YOUR HOME A TAILOR MADE APPROACH Swish is a national brand with local suppliers, so when a Swish Authorised Installer comes to talk to you about improving your home, you can be sure they care about doing a good job rather than being paid commission by us. And they won't just choose an off the peg solution for you either. Every installation is designed individually to work in conjunction with all the other elements in your home. This way we can maximise its energy efficiency and help you choose a design that doesn't just look great but functions as part of the building too.. 6 7
YOUR HOME DOING THE RIGHT THING All our PVC-U products have a large recycled content and, unlike many other products, use recycled composite material in place of steel reinforcement whenever possible. We also use an organic compound in place of lead. The five chambered design of our windows means that they can achieve a Class A energy rating when used with the appropriate glass. It means less energy will be lost and will help to save money on heating bills. Behind the scenes we are also doing all we can to ensure that our business is as sustainable as possible. We are one of only a few PVC-U companies who can recycle waste materials during the manufacturing process and recycle windows after installation. We do this entirely in the UK, which keeps our carbon footprint as low as possible. 8 9
