Maco Secure : If a burglar gains entry through failure of the MACO locking mechanisms on our products, the lock company will reimburse you your insurance excess up to £1,000 and contribute if a replacement product is required. 

Maco secure +: Again, if entry is gained through lock failure and the security situation is urgent, a uniformed officer will attend your home within 2 to 4 hours of call out and repair or replace the locks whilst securing your property. If you are abroad, the officer will deal with the police on your behalf and will not leave your property until it is made secure. Be honest; Can you find a guarantee like this anywhere else outside of a Maco and Veka supplier like Bahama? 

Personal comment from Paul Pixley, Managing Director:

We have learned from personal experience that some guarantees are not worth a jot. As a company, we have had various suppliers let us down over past years, either through products over time or through simply going bust. For example, we were recommended many years ago to be supplied by a company whose glass sealed units misted up internally. Because they would not honour their guarantee, my wife and I had to pay out over £185,000 to fulfill their guarantees so as not to let our customers down. Not one customer complained about our windows, doors or workmanship, yet we had to pay out for all this glass plus finance the labour to replace them, damaging our otherwise excellent reputation along the way through no fault of our own. That was a real set back for us. And this was only one of the companies that let us down. Wouldn't that make you feel angry and let down in my position, let alone the customer affected by this failure.

Having learned our lesson the hard way, we realized that we had to trade with financially sound companies who only supplied top quality products and guarantees.

Ethical companies, were proud of a deservedly substantial reputation, had good training modules for their staff and had a long track record, like Bahama, to prove it. This wasn't an option, but an absolute necessity to avoid future calamities and to protect our customers during the guarantee term and after. Imagine if Sony went bust. Could a local retailer then get your spare Sony parts long term? Of course not! Sony has to be kept going. And they have.

We had to find the Sony equivalent in our industry. And we have.  Veka was the absolute clear winner to protect you and our company. They are the largest privately owned window and door extruder in the world turning over a Billion Euros annually. They are family owned and have millions in the bank. Because of their product quality, they are one of the very few Upvc supply companies that can supply product that will survive the harsh hot climates in the Middle East and outsurvive other products in countries like Poland were temperatures plummet as low as minus 40 degrees. They have recently bought out Bowater building products, making them not only No 1 in the world, No 1 in Europe, but now No 1 in the UK. They have publicly stated their long term commitment to the UK and have backed this by investing heavily, the latest project being the installation of the only automated high tec direct delivery powder feed extrusion line in this country. It is capable of extruding 50 thousand tonnes of powder annually.

Veka was the first to have an "A" rated window in the UK. First to have an old to new window recycling plant. So many firsts we would bore you. Read here for yourself. https://www.ribaproductselector.com/Docs/4/07754/external/COL684748.pdf
