Overview of VEKA’s systematic approach

• Warehouse storage
• Day of transportation to a job site

Packing to keep glass safe

All uPVC windows are made with tough single or double–glazed glass and then filmed with protective material. Packing assumes importance because the glass or the frames should not be scratched or stained. Often the window size is large, as in sliding or casement style. For example, French windows or large entrance doors call for the right packaging material. This ensures safety while transporting the goods to job sites very far away from the factory or warehouse. If there are more than two windows and doors to be transported, then the packaging is carefully done. The products should not be soiled or damaged in transit.

Warehousing of uPVC windows and storage

As experienced uPVC windows manufacturers, we use soft packing material to avoid the appearance of stains or spots when they are stacked together in the truck/van. All other items used are non-corrosive and will not scratch any area of the product. All the products are first sent to the warehouse if the delivery is being made to different customers. Markings are created for identification for each order. It helps the warehouse staff to avoid mistakes while loading in order of delivery.

At the warehouse:

• Storage areas are rainproof and dry. The temperature is less than 40 degrees.
• Ventilation for the products to stay in good condition.
• Our warehousing is in a pollution-free area which helps in keeping the packaging intact.
• We never store any material or frames outdoors. They are only brought out when transport is ready.
• During long storage, the windows are stacked vertically (not less than 70%) in the direction they will be installed.
• No packed product is kept on the ground level.

uPVC windows safely transport requirement

• Utmost care is required when loading and unloading. The key is to do it slowly and not throw the packed materials in the vehicle. When it is being unloaded on the job site, it is done softly.
• During transportation, the speed of the vehicle is normal. The driver has to take care of any roadblocks or emergency brakes which may shake the frames.
• No hardware touches the glass parts during vehicular movement.
• Only soft material is used to separate parts which require assembling on installation.
• Flat stacking (horizontal) is not allowed.
