THE fashion for non-white uPVC windows and doors is giving a boost to a Barnsley company, which has seen its turnover nearly double in the past year.

Yorkshire Specialist Coatings can paint uPVC, timber and glass products any colour by spraying them in their workshop in Carlton. 

Co-owner Rob Hall said: "People are beginning to realise that they are not stuck with white windows and door frames, but can have literally any colour. We seem to be heading towards a mini colour boom."

Among the projects the company has worked on are glass panels at the Wagamama restaurant in Wembley; window frames surrounding Hull docks; bespoke shower enclosures and bath panelling for the student accommodation blocks at Aston University, Birmingham, and the entrance doors to Barnsley market.
