Demand for colour is growing fast and today coloured profiles
including woodgrain
are 16% of total UK volume - over 6% higher than 10 years
ago*. But in Scotland the
proportion is even higher and growing, as Spectus customer,
Penicuik, can testify.
Based in Midlothian, Penicuik recently completed a £200,000
project that involved
fabricating and installing green and light oak Spectus Elite
70 tilt'n'turn windows
and French doors.

The 74 luxury new build flats
are set on the harbour side in
Kirkcaldy, on the East coast
of Scotland.
Unusually, Fife Council
requested that all the windows
facing the main road were
green, while all the windows
facing the harbour were
light oak woodgrain.
All the windows were
light oak internally.
"Availability of colour is key
for our target markets," says
Neil Clunie, Commercial
Director of Penicuik.

"And the systems company's
role is crucial. Fabricators
and installers can't sell colour
unless they have a wide
range to offer. We knew
Spectus could supply the
coloured profile we needed,
on-time and in-full.
Colour is fashionable and fun,
and is increasingly specified
in both the commercial and
domestic markets."
