Roof window sales at www.sterlingbuild.co.uk are going from strength to strength, even in the current economic climate. Growth over the past 12 months has been partly driven by the introduction of the range of Velux roof windows and more recently Velux blinds which are proving extremely popular. Continual SEO and improvements to the layout and usability of the website haver also helped increase traffic and conversion rates on the site. Perhaps more people are choosing to improve their properties by adding windows and carrying out loft conversions rather than move home given the challenging conditions in the housing market. We hope this trend continues.
