NWD celebrates 30 years

New World Developments (NWD) is celebrating 30 years of fenestration innovation. Founded in June 1995 by Austin McGillian, the company has evolved from manufacturing PVC panels to pioneering high-performance composite doors, aluminium glazing solutions, and smart home technology.

At the heart of this success is said to be Silka, NWD’s advanced, design-led and exclusively aluminium range that includes a full suite of slimline aluminium windows, rooflights, bi-fold, sliding and French doors.

The company is also set to launch some smart-enabled additions to its Kärben collection of aluminium hybrid entrance doors this spring.

“Thirty years is an incredible milestone, not just in terms of longevity but in our ongoing drive to set new industry standards,” said Asa McGillian, managing director of New World Developments, and son of founder Austin. “Every step of our journey has led us to the standard of super-insulated, futureproof Silka products we are able to offer homeowners in 2025.

“Silka is a testament to the experience, knowledge and passion for progression we have built over the last 30 years,” Asa continues. “Our team has worked tirelessly to develop a range that not only meets today’s demands, but sets new benchmarks for home design, energy efficiency, sustainability and security.”
