Factory Showroom: Where quality comes to life

Step into our factory showroom in Erdington, and you’ll immediately sense the dedication to craftsmanship that sets Shelforce apart. Our onsite showroom is a testament to the superior quality of our uPVC windows, doors, and fire doors. Here, you can see and feel the products that have made us a trusted supplier for local authority building projects.

Our factory showroom isn’t just a display area; it’s an interactive space where you can witness quality in action. Run your hands along the smooth finishes, test the sturdy mechanics, and experience the energy efficiency of our products up close.

The manufacturing process will also be unveiled and visitors will be able to see how raw materials turn into fine windows and doors and learn about the hard work and skill that go into making our windows and doors, and see how much effort and creativity is in the Uk fenestration industry.

Our team of experts is always on hand to guide you through our range, answering questions and demonstrating the features that make Shelforce products stand out in the market.

At Shelforce, we’re proud that 75% of our team comprises individuals with physical or mental disabilities. Our factory tours offer a unique opportunity to see how this fully-inclusive employment model operates in practice.

We regularly welcome businesses from both the fenestration industry and beyond to observe our operation. Our goal? To inspire others to adopt a similar approach to inclusive employment and training. The results speak for themselves: we’ve achieved record turnovers for four consecutive years, proving that inclusivity and productivity go hand in hand.

During your visit, you’ll see our diverse team working together, each member contributing their unique skills to create our top-quality products. It’s a powerful demonstration of how embracing diversity can drive innovation and success in the workplace.

Work Experience: Nurturing future talent

Our commitment to the community extends beyond our workforce. We regularly open our doors to young people from the local area for work experience opportunities. This initiative not only helps develop skills in the next generation but also exposes them to the possibilities of inclusive workplaces.

We’re particularly proud of our close relationship with Oscott Manor School in Birmingham, a community school catering to children with autism. Through this partnership, we provide valuable experiences that can shape future careers and change perceptions about disabilities in the workplace.
