Family-owned TreeCon Limited has been protecting Bermudians from the elements for nearly 40 years.
The company was founded in 1987 when David Rowntree recognised a gap in the market for offering aluminum products to replace wooden windows, doors and shutters.
He combined his last name and his wife’s maiden name, Conyers, to produce the company name.
Today, the thriving business has a purpose-built showroom and warehouse on Cemetery Road in Pembroke.
Known for its professional, efficient and friendly service, TreeCon sells window, door and shutter products, and is a popular supplier to residential and commercial property owners, architects and contractors.
Assistant manager LuVince Cann said TreeCon is dedicated to providing the best products at the best prices.
“We have systematically chosen our suppliers to ensure that they meet our requirements for reliable and cost-effective products.
“Bermudians are very demanding with their wants and needs when it comes to their homes. They demand a quality product that accentuates their living spaces. We have been meeting those needs for nearly four decades.”
TreeCon is the only company in Bermuda offering products by PGT Innovations, the largest American manufacturer of impact-resistant windows and doors.
Mr Cann said: “Hands down, they deliver the best in storm protection by using impact glass in their windows, sliding glass doors and French doors, which is a process where two panes of glass are connected by a vinyl interlayer and baked to create an almost impervious windowpane.
“That, coupled with either an aluminum or vinyl frame (also known as PVC), creates a superior product that is perfect for Bermuda. Not only is it strong, it provides a layer of security that will help keep you safe by making it more difficult for burglars to break in.”
Impact windows can help reflect outside heat and regulate temperatures inside your home.
“Glass tint on impact windows is a very effective way to reduce energy costs and save money on your electricity bill. Impact windows also dramatically reduce outdoor noise.”
TreeCon sells a variety of folding doors, also known as folding glass walls, or accordion-style doors. Available with an interior veneer wood finish, they come in various colours.
Mr Cann said: “This product is quite popular in Bermuda as it provides safety and accessibility.”
Vinyl garage doors, meanwhile, are strong, made for Bermuda’s climate, and customisable in various styles and colours.
Two other types of hurricane screens are available: insect screens and shade screens.
“They are durable, cost effective, available in several screen colours, and they last a long time in the Bermuda environment,” Mr Cann said.
TreeCon also supplies glass railings.
“We can fit out your entire balcony, pool area (wind break), living area, garden – and even your entire house – with customised glass enclosures,” Mr Cann said.
He said canvas awnings are a popular, affordable option to bring shade and provide outdoor comfortability.
“They are stylish, and available in your choice of canvas colours in solids or stripes. The awnings are very stable structurally, another benefit.”
Retractable screens for protection from the elements, including flying debris and insects, are also popular.
Mr Cann said: “The Dreamscreen, for which we are the sole provider in Bermuda, is an affordable option to achieve these goals. The screens are retractable, durable, and there is an option for a motorised horizontal screen that spans up to 20 feet.”
TreeCon also supplies a wide variety of swinging doors in both aluminum/steel and PVC and has a wide range of locks and handles from premium brand, Schlage.
Mr Cann added: “If something is not available on island, we will source it for you.”
