Colin’s Sash Windows Proves Resilience of Spectus uPVC Windows in Hurricane Conditions
London, UK – 16th of December, 2025 – Colin’s Sash Windows, a leading supplier of high-quality uPVC windows and doors, has recently released findings from a successful overseas installation in Jamaica. The company’s British-made Spectus uPVC sash windows were put to the test during Hurricane Melissa, which struck the island nation with hurricane-force conditions.
The windows were part of a bespoke window and door package that was supplied from the UK several years ago for a new residential build. Despite the extreme weather conditions, the homeowner confirmed that all uPVC sash windows remained fully intact, with no visible damage to frames or glazing.
This outcome is a testament to the strength and durability of Colin’s Sash Windows’ Spectus system. While the company had previously tested their windows in laboratory conditions of up to 140mph winds, this real-world test proved the effectiveness of their design and fabrication.
“We are extremely proud that our sash windows stood firm in such challenging conditions,” said Colin Greenslade, founder of Colin’s Sash Windows. “This serves as a real-world demonstration of the strength and resilience of our Spectus system.”
In contrast to the success of the uPVC sash windows, several accompanying uPVC French doors on the same property sustained storm damage due to extreme wind pressure and flying debris. This highlights the importance of choosing the right window and door systems for different weather environments.
Colin’s Sash Windows believes that these results are equally relevant to homeowners, architects, and specifiers in the UK, as resilience and durability become increasingly important considerations in window design. As global weather patterns continue to change, the company is committed to supplying top-quality window and door packages that can withstand extreme conditions.
Since its inception in 2014, Colin’s Sash Windows has been supplying and exporting bespoke window and door packages to international markets. The company continues to improve its product range by applying lessons learned from real-world installations.
