Why Spectus Believes in British-made Products

Published: 6th June 2016

Globalisation may have offered consumers access to a wider variety of products than ever before. However, that scenario also involves being exposed to a huge number of cheap, low-quality and sometimes unsafe imported merchandise. It soon became apparent that buying local is the smarter choice — whether you’re buying a tomato or looking for a trusted window solutions manufacturer.

Spectus Window Systems are proudly made in Great Britain, and the gratitude, great feedback and overwhelming support we get from our customers prove that unlike what others might (mistakenly) assume, the British manufacturer is still alive, kicking and growing well. The edge of our British-made products is their exceptional quality — something you can only achieve if you combine cutting-edge technology, user-focused design, top-notch materials and timeless craftsmanship.

YOU’RE ASSURED QUALITY, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS ADHERE TO LOCAL REGULATIONS

When you buy window products from us, you’re sure that the specifications and profile systems are suitable for your UK home — no added costs and no time-consuming adjustments necessary.

WHEN YOU BUY LOCAL, YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY

When you support local businesses, you play a key role in making the local economy active and healthy. Moreover, you help locals find jobs with fair working conditions, which means you contribute to helping the community prosper.

YOU HELP ACTIVATE THE FLOW OF MONEY IN YOUR REGION

TIME magazine calls this the velocity or circulation speed of the local currency. The more people buy local, the more money gets circulated within the locality — from the manufacturers to the suppliers to labourers to marketing and so on, and back to the community — and prevents that money from being drained to other places.

SUPPORT FOR LOCAL MANUFACTURING SHOWS YOUR LOVE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

There are many reasons why buying from a local window manufacturer is the more environment-friendly option:

  • Buying from a local or nearby shop cuts transportation costs.
  • Since the delivery trip will be shorter, you lessen fuel consumption.
  • Shorter trips also cut pollution caused by vehicle emissions.
  • Locally manufactured products adhere to local and national environmental laws, so there are fewer chances of contamination or of the use of products and raw materials that might be harmful to humans, animals and the environment.

Indeed, locally produced, proudly British-made Spectus Window Systems offers benefits to consumers, the industry, the local economy, and the planet. Find out more about how you can make better choices by calling our team today.
