Described as “a trailblazing, quantum leap in PVCu fabrication”

VEKA Omnia is no ordinary profile system. A pioneering new suite of extrusions for double flush windows and doors that satisfy the growing demand for flush windows.

Exceptional thermal and acoustic properties when glazed with triple (0.8 w/m²K), double (1.2 w/m²K) or single glazed units.   Augmented weather protection thanks to the double-rebated frames.

Enjoy windows that glide open smoothly and close securely. They exude timeless elegance and 21st century performance and so fit beautifully into every style of property. Thirteen colour options available.

APS Ltd is thrilled to announce our sponsorship of the Victoria College Belfast hockey kit with Tughans LLP. We are proud to support these young athletes and their mentors and hope the girls will have a great season, both on and off the pitch while they enjoy a spirit of camaraderie, teamwork and fun.  We are honoured to be a part of this community and look forward to seeing the girls in action. Good luck to all the teams, and may this season be a memorable one!

APS are pleased to announce the development of a slimline screen and door system for internal use.  This SL50 System offers the designer a retro look with a modern twist. It offers exceptional attention to detail with quality products used throughout.  Designed to be fabricated locally with one of the most recyclable materials on the planet.  Aluminium helps to give this system a positive environmental footprint.  The development and design of this system was part of APS winning a prestigious award and receiving support from UK Research and Innovation who identified this product as an exceptional proposal that offered an exciting alternative to this sector of the market.

A big thank you to all our loyal pvc window & door profile customers who remained loyal and supported us through the recent changeover to the VEKA system.  The need to change was as much of a surprise to us as everyone else and involved a mammoth task of re-stocking, learning a whole new system, setting up and re-training our fabricators while they remained busy and ensured orders would go out the door on time!  Now that all fabricators have switched over we feel that the transition has been relatively smooth due to the superb teamwork of all involved from VEKA staff, APS office & warehouse staff and not least our brilliant customers.

APS Aluminium Lift & Slide Patio Doors are renowned for being relatively simple to manufacture and install and this is why they are loved by fabricators and installers all over the country.  They are also a very modern and contemporary addition to any home or business.  When we called at an approved fabricator this week it was great to see another job being processed, this time for an apartment building by the sea at Portrush.  How lovely to look at the Atlantic through one of these.

We offer complete technical advice and guidance to our customers and are always on hand when they are in need of guidance during fabrication and installation of our systems.  Training on all systems is organised by Technical Manager Peter Cummins in our in-house training workshop located at Greenwood Business Park or Warehouse 5 as we familiarly call it and it is situated just across the road from headquarters .  This photo is an example and was taken recently when Peter was training a new architectural customer in fabrication of our extremely popular AP400 Lift & Slide Doors.

As we entered December we finished off a month of fundraising with a company coffee morning.  At the start of November five of our warehouse staff Giles, Ben, Jason, Colin and George hatched a plan to grow moustaches as is the norm in Mo-vember and along with Jonny our sales office manager started a push to raise funds for the local suicide & self harm prevention centre Emerge Counselling Services.  At the same time some of our sales office team took on a challenge to walk for Mo-vember and the group covered over 600 kilometres.

APS management agreed to match any funds raised and so most importantly the total figure raised was £1730!  The guys presented a cheque for £1500 direct to Emerge and £230 has also been donated to the Mo-vember charity.  Well done to the Warehouse staff who need to be commended for initiating the whole thing and thanks very much to everyone who donated so generously.  Hope you enjoy some of the photos.
