UAP Celebrates Double National Fenestration Awards Win

Hardware supplier UAP has been recognised with two wins at the 2025 National Fenestration Awards, in the Best Use of Video for its culture video, and New Product of the Year for Kinetica Freezeguard.

Following its back-to-back success as Hardware Company of the Year in 2023 and 2024, UAP’s latest National Fenestration Award accolades reinforce its reputation as an innovator driven by both people and performance, and its ongoing commitment to driving progress – always striving to deliver more for its customers and its people.

The Best Use of Video award celebrates UAP’s Culture Video, a reflection of its commitment to fostering a workplace where individuals are supported, inspired, and empowered to deliver for customers.

While the New Product of the Year prize recognises UAP’s Kinetica Freezeguard, the UK’s first 3-star cylinder to achieve BSI Kitemark Security certification. Offering protection against snapping, drilling, picking, bumping, gluing, and freezing, it is certified to PAS24:2022+A1:2024 and Secured by Design.

Steve Cox, Managing Director at UAP, said: “Driving progress is at the heart of everything we do. Winning awards that recognise both our culture and our innovation is incredibly special. They celebrate the two things that move UAP forward – our people and our passion for creating products that make the built environment safer and more secure.”
