Sales of aluminium conservatories are on the rise according to Trade Plas Ltd, a Beaufort Secure Design customer in the Cotswolds. In response to growing demand, the forward thinking fabricator and installer is planning to expand its showroom to accommodate more aluminium displays.
Based in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, Trade Plas offers a complete range of doors, windows and conservatories in both aluminium and PVC-U to give its customers a wide choice of options. The company installs between two and three aluminium conservatories a month using Beaufort profile and Quantal roofs, which it manufactures in-house.

Beaufort has worked closely with Trade Plas to provide a range of finishes as standard. ‘In addition to white, silver, black and brown, Beaufort supplies ‘National Trust’ type Green and Cream profile for us. The latter complements the honey-coloured Cotswold stone perfectly’, says Richard Phelps, Production Manager at Trade Plas. In addition, Beaufort has also supplied Charcoal Grey powder coated profile as a special order for one of Trade Plas’ bespoke conservatory projects.

Trade Plas was set up 15 years ago as a trade supplier of PVC-U windows. Today it employs all of its own builders, electricians and plumbers to maintain total control over every aspect of an installation. The company opened a US division in Minneapolis last year, with a view to developing the untapped American conservatory market.
