• Ties To Tai Tarian Taken To Top

Tai Tarian has signed a new seven-year supply deal with Aluplast. This is at the top end of contract length the largest social landlord in Wales will ever agree.  

The landlord cited excellent sustainability credentials, quality of product and ease of installation, as key reasons for the partnership.

The new supply deal follows an initial five-year contract, where Aluplast’s profile was successfully put through its paces by the manufacture, supply and installation arm of Tai Tarian, which is based in Seven Sisters, near Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales.

“We look after 9,200 houses,” Steve Meredith, a housing maintenance officer at Tai Tarian, says. “We manufacture and replace all the windows on a 25-year programme, which means the profile and other components need to be excellent quality.

“Our products also need to achieve certain criteria, such as Secured by Design accreditation; that means that it has to pass PAS24(2022) testing. Aluplast meets all of these needs. It’s tried and tested.”

Team view

Since Tai Tarian is the window installer, as well as the fabricator, the views of the installation teams were also taken into account when making the new commitment. 

Meredith says: “I spoke to the installers to discuss the way that they work, the way they transport the windows and the way they handle them during installation. They've had no problems.”

Tai Tarian carefully considers the environmental impact of the products it uses, including the raw materials. “The fact that aluplast profile is made using Ecotech extrusion technology, which incorporates recycled material, is very important to us,” says Meredith.

Ecotech is made by extruding recycled and virgin material separately through two feeds, into one die, to create a profile that has virgin walls, with the recycled element isolated within the inner profile webbing. This maximises strength and appearance, while significantly reducing the impact on the environment.
