Nominated finalists for Best Use of Video at NFA 2025, Selecta Systems, have launched another set of window and door videos / animations to their every growing customer base. Marketing Manager, Mark Walker, talks about how video and animation can transform the windows and doors market.
As consumer attention spans shrink and the need to stand out in the home improvement sector continues to be more significant, businesses are turning to one of the most powerful tools available: video and animation.
From product explainers to installation walkthroughs, companies across the UK are embracing video content as a way to inform, inspire, and convert potential customers. In an industry where trust, visual appeal, and understanding are key to decision-making, video offers unmatched advantages.
With the rise in popularity of video content on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram reels and Facebook stories, video and animation are capturing the attention of the audience much greater than long descriptive text. This is why Selecta have invested in another set of window and door animations, designed to demonstrate the benefits of our ADVANCE 70 window and door system.
Making the Complex Simple
Modern PVCu windows and doors offer a host of technical benefits — thermal efficiency, soundproofing and multi-point security. However, certain features can be difficult to communicate through static images or written descriptions.
Animation allows us to peel back the layers of windows and doors, show them in situ and focus on the core benefits of which they bring to market. You can demonstrate how heat retention works or how our security locking systems function — all in a matter of seconds.
These animated insights help fabricators, installers and homeowners understand the value of products, enabling them to make more confident, informed purchasing decisions.
Inspiring Transformations Through Visual Storytelling
Homeowners often struggle to envision how new windows or doors will transform the look and feel of their property. Video and animation content solves this problem by bringing real-world installations to life through dynamic visuals.
Our latest video shows off the versatility of our ADVANCE 70 window and door system. This is simply done by featuring the same style windows and doors in a traditional styled property before transitioning to a more modern styled home, where only the colour shade changes and completes the makeover.
Showcasing different frame styles and finishes, video and animation helps customers “see the difference” before they commit. For many, this emotional and visual connection is what turns a casual browser into a serious buyer.
Driving Engagement and Conversions
Statistics show that product pages featuring video see significantly higher engagement and conversion rates. According to a 2025 industry report by Home Improvement Insights, homeowners are 64% more likely to request a quote after watching a product video, compared to viewing images alone.
With attention spans shorter than ever, video is also ideal for capturing interest quickly — especially on mobile devices and social media platforms. Video captures attention more effectively than text or static images and users are more likely to spend time watching a video than reading a description.
Whether it’s a 30-second Instagram Reel or a full-length product explainer on your website, video gives you the flexibility to connect with a customer during their buying journey. Also, videos are more likely to be shared on social media and increase dwell time. Google rewards pages where users stay longer, improving search rankings.
Building Trust and Professionalism
In a sector where reputation is everything, video content also plays a crucial role in building trust. Professional videos and animated explainers help establish credibility and highlight the companies and brand’s commitment to quality.
Showcasing products, their benefits and features clearly and concisely, gives people confidence in the product itself.
Multi-Purpose, Long-Term Value
Another advantage? Versatility. A well-crafted video or animation can be used across multiple platforms — from websites, social media channels, online ads, trade shows, email campaigns and showroom screens. The latest video can be either used in full or split into individual, smaller product videos – for quick reels or story use!
We see video and animation as an effective content investment with real long-term marketing value. All of our animations and videos can be personalised and branded for our customers, which are consistent in tone. This includes catchy and bespoke music tracks that accompany the product and compliment the animations style for stronger brand personality.
