New roof lights division launched

A new roof lights division has been launched by a leading manufacturer of aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling.

Glass Roof Direct aims to take advantage of an increasing demand for aluminium glazing products at private and public sector property developments across the country.

Based in Aston, Birmingham, the business is part of Performance Window Fabrications (PWF), under the umbrella of Six-Twenty Group. 

The group has assembled a highly-trained team of fenestration experts with more than 100 years’ experience between them. It recently launched Fire Windows Direct, targeting the fire-rated windows and doors sector.

Alex Sutherland, managing director of PWF, said: “We’re really excited to announce the launch of Glass Roof Direct. There is a growing demand for high quality aluminium roof lights in both the private and public sector and we are in a very strong position to become one of the leading suppliers in the UK.

“Glass Roof Direct perfectly complements our existing business and brands and we look forward to growing the business further, investing in our products and people, and creating much-needed new jobs.

“These are exciting times for the Performance Window Fabrications group of companies and we have a clear vision for our future growth. Our strategy is to become the supplier of choice for aluminium doors, windows and curtain walling in the whole of the UK. We are targeting rapid growth, which will involve further investment in the latest fenestration technology and in our highly experienced team.”

Glass Roof Direct supplies thermal flat rooflight windows. It has a range of three top quality products – fixed, ventilation and access - all manufactured to the highest industry standards at its Birmingham factory.
