Haffner Murat Ltd: "Automation is a critical part of many fabrication businesses these days. Our team is big enough to be able to respond rapidly to new enquiries and deliver impeccable service standards to our maintenance contract customers. It gives people the peace of mind they need." said Managing Director, Dave Thomas.
Bystronic Glass:"TPS® is a pioneering IG manufacturing process and is consistent with the Bystronic glass ethos of providing customers with efficient tailor-made solutions that will achieve optimum results. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Alan Levin and the incredible employees of Northeast Building Products for years to come and are honored that we are a key part of their growth and success" Concludes President Americas, Scott Knisely
Deceuninck:"Following the astounding success of our Heritage Flush Window we’ve added another product to the Flush family. Our new Flush Door looks fantastic and is #BestInClass for performance. We’ve designed the door to look and perform the very best, which was made possible thanks to the bespoke PAS24 hardware." says Managing Director Rob McGlennon
Total Glass: "As the façade forms the building’s main waterproof line, it was crucial to get the interfacing detailing right between the curves of the cladding and the curtain walling, especially regarding drainage. This required the aluminium curtain walling to be curved to follow the flowing shape of the cladding. " explains Chris Valentine, technical manager
Pilkington: "Maintaining and refurbishing older, traditional buildings has to be done with a great deal of sensitivity, especially when it comes to the glazing, which often defines the aesthetics of a building more than any other element. " said Tony Smith, business development manager
Jack Aluminium Systems: "We’re looking forward to the next 10 years of working with customers to engineer more systems that make manufacturing and installation simpler and more efficient." Adds Jeff Pearson, sales director
Spectus Windows Systems:"The age of the building and differing window styles meant we needed to work with a fabrication partner who could deliver bespoke energy-efficient windows that also achieved the right balance from a conservation point of view. Mercury Glazing are an established specialist fabricator and their products, combined with the cutting-edge technology delivered by Spectus, more than met these exacting standards." Paul Whyman of Dragon Wood Homes said
G-Awards: "The people and companies with G-Awards in their trophy cabinet are the same ones that have driven most of the innovations that have shaped the industry" said organiser Tony Higgin
Letter to the Editor - Protecting intellectual property - Alan Burgess
Dear Ian,
The industry has a mixed record of respecting intellectual property (IP). We’ve probably all seen cases of copying (ranging from accidental infringement to blatant copying and theft) of innovations, product design and brands. Common infringements range from using images and brochures without permission, passing off as other brands, as well as copying other companies’ products without permission and benefitting from their innovation and investment without paying for them.
We all pay a price if we allow this to happen. People invest a great deal of time and money in building their brand and developing innovations. …»
Yours sincerely
Alan Burgess, Timberweld®
Letter to the Editor - demise of SafeGlaze UK - DGCOS
Dear Ian,
If ever there was a time that proves comprehensive protection for consumers isn’t just a ‘nice to have’, it’s a ‘must have’ for the sake of the industry’s reputation, its now.
With the demise of SafeGlaze UK, the industry should debate its stance on providing robust consumer protection. And the policing of this. Safeglaze has potentially left thousands of homeowners with unfulfilled orders, missing deposits, and little comeback in terms of repair works or genuine underwritten guarantees.…»
Yours sincerely,
Tony Pickup, Founder, DGCOS
