At the heart of every public sector new build or refurbishment programme is the drive to improve lives and create better communities.
Whether it is a new door providing more reassurance to a vulnerable old person in social housing; helping pupils concentrate by eliminating cold draughts and reducing noise levels in classrooms; or by creating more hygienic, easier to clean window and door surfaces in health centres ..the goal is the same, better living in better communities.
WHS Halo is one of the UK’s leading manufactures of PVC window profile systems and PVC and composite door systems. We supply a nationwide network of approved fabricators and installers, providing the optimum combination of national scale and local service.
We have been actively engaged in social housing, school and health estate programmes for over 20 years and, on some estimates, our System 10 range of windows accounts for one in every five windows replaced in the Decent Homes programme.
