Our advertising heritage

Everest has been famous for its TV advertising since the early 80's when celebrity Ted Moult gave the sage advice that if you only fit double glazing once fit the best fit Everest.  Ted is still fondly remembered by many of our customers today.  Our advertising aimed to prove the quality and robustness of our products, which have all moved on now from the videos on this page but we remain proud of our history and the great work we were involved in.  We have kept a few videos to share with ex colleagues on the great work we were once involved in.

Tough testing

The test shown here was developed to ensure that we could recreate one of Ted’s iconic adverts with a 100lb punch bag being swung at a patio door.  This testing with Wintech helped prove our bi-fold doors of the time could withstand an impact of well over 200lb. We were more than happy – and so were the Advertising Standards Authority when we asked if we could portray this on TV. 

Step forward Craig Doye

This was bought to life in our 2016 advert 'wrecking ball' with Craig Doyle recreating Ted standing behind our patio doors while a 100lb punch ball was swung against the glass.  We thought what better way to show continuity than to ask Craig Doyle to step up and repeat the test with a 200lb punch bag. We felt it perfectly demonstrated that our claims remained as true in 2016 as they did 34 years previously.
