HeritageWeld – The Evolution of Traditional looking Welded Joints

At UTFL, we are proud to introduce HeritageWeld: a cutting-edge fabrication method that sets a new benchmark for the Residence Collection of PVC-U windows and doors. By combining traditional aesthetics with state-of-the-art precision CNC milling, we achieve levels of accuracy, consistency and finish that set HeritageWeld apart in this type of joint.

A New Standard in timber-effect Fabrication

The demand for traditional, handcrafted aesthetics in modern materials continues to grow. Historically, replicating that look has involved compromises — most notably glass-bonded sashes.

HeritageWeld was developed to move beyond those constraints, delivering a superior butt-joint appearance with enhanced durability and precision — and crucially removing the need for glass bonding, saving time and money on every installation.

Our CNC-controlled process helps ensure the joint is produced with a high level of repeatability, retaining the authentic charm associated with classic timber windows while maximising the benefits of modern engineering.

Unrivalled Precision & Authentic joint detailing

Unlike earlier approaches — including conventional welding, or the use of a mechanical corner cleat combined with glass bonding — HeritageWeld incorporates high-precision CNC milling to refine and enhance every joint.

This ensures:

  • Perfectly finished corners, reducing inconsistency for a stronger, more weathertight finish
  • Superior traditional aesthetics, with a true timber-like joint on both inside and outside faces and no diagonal weld lines
  • Unmatched consistency, with precision engineering reducing variability across every window and door produced

 

Innovation Backed by Investment

Mechanical fabrication methods were a step forward for the industry — and HeritageWeld builds on that progress. By investing in the latest CNC milling technology, we have elevated control and precision so that every HeritageWeld joint meets uncompromising standards.

The outcome is a joint that is not only visually superior, but also stronger and more durable than previous methods allowed.

Confidence you can specify

Quality isn’t just something we talk about — we back it. That’s why we introduced our market-first If It’s Faulty It’s Free guarantee.

If we manufacture and deliver a product that cannot be installed due to a proven manufacturing fault, we’ll replace it and issue a credit for the full value of the faulty item against your next order (subject to the full terms, conditions and exclusions).

Industry Recognition

UTFL was named a 2025 G-Awards finalist, reflecting our focus on customer-led innovation and consistently high standards across our portfolio.
