G13 AWARDS
The UK’s Leading Industry Newspaper
“Glass News congratulates all companies who have made it through to the finals and wish them well for our industry’s gala night of the year.”
OUTLET DEALERS PROMINENT IN CONSERVATORY CATEGORY Two of the four finalists in the G13 Conservatory Installer of the Year category are members of the Conservatory Outlet Network of Dealers. Clearview Home Improvements and West Yorkshire Windows are both in contention for the award which will be announced on Friday 29th November after each shortlisted company has been visited by the G13 category judge. West Yorkshire Windows was a founder member of the installer network and Clearview has been a high profile member ever since it joined in 2008. Between them the two companies boast seven showrooms across West and South Yorkshire, and Lancashire and Cheshire respectively, and can service several millions of homes from these outlets. Neither company is a stranger to the G-Awards: this is the
second time Clearview has been shortlisted in the last three years, and the third time for West Yorkshire Windows in the same period. Two years ago West Yorkshire Windows went all the way to win the G11 Installer of the Year category. The installers will be accompanied at the awards ceremony by their fabricatorsupplier, Conservatory Outlet, which supplies a whole host of products to West Yorkshire Windows, Clearview Home Improvements and 21 other equally well regarded regional installers. ‘It’s no surprise to see our dealers ever-present in the G-Awards shortlists - they are unquestionably among the best installers in the country,’ said Conservatory Outlet director Greg Kane.

Roseview Windows RECORD FOUR
nominated for G-Award SHORTLISTS FOR Roseview Windows, the specialist uPVC vertical sliding sash window fabricator, has been nominated for a G-Award for their commitment to innovation and product development. Roseview’s newly launched high performance sash window, the Ultimate Rose, is up for New Product of the Year, an all-new category for the long established event. According to the event organisers this category recognises an “outstanding new product that will make major inroads to improving overall building performance, as well as making significant contributions to the company balance sheet.” Roseview is the only specialist sash window fabricator to receive a nomination this year and they will be joining companies such as REHAU, Veka, Mila, Pilkington and
Saint Gobain, all of whom are finalists for the same category having launched new products in the last 12 months. Independently owned Roseview will clearly be facing some stiff competition, but nevertheless managing director Willie Kerr is looking forward to the night. Willie commented: “2013 has been a year of real innovation – you only had to walk around the FIT Show to see wealth of stunning new products on show – so it’s a real honour to be nominated for the New Product of the Year. We’re up against some big multi-national companies with brilliant products so if we win it will be a massive achievement.” The Ultimate Rose is a mechanically jointed uPVC sash window designed specifically for the heritage and conservation sector. It replicates the fine details of a timber box sash window and includes a flush run-through horn, deep bottom rail and authentic putty lines. The window has been accepted in numerous conservation sectors, a factor that no doubt impressed the judges and resulted in Roseview’s nomination.
