Snooker legend Steve Davis gained another winning frame when he called in on Network VEKA fabricator Glazerite Windows Limited to find out about recycled PVC-U windows.

The six-times World Champion had set out to learn hands-on every step of the recycling process for a consumer DVD and dropped in on Glazerite’s North West division in Bolton to help make a window from VEKA’s unique Infinity recycled profile.

Steve was filmed through every stage of fabricating the frame before declaring it: "a new kind of window for a new generation of homeowner."


Recently, Glazerite made the first ever recycled window to go into a UK private house. In the final DVD, produced by Network VEKA, Steve will be seen helping to install that window before following the journey of one old frame all the way through VEKA Recycling in Kent to VEKA in Burnley, where the Infinity system was conceived and is made, then on to Glazerite.

Infinity uses a unique co-extrusion process where pure recycled PVC-U is locked inside a thin outer wall of virgin polymer, making it nearly 80% recycled material in total and with only a third the carbon footprint of a conventional window.

The Infinity system is fully compatible with the existing Matrix 70mm range and available on a standard five-day lead time. Glazerite is confident the profile will appeal to environmentally conscious homeowners and commercial specifiers alike – both expanding markets – as well as demonstrating considerable corporate social responsibility and commitment to the environment.
