The internationally renowned Litchfield Group of Companies has become first choice for a range of high-performance PVC products which deliver quality solutions and peace of mind for homeowners, housebuilders and professional specifiers worldwide.
With its headquarters in Derbyshire, and over 80 years' successful trading, the Litchfield Group operates across Europe and the USA. Its Sheerframe window ranges are the most specified product in the UK amongst homeowners, housebuilders and professional specifiers including architects, social housing organisations and local authorities. The company offers an unrivalled range of style options, all meeting the increasingly stringent thermal performance requirements under the building regulations. Because Sheerframe PVC windows and doors can be provided with exceptional weather tightness and ‘A’ rated energy performance using specialist glazing and construction methods, they are key in the achievement of a zero carbon home which requires a category six under the energy element in the Code for Sustainable Homes.
The Litchfield Group's high performance Masterdor doorsets, manufactured in North Yorkshire, have rapidly established themselves as brand leader in the composite doors market.
The new Sheerlite conservatory roof system, meets the growing demand for quality conservatories and home extensions, delivering stylish design solutions for homeowners and housebuilders, which perfectly complement the Sheerframe window and door solutions.
The company's superb range of Sheerline decking and fencing product, manufactured from high performance low-maintenance thermoplastics, has made major inroads into the UK and North American home-improvement and remodelling markets and is ideal for providing low-maintenance, high quality verandahs for park homes and holiday caravans.
The implementation of the Disability Discrimination Act in the UK has led to a greater demand for ramp and access systems for commercial and public buildings as well as for private homes and social housing. The Sheerline ramps systems, which offers slip-resistance ramps and walkways in an infinite range of designs and sizes, together with matching balustrades and handrails, can help you to meet the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act.
The Group also manufactures structural curtain walling systems, and a range of low-maintenance building products including cladding, and roofline ranges such as soffits, fascias and bargeboards, under the Hometrim brand. PVC clad curtain walling and structural grid systems offer architects, designers and specifiers a new range of high performance, stylish options for residential and commercial buildings including schools and hospitals.
It is the Litchfield Group's track record in design, manufacturing, quality and service that has established it as one of the UK's most successful privately owned companies, delivering high-performance, low-maintenance building related products both direct to the customer and via a network of carefully selected distributors, manufacturers and installers nationwide.
