Rapierstar: “Despite being a proven option for frame fixing, plug-free masonry screws are not always favoured by installers, usually in our experience as a result of a negative experience using poorly designed fasteners. This is because many of the plug-free frame fixings currently on the market are not ideally suited to the traditional brick and block wall construction of UK buildings”. said David Furness, MD
Epwin Window Systems: “We have found the Stellar window and door system a breath of fresh air to fabricate. It seems like aluminium windows should have always been this way.” Robin Squibb of Clearview Glaziers is delighted with the results and reports
Pilkington: “Sustainability is increasingly important in the built-environment. With advanced products, buildings can become more energy efficient without compromising on glazing’s aesthetical appeal, or natural light exposure, which research links to healthy living and productivity ”. said Michael Metcalfe, commercial sales manager
Morley Glass & Glazing: “This recent success follows previous annual rates of growth of 22% and 23% in 2018 and 2017 respectively and we’re aiming for a further 20-25% growth next year”. says Ian Short managing director
Promat: “Our latest additions to the SYSTEMGLAS range give specifiers and contractors even greater scope to ensure their glazing installations will offer dependable fire safety. Our R&D programme is continuously developing SYSTEMGLAS by looking at innovative ways to provide EI fire protection on different designs”, says Ian Cowley, regional director
CMS Window Systems: “The new Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice is a superb new facility that is set to give local people the very best quality of palliative care. After eight years in the planning and construction, it is fantastic to see it come to fruition and to have been part of the project team”. added Stephen Anderson, aluminium director
Letter to editor - Ian Searle
Dear Ian,
I write with increasing concern that, despite the Equality and Human Rights Commission inquiry (EMHRC) in 2018 which reported that 365,000 disabled people say their home is not suitable for their needs, not enough is being done to deal with accessibility issue in UK homes.
With a third of a million people needing urgent action for their properties to become more accessible and Part M requiring all new builds to be accessible, the industry has more opportunities to fit suitable entrance and double doors....more

Director of MI Products
