Bohle: "The addition of the back check damper is a particularly welcome safety feature, as is the cleaner, more contemporary design but one of the biggest gains is in the simplicity and speed of installation. Making Alva easier to fit, with less components, delivers clear advantages for our customers." said Managing Director Dave Broxton
Central Window Systems: "Expertly engineered to enhance any type of project, from heritage and refurbishments through to new-builds and modern applications, it's the perfect product to help our aluminium customer base get ahead." comments CEO Gary Morton
Garnalex: "The Sheerline system is new, innovative, British, thermally efficient, clean and extremely versatile. It's hard to think of a reason not to buy it! For those of us that have been in the industry for as long as I have, Sheerline is a breath of fresh air." comments Steve Milham, Whiteline CEO Manufacturing
Deceuninck: "We enjoyed consecutive months of record sales under lockdown conditions in the latter half of last year and that has carried through into the start of 2021" commented Managing Director, Rob McGlennon
Carl F Groupco: " On closing the door, two latching deadbolts simultaneously extend and lock in place - this provides additional security compared to traditional mechanical locking mechanisms as the user doesn’t need to remember to secure the door. Unlocking the door is motorised, this enables the addition of access control and integration into existing building management systems." Technical Manager John Mitchell
Deceuninck: " You can manufacture the entire Decalu range, that's the Decalu163 Lift-and-Slide, Decalu88 Bi-fold, French and residential door, and the window range on one set of tooling. Highly modular, you don't need to tie-up cash in stock and manufacturing times are 40% faster." said Aluminium’s Business Development Director Nigel Headford
Open letter: Supply chains and price increases
Mike Parczuk, Sternfenster Managing Director, discusses.
I speak to our installers every day. ‘Exhausted’, ‘stretched’, ‘frazzled’, probably describe how they feel best.
We’re in a boom but that’s come with a unique set of challenges, so to be talking now about price increases and disruption to the supply chain - we recognise it’s the last thing they want to hear about.
As a business Sternfenster has already seen a series of price increases and surcharges - the communication of some of those increases, handled better than others. Each, however, ultimately brings us back to the same place - we’re paying more for components.
Glass, PVC-U, hardware, steel have gone up, that puts pressure on our suppliers, they’ve passed those costs onto us and ultimately, we will pass those costs onto our customers. …»
CAB’s Crucial Role in Industry Training
by Phil Slinger - CAB Chief Executive
Not many decades ago you became skilled in a profession such as joinery, plumbing or glazing, by becoming an apprentice with a company where a skilled person taught you how to become a skilled craftsperson over a period of a few years, known as your ‘apprenticeship’. After reaching the required standard you were then offered a job in the same company and eventually became the teacher of new apprentices, so the cycle continued. Little changed then with the ‘foundation knowledge’ and ‘skill sets’. Once qualified, undertaking an apprenticeship would be seen as giving you a job for life.
How things have changed today. Whilst the ‘foundation knowledge’ still underpins the skilled person, new ‘skill sets’ are needed and required on a regular basis as legislation and technology advance at an ever increasing rate. In some instances old ‘skill sets’ need to be unlearnt in order to keep in line with new legislation and new technology.…»
