When you combine a lean-to with a Georgian-style conservatory, this is called an L-shaped style.

The P-shape style is commonly used as two separate living areas. Modern families often use the longer part of the P-shape style as a lounge or dining area, with the rounded part being used as a children’s play area.

BespokeAlthough all our conservatories are custom built, you may have your own unique requirements.For example a T-Shaped conservatory allows you to create two distinct living spaces within the one room.

You may wish to have a completely original shape of conservatory designed and consructed to fit your requirements. The door, window and roof systems that we install can be combined in many unique and exciting ways. Ask our sales team and we will be happy to discuss your requirements to help you to acheive the conservatory of your dreams.

LanternFor those with the right budget, a lantern conservatory style makes a fantastic statement of grandeur and elegance.Lantern conservatories feature a two-tier conservatory roof on different levels, creating a ‘wedding-cake’ effect. The two levels are separated by a row of windows that is highly stylish and makes this style ideal for period properties of Victorian and Edwardian vintage, where relatively plain conservatories might not match the grandeur of the existing building.

The lantern conservatory is a style that is often chosen to house swimming pools, orangeries or for larger conservatories.

Solid RoofIs your conservatory too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter? A solid roof may be the perfect solution. Whether you are constructing a new home extension or replacing an old existing conservatory roof a solid roof can give you total design flexibility and the ability to create stylish and thermally efficient rooms like no other solution on the market.

Constructed from insulated composite external panels and slab insulation, solid roofs are strong and robust yet extremely thermally efficient.

Gable Conservatories: Styles

A gable-end conservatory can add real grandeur to your home.A gable-end conservatory is square or rectangular in style, like a Georgian conservatory. This gives you maximum space to plan the interior of your gable-end conservatory. The gable front of the conservatory adds style and also maximises light coming into the room, while the height of the conservatory gives the room a feeling of space.

The gable roof provides a grand and stunning impact both inside and out, and the front of the gable-end conservatory can have a number of designs including a ‘sunburst’ effect.

Large Span PortalLarge Span or Portal conservatories are unique and impressive structures Large conservatories are built using a supporting skeleton that sits inside the conservatory and are most often used for swimming pools, allowing you to enjoy your pool all year round without worrying about the leaves, insects and weather issues that you get with an outdoor pool. You’ll also save money on chemicals and maintenance by housing your pool in a portal conservatory. Perfect for a fitness room, jacuzzi or spa, large or portal conservatories tend to need planning permission and usually building-regulation approval, too.
