Thermoseal Group: "With two new laboratories and a variety of additional test rooms kitted out with the latest equipment for developing a wide range of IG products to EN1279 requirements, our Technical Team have everything they need to ensure we supply the best products at the highest quality standards every time.". Managing Director, Gwain Paterson
Pilkington United Kingdom: "Some viruses can live on glass surfaces for days if left untreated, creating a risk for people to become infected through contact transmission. Pilkington SaniTise ultimately helps to reduce the chances of this happening, which could make a big difference in high-touch applications such as shopping centre doorways or the passenger window of a bus, for example.". said Global Portfolio Manager – Incubator Program, Neil McSporran, at the NSG Group.
Dekko Window Systems: "After five years of very strong demand for Raum, we decided the time was right to invest, and expand our ali fabrication capacity. With our new factory, we're able to offer more products, more quickly - and the extra space allows us to hold more stock, which means shorter lead times."” explains Sales Director Kurt Greatrex
Abcell: "The many benefits of aluminium are well known. Homeowners want large expanses of glass and aluminium fits the bill perfectly, providing a strong solution with sleek, stylish sightlines. Also, because it's such a durable material, aluminium windows and doors can last up to 45 years and can then be fully recycled at their end of life.". says Operations Director Neville Gleed.
Brisant: "Ultion has become so successful in meeting the security needs of the industry that it’s become the default for extreme security. We listened to customers wanting to extend the premium Ultion brand to other areas and we responded, so homeowners and installers can now buy doors for other areas around the home that will protect against even the most determined burglar."” comments: CEO, Nick Dutton.
Gowercroft: "As the UK window and door market has always been distinct to that of continental Europe, we believe it is all the more important that it is serviced locally with product designs and detailing that reflect the unique heritage and architectural styles of the British Isles. Over the past decade, imports have taken a large share of the UK market and this is threatening the authenticity and character of UK housing stock and the built environment," said Managing Director Andrew Madge.
Builders' Merchants' sales to builders surge in September
Sales to builders by Britain's builders' merchants surged in September, with sales up 8.3% compared with September 2019, according to the latest Builders Merchants Building Index (BMBI) report.
Q3 2020 sales also increased compared to the same period last year (+1% ) and were significantly up on Q2 2020 (+63.2% ) when many merchants were closed. Kitchens & Bathrooms saw the strongest quarter-on-quarter recovery (+131% ), but Q3 sales were down 7.1% year-on-year.
Year-on-year, landscaping Q3 sales are 24.2% up, its highest level since the index was set up in 2015. Workwear & Safetywear, up 8% compared to Q3 last year, benefited from a continued focus on PPE, while Timber & Joinery was up 3.5% over the same period.
Although year-to-date sales were lower than in 2019 due to the impact of Covid-19 closures, overall sales had recovered strongly by September. The rate of recovery however, varied between product sectors. While two sectors - landscaping materials (+1.5%) and Workwear & Safetywear (+1.2% ) - are ahead of January to September 2019, Kitchens & Bathrooms have some way to go, and Heavy Building Materials is 16.1% behind the same period last year. … »
